This post will be my first one in 2012 to my famous blog, CRACKED REAREVIEW MIRROR. The topic, of course, will be on books and reading. I finally got one of those no-frills Kindle, and I'm now in the digital age. Just in the nick of time, too, since winter has us in its cold grips. I don't know if I read more or faster in the winter, but it's the season I most closely associate with books. Right now I'm making ready to dive into V IS FOR VENGEANCE by one of my favorite PI writers, Sue Grafton. Last year I read 125 books for leisure, and, for the most part, enjoyed every one of them. I very seldom give a book a bad mark. It's just a DNF and on to the next book for me.

Happy reading to you in 2012!
