Round the Year Round-Up

2/14- Last year I kept coming back to unintentionally reading books about families or people who come together as a family. I'm not sure if I will have a theme this year, but I have read two books back to back which talk about "Storytellers," Never Name the Dead and Loving Frank. It does seem like a theme to be explored.

Looking back over my books read this year, I also see a theme of searching for a place we belong. Will come back and talk more of that later.
