For lighter contrast I just read Anna Quindlen “Still Life with Bread.” It is light but not silly.

I am on book 6 of the Daisy Gumm Majesty series by Alice Duncan. Delightful mysteries and deals with a lot of real life issues in post WWI Pasadena, CA, USA. I've set up a fan page. And Alice regularly sends messages.

next book gobbled down: Do not say we have nothing by Madeleine Thien. Again, epic historical fiction, China, from Mao to Tienanmen Square focusing on the Party's influence on music and people.

I got a surprise in my stocking, Jan Karon's "Bathed in Prayer" book. It's excerpts from Father Tim's prayers in the Mitford series books. It' really good. Each one tells a little background story, then whatever he prays. It's like reading all of the books over again.
