I got into Terry Pratchett's Discworld series lately, via Guards! Guards!. It's very fun stuff. So many books to check out!

My Christmas book haul featured three anthologies with stories by Edith Maxwell and the Paige Shelton thriller DARK NIGHT. I turned a gift card into Carol Pouliot's DEATH RANG THE BELL. And my friend Ann has arranged for us to go to a book signing and go to lunch with Edith Maxwell.

I loved Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who is nigerian. I highly recommend it. My girlfriend is a fan or her essay books, so those should be great too.
