Read Percival Everett's So Much Blue. Definitely a page turner. Lots of references to play with if you want. Protagonist is an artist. Quite like the structure. My third Percival Everett novel, have loved each one so far. #books https://t.co/RtYMIDI4z8

Mixing it up with Bernd Heinrich's Winter World: the ingenuity of animal survival I worry about all the animals out there in the cold. How do they keep their toes warm? Are they getting enough to eat? Hoping this is going to tell me they'll be fine. #books
