I’m too late to officially join in the First Book of the Year post hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. But I thought my photo was too good to pass up.

I’m a big fan of Alan Bradley’s Flavia de Luce “mystery” series. I say “mystery” because these books have become more about Flavia and her family than the actual mysteries, but are no less likeable for it.

This entry, Thrice the Brinded Cat hath Mew’d is #8 in the series. Number 10 The Golden Tresses of the Dead debuts this month so I figured I’d better get caught up before I can’t (get caught up, that is.)

Whatever your first book is, I hope you have tons of reading pleasure in the coming year!
