Vacation is over and it's back to work. I had fun with family and even managed to finish three of the books in this stack! I also made progress on a not-pictured manga and graphic novel. Reviews for Paracuellos and The Chaperone to follow.

We leave for a week long visit with family tomorrow. Behold my overly ambitious travel reading. Books currently in my purse (that I've been reading for months) a couple of library books, Nancy and a kindle full of choices. I bet I barely finish one.
