I snuck in one more quick book to end 2017 (it took about an hour to read), The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett. It’s a novella about the queen discovering that she likes books – and subsequently being consumed by them. The queen reminded me of the queen in The BFG by Roald Dahl. What a delightful romp for the last of the year. I highly recommend if you are looking for something sweet and quick.
