Books for the new year

I stopped by the pub­lic library to return a cou­ple over­due books, and since they were open^[1]I was­n’t sure they would be, as it’s New Year’s Eve., I checked out the Staff Pick shelves. I found a cou­ple books to take home with me: A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Cham­bers^[2]A sequel to A Psalm for the Wild-Built, which I adored. and Net­tle & Bone by T. King­fish­er^[3]I’ve nev­er read any­thing by her, but I’ve heard she’s very good..

What are you read­ing in the wan­ing hours of 2025 and the open­ing month of 2026?
