Angela’s Monday Mornings- Merry Christmas Eve!
Most of the presents are bought (I think my husband and the eldest are going out into the masses to purchase a few more this morning), my daughter is home from college and I'm going to sit down today with a glass of wine and hope I can fit everything in bags because my wrapping skills are profoundly lacking.

Clockwork Boys and The Wonder Engine by T. Kingfisher Clocktaur War books 1 & 2 Fantasy Favorite Quote: "Would you like to go on a suicide mission?" she asked instead. He smiled. It was the first genuine smile she'd seen all day. "I would be honored," he said.
