Weekly Wrap Up (16)

The last time I wrote a Weekly Wrap Up post, I was getting ready to move to Traverse City - now I've been here for 8 months. Sheesh! Time flies, I guess. Next week I'm heading to ALA Midwinter in Chicago, which promises to be quite the adventure. I hope to see some of you there!

• Saturday I featured a few of my recently read favorites with quick recommendation blurbs - Recently Read: Upcoming Reads to Add to Your TBR Pile
