As December unfolds and the air takes on a crisp, wintry, festive feel and charm, it's the perfect time to reflect on the literary journey that you took over the past twelve months. Did you travel to a different country, time period, or world? Who were the characters you met and what were the emotions you felt as a result? Were there any standout moments in your reading journey? Was it the discovery of a new favorite author, the immersion into a different genre, or perhaps the joy of revisiting a beloved classic? Did you read diverse narratives, historical epics, or futuristic fantasies? Maybe you joined a book club for the first time or attended an author event at the Gloria Coles Flint Public Library.  

As we say good-bye to 2023 and welcome 2024, let your reading reflections guide you when choosing which books to read in the upcoming year. I’m sure you will find many great books this way! Happy Reading and Happy New Year!
