Book fifty-seven of 2016: Merry Christmas, Alex Cross, by James Patterson. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Prairie read this yesterday, and said that since it’s a Christmas book, I should read it too. It’s more of a short story or novella, just 100 pages, and just as high quality as you’d expect a Patterson holiday short to be.)

A pleasant way to start the day, reading in the library by the Christmas tree. (The book is #HiddenFigures, about the black women scientists behind America’s aeronautic and space flight industries.) Photo by Prairie. (353/366)
