Book Your Stocking with Alvaro Rodriguez

Book Your Stocking: December 23

Here we are, readers, in the last weekend of frantic window-shopping or the cool calm before the blizzard of family, friends, and memories that uplift and drown us. Perhaps you will find some time to order a book off today's list of books, or find one in the bookstore or library today, and hopefully the silence will find you in the low light of your reading lamp.

Please welcome today's reader, Alvaro Rodriguez.
