Reading Roundup Wrapup: December 2019

Pick of the month: Shadows Beneath, edited by Peter Ahlstrom. Better than Middlemarch!? Well, no, but Middlemarch has already received this highly coveted honor once before. I did really enjoy this, though: great stories, and a great insight into the writing process of several accomplished professionals and Howard Tayler.
