What are you planning to read during the winter break? Right now, I’m in the middle of Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, regarded as the first English novel. I somehow missed reading it when I was young, although I thoroughly enjoyed his Moll Flanders when I was in college. Next on my list is local author D.J. MacHale’s Merchant of Death, the first book in his Pendragon series. I just finished his scary page-turner mystery puzzler, The Light, the first book in his Morpheus Road Trilogy, and can’t wait for the next installment coming out April 19.

Please leave a comment about your winter break reading plans.
