Just wanted to share this fantastic children's book about...me It's not actually about me Or is it https://t.co/Fr6sg2FjXR (from X)

This whimsical story of a little girl who wakes one morning to discover she has grown antlers has delighted children since it was first published 15 years ago. The perfect Christmas present for any kid looking forward to a visit from Santa's reindeer--or any reader looking for some year-long fun! The family doctor, the school principal, and even Imogene's know-it-all brother, Norman, fail to resolve her dilemma. Imogene, the cook, and the kitchen maid, however, make the best of things, finding unusual uses for Imogene's new horns. Meanwhile, the problem appears to be solved when Imogene awakes the next morning antler-free.But the family (and the reader) are in for a surprise when Imogene comes down to breakfast. . . .

What are some of your favorite reads lately? I need a book list for 2021. No genre preference. I’ll start: “The Padded Cell” by my dad Richard Yale (available on Amazon). (from X)

The Padded Cell book cover

Richard Yale

When his oldest friend is found dead in questionable circumstances, Madison Addison is persuaded out of his self-satisfied existence of indolence and measured drinking to investigate. He soon finds himself immersed in the murky world of government intrigue that encompasses the vicious murder of a beautiful young woman, conspiracies involving shadowy agencies brokering illicit deals for political expediency, and a notorious drug trafficker with a unique trading advantage. The plot shifts between the streets of London and Dublin to the teahouses of Islamabad and the banks of the icy Bosphorous as Madison Addison and his accomplices find themselves pitted against a cast of unsavoury gangsters and international confidence tricksters.
