Weekend Blog Hops - 21 December 2018

It's the weekend once more. That means it's time for my book-blogger hopping.

Does your book club have a book exchange for the holidays or any other time during the year? If you don't belong to a book club, do you think that would be something fun to do?

I'm not in a book club. However, I have done a couple of meet-ups with local people via GR, during which we've done a 'mystery' book swap, exchanging ones we've read and no longer wish to keep. Each is wrapped with only a note of the genre on the front. That was good fun, and I got to read a couple of books I wouldn't otherwise have picked up.

And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .
