YEAR-END RELISHES

I'm behind but need to update my Relished W(h)ines update of recently imbibed books and wines.  As ever, please note that in the Publications section, if you see an asterisk before the title, that means a review copy is available for Galatea Resurrects!  More info on that HERE. And note there's no longer a specific deadline for Galatea--reviews are posted as soon as they're received/accepted!
