Notes: The book titles are mostly listed in order of completed. There are a few where the last played date was changed because I played the book at some point after completing it the first time. In 2013 I’ll try to make a note of a book the day it is completed. Looks like there are 21 titles completed for this year. There are a few that I stopped listening to part way through. Perhaps those will get a second chance in 2013.

Note from Post -> Holiday Stollen from Avalon | Detroit Girls About Town

by dldamore

Stop by Avalon Bakery at 422 W. Willis in Detroit’s Midtown area. The Stollen is only for the holidays, so get yours now. They have full loaves to share or small 5oz loaves for when you don’t want to.

Note to self. Get to Avalon bakery this week or next. When traveling, bring the gift of food.
