Completed Boy's Life. It's been on my TBR for awhile now and recommended by many of you. It was a great storyline and a very fun book to read..
so... I went back and added books I read from 2022 and 2023. That brings my total states to 23. Latest read was Remarkably Bright Creatures for Washington

Completed Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI. I had already seen the movie so I thought that I was prepared -- but reality is so much worse. After reading Beloved and this one within a month of each other my next read may be a little light hearted .
wow -- 3rd challenge for the year! I checked out the list... I think I have read 42 of them -- that leaves a lot of books to read. Of course, like others many are on my incredibly long TBR list. I will be watching to see what you think... maybe some will make it onto next years list! Happy Reading.
Finished The Malta Exchange. It was a 4* read for me. I always enjoy Steve Berry books because his plots always involve alternative historys that seem that they might be true. In his notes at the end he identifies what is actually true and what he embellished for his novel. This one uses the creation of the Catholic Church in a story about electing a new pope.

I get your feelings about the book. Not sure enjoyed is the right word. It was not an easy book to read but it helped me to understand the truth of our history
