🤣🤣"thanks Alondra--here is to a great 2024. Happy Reading !

Okay--I have been very lax about my reading and even worse on updating my posts. I did read 12 of the books on my list ---yea!
Looking forward to 2024 reading

Read another in the Reacher series
Make Me by.
Lee Child. Taking a turn off my list to read
A Bend of Light by
Joy Jordan-Lake--window shopping at the library.

I found the Worst Hard Time fascinating also. I thought that the Big Burn was also very interesting, Enjoy your reading.

Finished
Night Road. So far I have read 3 books by this author
Kristin Hannah. This was my least favorite but I still rated it **** -- I would give it 3.5 if I could.
The Nightingale was far better in my opinion. I had a hard time with the characters in this book -- especially the mother.

Finished book #3
The Girl in the Plain Brown Wrapper **** I try to read at least one Travis adventure a year. January is usually a good reading month for me.... hopefully I will continue.....

Happy reading!"I look forward to reading Night Road. I have read
The Nightingale and
The Great Alone and enjoyed them both.

Andrea wrote: "Good luck with your reading; looks like some great picks!!"Thanks! I am off to a good start -- hope it continues

waiting til you finish before I add to my TBR ---it does sound intriguing but ........

Finished book #2
Silver Girl I gave it 3 stars. Not my usual genre but it was a good fast paced story.
On to book #3
The Girl in the Plain Brown Wrapper--good old Travis.

Great list ! Horse was my last read of 2022 — Geraldine Brooks is one of my favorite authors. Her historical fiction is so well researched that I always learn a lot. Happy reading
