competed my first book ...Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland. It was a fascinating and disturbing book about the Troubles in Northern Ireland. I picked this book because I read another book by the same author Patrick Radden Keefelast year about the Sackler family and the opioid crisis. Both books were extremely well researched, very informative and very readable. I recommend both books.

Great list. I added a couple to my TBR. Hope you enjoy your reading

I am late to the party and I must admit that I do not remember all of the tricks to updating comments on Goodreads. To make the deadline (tick tick tick) I will just type in my selections and figure out how to do the links and stuff……..

So this year I am using my new library card !! and trying not to buy any new books --- not to worry -- I have many overflowing bookshelves with books to choose from. My goal is to reduce the number of books that I own by completing them and donating them to the library. If I find I "need " to read a book that I do not already possess I will go to the library.

This list (except the 1st book) is made up of books currently on my shelves....
