Ah, LR Wright. I was so shocked when I heard she had died. I so enjoyed the Karl Alberg series and the start of her next one. I still have to start the Darko Dawson series. THIS YEAR! Great challenge idea.

Interesting list.

Welcome to all of the new members. Please enjoy this place. Lots of fun challenges to take part in or just a place you can track you reading and get good reading ideas from the other members. Have a great end to 2023 and the best for 2024.

Just start a new topic (thread) within the 2024 Motley Challenge thread. See what everyone else is doing. Hope that helps.

I've enjoyed Max Allan Collins and Nicola Upson and have the Windsor Knot on my bookshelf. Enjoy your selections.

Indeed.

I'll have to check those books out.

Congratulations, Martha. You rock!

Interesting challenges, Pat. I like your Popsugar challenge. Good luck. I look forward to seeing what books fill out your lists.

I've only read Killing the Shadows and quite enjoyed it. I've read other Mo Hayder books. I hope you enjoy all of your selections.

Some challenging books there. I read Fifth Business back in my university days and enjoyed the trilogy very much. Time out of Joint is interesting one. The Paradise was excellent, as was the TV series based on it. I hope to read more Octavia Butler next year. Enjoy them all

Arizona is my next spot to visit. While Agents of Dreamland by Caitlín R. Kiernan does also wander to Maine and California, a portion takes place in Winslow Arizona. (3.5 stars)

Vetting my books to see which ones I hope to complete by year end and whether, if I don't, do I want to continue in the new year and I've given up on two books I'm currently reading.

Thanks, Karol. I'll be checking yours out too.

That's a fun challenge. I look forward to seeing what books and authors flesh it out.

The only book on your list that I've read is Hunt for Red October. It was great. I am reading the Martha Grimes books but I'm not that far ahead in the series. Enjoy your challenge.
