So some of my choices for this month include "One True Sentence" for my mystery. As for a book set in a small town, I read "Amity and Prosperity" which talked about how the fracking industry has been effecting lives in 2 small towns not far from where I love. It was an interesting book that deserves more attention. Looking forward to seeing what else everyone will read. For a book whose title starts with H, I read "Hood Feminism" which details how the feminist movement could be doing more to help women in marginalized communities to achieve better qualities of lives. I look forward to chatting more this year and hope to do better at that.

I started reading "Love and War", the 2nd book in the Alex and Eliza serires by Melissa de la Cruz. It is interesting so far and that is my historical novel for this month. For a mystery, I started reading "One True Sentence" in which a murderer is killing publishers of small literary magazines in Paris in the 1920s. So far that is a little slow but I feel like it is picking up as I am meeting more of the characters.
