Thanks, Little Taiko

All of these authors are new to me, but I like the mix of fiction and non-fiction. Good luck and happy reading!

1. The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey

It was awesome!

2. Kiss River by Diane Chamberlain This was the second book in the series. It was a good book.

3. Beyond Suspicion by James Grippando

There was a lot going in the book, but I thought the author did a good job of bringing it to a conclusion.

I received that one as a birthday gift about four years ago. Sounds like it'll be worth the read.

4. The Poacher's Son by Paul Doiron

This was a debute novel and it was very well done.

5. Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly

This was a very good book, sometimes hard to read because of the cruelty.

6. All-American Murder: The Rise and fall of Aaron Hernandez, the Superstar Whose Life Ended on Murderer's Row by James Patterson
(See my review)

7. No Way Back by Andrew Gross

I have read several books by Andrew Gross. This book was not my favorite.

8. Up Jumps the Devil by Margaret Maron

This is part of the series. This was not the best of the series. It was all about land and land development. The one thing I liked about the book was it introduced you to all of Deborah's brothers and some of her nieces and nephews.

9. Last Man Down by Richard Picciotto

This was the story of a New York fire chief who was in the North Tower when it collapsed on September 11. He and several others were trapped in a void of a stairwell. It details their rescue.

10. That Night by Chevy Stevens

I think this is one of the best books she has written!

11. Paradise Lost by J. A. Jance

This was like visiting old friends. This was a good one.

12. Long Lost by Linda Castillo

I enjoyed this one too. It was a twisted ending.

13. Venus Fix by M. J. Rose

This was the final book of the trilogy. I think I liked the second one the best.

14. The Road From Gap Creek by Robert Morgan

I like the setting and the time period. (See my review)

15. No Safe House by Linwood Barclay

Not my favorite book by this author.

16. Hot Lights, Cold Steel: Life, Death and Sleepless Nights in a Surgeon's First Years by Michael J. Collins

This was an excellent memoir. If you are interested in medical type books this is highly recommended.

17. Death-Struck Year by Makiia Lucier

I swear I was not going to read a book about a pandemic during a Pandemic. Well, I picked this before the pandemic started.
(see my review)

Crazy coincidence, right? A couple of my ancestors died in that flu season.

18. Finding Me: A Decade of Darkness, a Life Reclaimed: A Memoir of the Cleveland Kidnappings by Michelle Knight

This was very interesting. What a cruel sicko he was.

19. War Brides by Lois Battle

I thought this was a really good book. I enjoyed learning of these three women. (See my review)
