I read and listen to books. My 2023 total was 76 books. I’d like to get close to that again this year. So much to read, so little time!

I’ve been very disappointed by Janet Evanovich books so why did I read this one? The Recovery Agent was available on Libby and I was looking for a quick read. But it was a yucky read.

I love The Thursday Murder Club series! I’ve read all four…actually listened to the last two. Laughs, tears, great characters and a murder mystery to boot.

If you like mysteries I highly recommend The Life we Bury by Allen Eskens. The characters are awesome; there’s danger and adventure, and an ending that gives a sigh.
