January was an enjoyable reading month for me. I read mostly mostly mysteries and thrillers and branched out a smidge too. I even managed to squeeze in a nonfiction booked.
Favorites
📖 The Dark Hours - author Michael Connelly continues to prove he’s the master of the police procedural.
📖 Five Decembers- a sweeping saga set against the backdrop of WWII. This is part mystery, part historical fiction, and part romance. You won’t read anything else like this.
📖Chasing the Boogeyman - a mystery novel disguised as a true crime book. Really cleaver!
📖 Some Choose Darkness - a gifted young woman who helps solve tough cases discovers secrets about her own past after her father dies and she must take his place as lawyer for a notorious criminal. Great main character and lots of twists!

Just Ok
