January Reading Wrap Up

 

📚 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗽 𝗨𝗽 📚

Hello February! 

January was a tough month, but I managed to get some reading done.  I read eight books for the month and I enjoyed all of them. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 📖 The Lies I Tell - lots of twists and turns in this tale of a writer tracking a con woman. 

🎧 Look Closer - nonstop twists & very cleaver plotting from multiple POVs made this an engrossing listen. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🎧 The Levee - historical fiction about a desperate recuse mission during a flood. Thank you Simon & Schuster Audio for the complementary audiobook! 

📖 Red London - thrilling cat & mouse game of espionage as a CIA agent befriends the wife of a Russian oligarch. Thank you NetGalley & Putnam’s Books for the digital review copy! 

🎧 Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone - a locked room mystery set at a remote ski resort. Lots of suspects to keep you guessing & a dash of humor makes for a fun and tragic mystery. 

📖 All Good People Here - a family is ripped apart by the murder of their young daughter. Years later, a reporter sets out to find the truth when another girl is killed. The ending! Whew! 

📖 Blackwater Falls- racial tensions rise when the body of a Syrian immigrant teenage girl is found at a mosque. Other immigrant girls have disappeared, but the local sheriff doesn’t seem too concerned. Denver Police Detective Inaya Rahman is recruited to investigate. A timely and engrossing mystery. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️

The World Played Chess- historical fiction. A recent high school graduate just wants to hang out with his friends and make some money to help pay for college. He gets a job on a construction crew working with a Viet Nam veteran and gets the education of a lifetime. 

QOTD: what book are you looking forward to reading this month? 

I’m looking forward to the new book in the Orphan X series. It publishes on the 14th.
