Books Read

I just finished reading my 70th book for this year.  I wonder if I'll make it to 100?

You'll notice on the list a lot of books by Archer Mayor.  He writes a detective series set south of here in Brattleboro, Vermont. It's interesting to read a book that mentions places I've been and places close to home.  Our library has all his books and I recently discovered them so reading them in order makes sense. I'll be checking out #7 next.

Of the most recent reads I'd recommend:

Northern Spy - set in Northern Ireland before the peace with IRA

The Forest of Vanishing Stars - a very engrossing novel set in Poland during WWII

Original Sin - about Biden and what people knew about him in his last months before bowing out of the 2024 race.

Any book recommendations for me?

I have lots of recommendations, Marcia, but I’m not sure that what I read would be the sort of book you would pick up.
