I think the titles link to my reviews. Two of my favorites by authors I’ve read before were A Great Reckoning by Louise Penny and A Midsummer’s Equation by Keigo Higashino. A few others by new to me authors that I really enjoyed were IQ by Joe Ide, The Pot Thief Who Studied Georgia O’Keeffe by J. Michael Orenduff,  and The Witch Who Came In From The Cold: Season One by Lindsay Smith, Max Gladstone, Ian Tregillis, Cassandra Rose Clarke, Michael Swanwick. The only one I hated was The Bay – The Tenderloin by Trent Kennedy Johnson.

Thanks Stormi at Books, Movies, Reviews! Oh My! and Barb from Booker T’s Farm for hosting. I’m looking forward to doing the challenge again next year.
