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.

Way to go!
