I always reread The Harry Potter Series by J.K Rowling to start off the new year of reading and I’m listening to an Ember In The Ashes by Sabaa Tahir then onto an audio mystery
I couldn’t finish The Friend by Teresa Driscoll which I was reading on 31st, I finished it today on 2nd. First book I’m starting in 2019 is 14 by JT Ellison.
I’m doing the same thing this year … only reading books that I already have and/or that are already on my Goodreads Want-to-Read shelf. I’m not adding or buying any more. or at least that is my plan.
I finished Target Alex Cross by James Patterson. A terrifying book as to what would happen if someone tried to destroy America by killing its top leaders.
Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver…but I ‘m not getting good vibes from reviews. However, we chose it for our February book club read so I have to give it a try.
It’s a good one and set in the area. Did you read Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford? Firefly Lane by Kristen Hannah? The Boys in the Boat by Daniel Brown? I haven’t read them all but the JP Beaumont series by JA Jance is set in Seattle. I live in the area too and have read books set in this area. Kristen Hannah, Jamie Ford, Garth Stein, Jim Lynch to name a few have written about this area. One of my favorites is Kathleen Flinn. She writes about cooking (I am not a great cook, haha) but also includes stories about the area and people that live there. The Kitchen Counter Cooking School was one of my favorites by her. Just heard about another book, Blackberry Winter by Sarah Jio. I added that one to my TBR list. Would love some suggestions from you too!
@Ellen all great suggetions. Some I’ve read. If you like post-apocalyptic give the series of 3 novels by MP McDonald a try. They were all set in this area.
