The Last Runaway by Tracy Chevalier

I really, really enjoyed this.

The Perfect Wife by JP Delaney

This is one of the best books I have ever read, and it makes me sad that it will probably be marketed and received as an "airport paperback, beach read, psychological thriller" kind of book when it is so much more than that.

Lost You by Haylen Beck

So . . . not exactly great literature, but I still really enjoyed it.

Keeping Lucy by T. Greenwood

So the character development, especially of the children, was weak in places, but overall a decent read.

meh

Elizabeth Warren by Antonia Felix

I really liked this.

The Race to Save the Romanovs by Helen Rappaport

meh

The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena

Engrossing, but then by the end, it seemed a bit byzantine.

Formerly Known As Food by Kristin Lawless

The New Negro by Jeffrey C. Stewart

This was good, but if had been half as long, it would have been twice as good.

Fierce Kingdom by Gin Phillips

Good, but not great.

The Other Mrs. Miller by Allison Dickson

Several major plot holes and problems with characterization. I only finished it because it was so bizarre.

The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead

I'm still trying to decide how I feel about this. I love The Underground Railroad, and I didn't love this. So in a sense it was disappointing. But in another sense, he did something very clever with this. But in another sense, it was redundant.

Underland by Robert MacFarlane

Interesting and well written.

The Chain by Adrian McKinty

This is one of those books that you totally devour and feel guilty about enjoying so much.

The Need by Helen Phillips

I thought this was very solid--good characters, unpredictable plot.

The Invention of Murder by Judith Flanders

This was fun.
