Fantastic list, Diane! I’ve read a few, others are on my TBR list. Will have to “steal” some😊. I’m expecting Silence of the Chagos: A Novel to be delivered shortly - I ordered it at the end of last year. I’m hoping it’ll be good. Happy traveling in 2022!

That's quite an impressive list! I loved The Bone People. And I have a feeling several of us will be reading The Return: Fathers, Sons, and the Land in Between, myself included!

Wow, what an amazing list. I will have to put them all on my tbr list. I also like Bone People, but haven’t seen many other books I have read!
