Thanks you for sharing your two top reads, Sandi, as they are perfect adds for me! I love Dystopian Fiction and I recently read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. I added and placed both audiobooks on hold at my local library. A bit of a wait, I'm afraid, but I'm very excited!

Good luck Terrie - hope you enjoy them.

I have read some great ones already so far!
I really loved A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.
It hit me in all of the places. So poignant and so well written.
It’s a classic, but it really is so beautiful.

Their Vicious Games by Joelle Wellington!!

Mastering the Art of French Murder by Colleen Cambridge so far!

Out of the 20 I have read this year my best pics so far have been…Lilac Girls and the Secret Sister by Brenda Novak

# 1 0n my list is " The Ordeals of Elly Robin". By P. D. Quaver The first book of a series is also called "The Ordeals of Elly Robin. It is great, with great detail and great.
#2 would be David Baldacci's "The Fallen"
#3 "Vegetariana: A Rich Harvest of Wit, Lore, & Recipes" by Nava Atlas This is a cookbook BUT it is not just a cookbook!! There are stories, literary quotations, folk wisdom, botanical lore, and historical anecdotes. along with illustrations. This is a Vegan cookbook, BUT could be used by any cook who wants to add (the un=said word!

Already commented but I just finished The Huntress. It is long and starts off slow setting the stage but oh so good!
