It is a busy time of year isn't it? Even if you don't decorate much, or bake, or shop a lot, somehow it sure is busy. I am looking forward to some down time coming up which for me means more reading time. :)
We had our last Mystery Book Club meeting of the year almost two weeks ago. We don't read a book for this last meeting of the year, but share our favorite books of the year, bring books to share and bring snacks to share. We had quite a spread! All so good.
I want to share the book clubs favorite picks. Interestingly, there were several non fiction books that people really liked, not just mysteries. Let's see if I can force the list I made to send out to the members, into this post.
First I will tell you my favorites:
Turn of the Key, Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware: We had read In a Dark Dark Wood last year I think which introduced this author to me. I really like her books. These three books all have a house in them. I like spooky house stories.
Trust Me: Hank Phillip Ryan: This was also a new author for me and I really liked this book.
Need to Know: Karen Cleveland: Another new author. I really liked this book also and plan on reading the next book.
Here are the group picks. They are in no particular order.
