This was an excellent book. Outdoorsy, tense mysterious, family drama - it's got a lot of stuff to get you interested quickly and keep you hooked till the end.
This is about a woman who hits the Appalachian Trail and goes missing.

A light thriller, a bit predictable, but easy to follow. I recommend going in blind and enjoy solving the mystery.

This is not a fun light book about teenage witches. Its a dark story about pregnant teenage girls who get sent to a home and filled into giving up their babies for adop9. Add in and magical realism and there's your premise.
I didn't love most of this book. It's dark m it's not meant to be loved. I did appreciate how it ended, so for that it gets 4×

A light thriller with just the right amount of twists and unexpected turns. The story flashes between current time and the past, as an old woman recollects her life.

A truly remarkable woman. Her memoir is poignantly written, authentically told and beautifully narrated.
I'm often skeptical when an author chooses to narrate their own audiobook, but Ketanji Brown Jackson is a talented orator who's voice lands power to her story.

Engaging. I could see this be turned into a TV movie. Follows the lives of two ice dancing athletes as they compete over 20ish years

I liked this one. It tied together the trilogy to the other prequel. This is the story of the 2nd quarter quell - Hamitch's origin story.

Book 2 on the Silo series goes back in time to tell the story of how the world got to this point - the origin story of the major story lines from book 1. Cleverly told.
