My Favorite Reads of 2019

I finally put it together. Here are my ten favorite reads from 2019 with "Flowers Over the Inferno" by Ilaria Tuti being my #1 book of the year. They were, in not quite alphabetic order:

Gerry Boyle - RANDOM ACT
C.J. Box - WOLF PACK
G.M. Ford - HEAVY ON THE DEAD
Candice Fox - REDEMPTION POINT
Peter Lovesey - KILLING WITH CONFETTI
Victor Methos - THE HALLOWS
Louise Penny - A BETTER MAN
S.J. Rozan - PAPER SON
Ilaria Tuti - FLOWERS OVER THE INFERNO
Fred Vargas - THIS POISON WILL REMAIN

There is also my group of "Honorable Mentions," since the unwritten rules say you should only have ten favorite reads. They are:

Garry Disher - UNDER THE COLD BRIGHT LIGHTS
Allen Eskens - NOTHING ORE DANGEROUS
Charles Finch - THE VANISHING MAN
Candice Fox - CRIMSON LAKE and GONE BY MIDNIGHT
Wendy Hornsby - A BOUQUET OF RUE
Michael Robotham - GOOD GIRL, BAD GIRL
Gerry Spence - COURT OF LIES
Domingo Villar - WATER BLUE EYES
Jeri Westerson - TRAITOR'S CODEX

 Happy Reading,
LJ

    You have some great reads here! I really like Louise Penny's work, and Vargas, Box, and Lovesey, too. Glad to see Garry Fisher here as well. It's good to hear you had some outstanding reading experiences.

      Thanks, Margot. I didn't get nearly as much read as I'd have liked but it's fun to hit the good ones. I also love knowing there are other fans of Fred Vargas out there. :)
