Reading list #1 2024

1. After Anne by Logan Steiner about Lucy Maud Montgomery writing Ann of Green Gables interesting, she had some problems with depression and her husband also suffered from depression.
2. Open Carry by Marc Cameron similar to C.J. Box and William Kent Krueger books. US Marshall in Alaska parts of the story were pretty far fetched and a lot of current pop culture influences like reality television set in Alaska and “Grumpy’s” rules too similar to Gibb’s rules in NCIS. Don’t know if I will read any more of the series.
3. Tricksters Point by William Kent Krueger #12 in the series more twists more turns more surprises.
4. The Art Collector’s Daughter by Derville Murphy WW 2 France and Ireland the young daughter of an art gallery owner is sent to Ireland to live with a school chum. As an adult she is finally given a framed sketch sent by her father, it contained a hidden letter saying he sent his favorite painting to her…..what happened to the paintings? Murder, mystery, betrayal, plot twists and more.
5. Tamarack County William Kent Krueger book #13 another exciting story. I started it Sunday afternoon and was going to try to finish it before I went to bed but I kept nodding off and would jerk awake as the book slipped from my hands then start the page again. I convinced myself to give up and go to bed because I wouldn’t remember the ending the next day.
6. Ann of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery 
7. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
8. The Flight of the Falcon a lesser known work by Daphne DuMaurier
9. Freydis by Gunhild Haugnes takes place in Greenland 1000 years ago real characters of Eirik the Red, father or Leif Eirikson, and Eirik’s daughter Freydis. Norse paganism, family struggles, coming to terms with the past.
10. Mockingbird Summer by Lynda Rutledge small town in Texas 1964. Turmoil of 1964 through the eyes of a 13 year old girl. Very good.
11. The Beekeeper’s War by Deborah Carr England WWI and WW2 secrets and friendship.
12. The Lager Queen of Minnesota by J. Ryan Stradal for book club family conflict, overcoming problems, seizing opportunities, and brewing beer.
13. Windigo Island by William Kent Krueger #14 of the series trafficking young Native American girls in Duluth harbor and oil fields of North Dakota 
14. Remme A Dog, Her Boy and Their Girls by me.  Last summer when I was finishing my son’s photo books I had the crazy idea to write a children’s book about him and his dog. I gave it to him for his birthday in February.

Time to start a new list. March is here the snow is gone again. I feel like it’s still a long way to spring. I guess I’ll start a new book………Ann
