Looks like you read some great books this year.
I did! I hope it is harder to pick a top ten next year HA!
The Thursday Murder Club has popped up on a few different lists this week. Glad you liked it so much!
My post: https://lydiaschoch.com/top-ten-tuesday-favorite-books-of-2022/
yes! I see that there is a sequel out and then another coming out this year so I’m excited to read them both!
These books all look interesting — especially your top choice. As a runner who will never be the first across the finish line, I find that one intriguing.
I am in the same boat. I will never be first (unless everyone else stays home). It is definitely worth the read:)
THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB is a fun one! I need to read the sequels now. Glad you loved all these!
Happy TTT!
Susan

me too! I can’t wait!
I’ve not read any of these, but The Thursday Murder Club is on my TBR so I’m glad to see you enjoyed it.

It is great! Very well-written. So much so that I can’t wait to read his second in the series, and then the 3rd when it comes out this year.
That ultramarathon book looks fun. I run a lot, but I’d probably die on an ultramarathon.
Yeah I probably would too, but I do still like to read about those who don’t HA!
