Some Mystery book recs…
I slowed down a bit with this genre.
Just as in prior years, I grabbed a library haul in October for spooky season, but it was smaller as I was behind on some social media bookish challenges. I also received several NetGalley ARCs of mysteries and thrillers throughout the year. But after leveraging audiobooks for the backlog mysteries on my TBR list, I’m back to needing to borrow ebooks or physical books to make some more headway in this genre.
Here is what I managed to complete since last summer:
