Check out this list. Disclaimer: I am very picky with my mysteries. I like a good detective novel, but don’t often enjoy domestic thrillers. Due to yuck factor, I don’t typically like books with killer POV thrown in that dives into their psyche. I don’t really want to see the crime itself; I want to […]

Here’s a starting point. For the past year I have been trying to dive deeper into science fiction and/or dystopian books. I have only dabbled previously.
