The Repairman Jack books just get better. And there is continuty. I tried to read Brandon Sanderson just not my thing. Just finished the Patricia Highsmith Diaries a tad over 1000 pages. Onto some old school adventure/thriller Desmond Bagley. A few years ago his publisher put out his books as 2 for 1 collections. Probably his most famous book might be Freedom Trap aka The Mackintosh Man (Paul Newman movie).

Black Wind sounds pretty good. I like that time period and setting. Just finished reading IT and now on to Lonesome Dove.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

You are tackling some great books

[@BrianBell7]

I'm legit fired up to read The Tomb as soon as I can get to it... Yep, the family Minton's book rocks. Only 5 chapters in. Can't wait to read WoLaS with you. It'll be magical.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@BrianBell7 super magical!!!!

I'll be tackling To Ride Hell's Chasm myself this year so I'm eager to see what I think of it. I'm also interested in Black Wind so looking forward to what you think of it once you finish!

I read a lot of short books this month, including several one-day reads. The best book I read was Edith Wharton's ghost story collection appropriately titled GHOSTS. I really love reading ghost stories in December and January. Brom's Krampus: The Yule Lord was really good, almost but not quite as good as the other book of his I read this year: Slewfoot. Both of my "accidental books" were amazing. I picked up Boston Jane by Jennifer Holm in a Little Free Library and it ended up being the best Western I read this year. A Lowcountry Christmas by Mary Alice Monroe reminded me so much of an old family Christmas special that I immediately gave it to my mother to read afterward. I picked up the first of David Morrell's Thomas de Quincey Victorian mystery/thrillers, and I'll be getting more. I loved all three of my Christmas presents: The Book of Bill (a Gravity Falls tie-in), Murakami's horror novella Audition, and a copy of Musashi samurai manual: Book of Five Rings. Discovered several good stories in the Advent of Winter collection and every ghost story I read on New Years Eve to New Years Day was amazing, including an Edith Wharton story that wasn't in Ghosts. Best reading month this year, and if Dracula's Child doesn't drop the ending, I will be starting this year with an A+ read.

OHHHHH Ghosts sounds fun! Nothing wrong with enjoying shorter books and I really need to do myself a favor and check out Brom

[@wisestitch3764]

Andrew! How dare you. This new year I was all about not letting book tube derail my reading plans with recommendations. Then you just had to compare The Tomb with Relic. That like hitting me with Kryptonite. 😂. Happy New Year my friend. Keep up all the good work and I'll keep watching and supporting 🎉.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@wisestitch3764 Relic is so good and so is the Tomb! I hope you enjoy my friend! Happy New Year. Your support is always greatly appreciated
