I'm really good about reading, just got great about blogging about it! All of these 16 books were great, with one exception, "How to Pronounce Knife", which just wasn't my cup of tea.

This miserable year ended great, reading-wise. I found a "new to me" author, Jussi Adler-Olsen. He writes a Danish detective series. The two books I read were outstanding and I've ordered the rest of the series. Expect to hear me rave about the series in 2021.
Two of these books are must-reads, Shuggie Bain and The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World. Be sure to put them on your reading list. Suggie Bain won the Booker Prize. Frequently I'm not impressed with the winners, but this time I whole-heartedly agree.
I also really enjoyed Winter Counts and Dogs of Winter. Winter Counts is about modern Native American life and Dogs of Winter is about the California surf culture. Both good reads.
