There are my three books ,what you think ?
Glad you decided to join in on this challenge! It is by far my favorite challenge of the year!
Yes a very good challenge ,look forward to your reviews all the best stu
Indridason is tops on my list whenever people want to try Scandinavian crime fiction, even if they haven’t read Larsson or Mankell. Good luck with the challenge.
My first from him but have heard good things about his books ,all the best stu
I’ll be looking forward to your reviews, particularly for the first and third books.
Yes they both look great ,all best stu
All three books look really good. I have all ready seen a bunch of reviews of Jackson’s books and she seems to be going over well!
thanks for first comment Kailana ,yes Jackson does seem popular always here people talking about the lottery ,all the best stu
Good choices, Stu. I’m really curious to hear about them all. I love books like this.
thanks boof ,all the best stu
The only one I’ve heard of is Shirley Jackson. I keep thinking “The Haunting of Hill House” would be perfect for RIP, but never have a copy on hand. I should just buy it soon and save it for next year — I’ve already picked out my RIP reads but haven’t even started any. Better late than never and I hope you have fun — looking forward to your thoughts on the other books, too.
thanks valerie ,look forward to reading your reviews for your choices ,all the best stu
