Thunderstruck is in my list this year. I loved In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin but haven't read The Devil in the White City yet. I may have to read that one this year also!

I REALLY enjoyed it. I do have a love of the macabre...and this fuels that for sure. I will be in Chicago this summer visiting friends with the kids and we are planning to do a Devil in the White City tour....I love the fascinating details of the World's Fair and how it was built from the people involved....
GREAT BOOK.

I'll have to read those soon! I've mostly been listening to books this year, but I really want to start doing more reading again.
Congratulations!
I only made it halfway through my list this year. (Though I also finished 2016...) I've had a hard time finishing these lists the last few years.
