What is more exciting than reading about a heist?

Recommendations:

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein
Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo
Artemis by Andy Weir

Nikki (mnnikki) | 164 comments This looks like a good list of more ideas! https://www.pamelaqfernandes.com/best...

I think I'm going to check out The Anderson Tapes by Lawrence Sanders because this sounds interesting: the entire story is told in surveillance-tape transcripts and reports from law-enforcement agencies.

UPDATE: I read The Anderson Tapes and didn't love it. The format is interesting but I found it hard to follow and pretty boring.

Erin (thegigglingwillow) Julieta and the Diamond Enigma by Luisana Duarte Armendariz ✔

(Lots of MG this year, I guess!)

I'm counting Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky for this one, since I have way too many portal fantasies.

I have this sitting on my shelf. I had no idea it had a heist in it. Yay!

Have you read the book, Leslie? It's the beginning of a series called "League of Pensioners."

I had not read it at the time you recommended it, but I have since. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I just love stories about older people doing things! I didn't realize it's the beginning of a series. I'll have to hunt the next book up.
