Word: Strange
Book: The Perfect Stranger by Megan Miranda
A perfectly twisty trip down memory lane for the main character, and nothing is as it seems. My review:

Challenge Complete
Word: Bright
Title: Long Bright River by Liz Moore
A dark, atmospheric novel of the opioid crisis and its destructive impact on all levels of America--the individual, families, law enforcement, cities. Police officer Mickey's search for her missing sister provides the mystery that propels the plot, but this is more than a crime novel. It's an insightful look into character, family, and addiction.

Challenge complete.
Word: Out
Book: Without a Trace by Carolyn Keene

I'm going to give this book a 3 star rating. It was an ok book. I love Nancy Drew--always have, probably always will. This wasn't one of the original Nancy Drew books. I'm not sure what the issue was, it's just wasn't the same though.

One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way by Robert Maurer PHD

I liked this. It was a half book in the cozy mystery Annabelle Archer series which I will be reading again.

I listened to the audio of Remarkably Bright Creatures. 5 Star read for me!
