#2 Judge & Jury by James Patterson

#3 Alex Cross's Trial

#4 The Three Dog Life by Abigail Thomas

#5 Room by Emma Donoghue Wow! What a book! Very well written.

#6 Ghosty Men by Franz Lidz

Very interesting.

#7 Darkest Fear by Harlen Coben

#8 Her Last Death by Susanna Sonnenberg

#9 A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

This was an amazing book. So well writen.

#10 Play Dead by Harlen Coben

His 1st book. It was ok, not great. His writing style has improved immensly.

#11 Live To Tell by Lisa Gardner

#12 Oogy by Larry Levin
Fantastic book. Heartwarming story. I loved it!

#13 The Girls From Ames
#14 When She Flew by Jennie Shortridge
#15 No One You Know by Michelle Richmond

#16 Blind Hope by Kim Meeder
This is a Christian book. I do not generally read this type of book. However, there were some really good messages in it.

#17 Bones by Jonathan Kellerman
#18 Stanley & Sophie by Kate Jennings

Stanley & Sophie was not what I expected. I expected a good dog story. However, this was a book that was more about adjusting to loss. It also takes an unexpected sideways look at monkeys and their plight in other countries.

#19 The 10th Anniversary by James Patterson

#20 A Perfect Summer by Luanne Rice

#21 Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson

This was an incredible look at the way the Japanese were treated after Pearl Harbor and the lasting effect of that attitude.

#22 The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

#23 Buried Prey by John Sanders Loved it!
#24 The Autobiography of an Execution by David Dow

#25 Breaking Night by Liz Murray
Incredible story. Very inspirational. Liz Murray survived her childhood against all odds and then went on to be highly successful. A testiment to what is possible when we set our minds to it.

#26 Trouble by Kate Christensen

#27 The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom

Fantastic book! Very well written.

#28 Russian Winter by Daphne Kalotay
#29 My Name is Mary Sutter by Robin Oliveira

#30 The Postcard Killers by James Patterson
I'm reading a bunch of Patterson this year. Must be the time to read him! This was entertaining. Another typical Patterson.

#31 Rough Country by John Sandford

#32 Now You See Her by James Patterson

#33 Unlikely Friendships by Jennifer Holland

#34 A Big Little Life by Dean Koontz

A very sweet memoir about his dog, Trixie. Also some comments about some of the books he has written.

#35 Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda
Loved this book! Read it in 1 day! Really great story, wonderful characters. Predictable ending but I loved it anyway!
