Instead of showing the post most liked or sharing my memories of 2017, I decided to post the list of books I read during the year.
Here´s my summary. Only a few books. Some of them assignments from The Big Thrill, but managed to include a couple of classics.
The Marsh King’s Daughter by Karen Dionne
Ruler of the Night by David Morrell
Oath of Honor by Mattew Benley
Say Nothing by Brad Parks
Doctor No by Ian Fleming
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Full Wolf Moon by Lincoln Child
The Spy Across the Table by Barry Lancet
The Hounds of Baskerville by Arthur Conan Doyle
Hunger Moon by Alexandra Sokoloff
Capital Gaines by Chip Gaines
The Secrets of Chicory Lane by Raymond Benson
Carnaval de Piedras by Juan Funes
Who Moved my cheese? By Spencer Johnson MD
Direct Fire by Anthony J. Tata
Operator Down by Brad Taylor
Glass Town by Steven Savile
I must add a debt of gratitude to NetGalley for granting me access to some of those books.
