I'm a sucker for these retelling of Greek myths and this one was great. The reimagining of the tale of Theseus and the Minotaur.

Fevre Dream, by George RR Martin

I've never read anything by George RR Martin but I've sometimes considered starting Game of Thrones. Not a huge fantasy fan and I feel like I missed the period to watch the HBO series.
But Fevre Dream was a book recommended by several on Reddit and I agree -- this was a great book.

Another Reddit recommendation, this was an outstanding book. Maybe it hits harder if you are GenX like me and lived through this period of satanic-panic in the 80s. A really enjoyable read.

Decent Reacher novel. I've read them all in print but felt like an easy audiobook and gave this a try. Prefer the print for Reacher, but the audiobook was good too.

This book war *TERRIBLE* but to be fair I'm probably not the target audience. Guessing this is a YA novel. Saw the recommendation on Reddit. Did not like this at all.

Second book in the Mitch Rapp series. Pretty good, but I've either read this before and forgot to add it to this site, or the plot is so common that I've seen similar events in other books. Still, enjoyed it.

I like SGJ generally, but this was on another level. A fantastic book that I was hooked into right at the start. Also really enjoy his acknowledgements (read by the author) as the end. Maybe ridiculous, but it is very fun to hear your (my) own book and movie preferences validated by someone you like/respect.
