January 2021 First Reads

 January is another two-book month.  Nine to choose from

  1. Suspense - Shadow Box - Luanne Rice
  2. Cont. Fic - Hadley and Grace
  3. Thriller - Not One Of Us
  4. Historical Fiction - West With Giraffes
  5. Espionage Thriller - Water Memory - Daniel Pyne
  6. Literary Fiction - Gerta
  7. Memoir - Widowish
  8. Global Fiction - the Ardent Swarm
  9. Picture book - Sadie Sprocket Builds a Rocket

Scratch the suspense and thrillers off first (plus the library already has them on order). Contemporary fiction doesn't sound that interesting, neither does the memoir.  Ardent Swarm will work for one of the Read Harder prompts, so it's a possible, but the library has it on order too. 

 So, Sadie Sprocket, West with Giraffes, Gerta, and Ardent Swarm.  Library has West and Ardent on order, so Gerta is a definite.   West sounds good, but is long, and that works better in print for me.  Ardent has some iffy reviews, but I got it anyway.
