I enjoy reading quite a bit. Nevertheless, it's something I need to be
|
||
|
|
intentional about incorporating into my life. I usually to finish a modest
|
||
|
|
number of books in a year. Here's my list.

|
|
: Mesa's debut novel is set in 1920s Kansas City and centers around Rose, the
|
||
|
|
daughter of Mexican immigrants who takes on the city's mob bosses with the help

of friends and some witchy magical powers. This was a gift from my sister

My friend Jess recommended the [Murderbot Diaries][murderbot] to me a while back
|
||
|
|
and I finally got around to [All Systems Red][murderbot1] last year. I was
|
||
|
|
hooked enough that {{< tess >}} bought me the subsequent three for Christmas
|
||
|
|
last year. So you're gonna see almost all the Murderbot books on this list.
