This episode has the 10 books I finished this month. I'm having the episode come out on the 31st because I do not anticipate I will finish another book by the end of the month. It was a great month in general for my reading.  I had varied genres: memoirs, dystopian sci-fi/fantasy, self-help, literary fiction, women's fiction, crime drama, psychological thriller. I'm hopeful that I can continue to vary my reading in the upcoming months.

The Fields by Erin Young (comes out Jan 25th, 2022) is a breakneck police procedural set in the Iowa Corn Belt and centers around a murder of a woman found in a cornfield, one whose implications extend far beyond the Midwest. But perhaps the most surprising twist of this story is off the page. Erin Young, the author isn't an Iowan or a tried and true Midwesterner, as one would expect, but rather an accomplished British historical novelist from Brighton, who under another pen name is a perennial Sunday Times bestselling author. She's been published in 9 languages and 22 countries, selling two million books worldwide.
