Of these I have read two in the Best Novel category----THE
END OF EVERYTHING by Megan Abbott and THE DROP by Michael Connelly. Two very
different books in every way possible. So much so that, in my opinion, they don’t
remotely belong in the same category going up against each other.
I have in my TBR pile HURT MACHINE by Reed Coleman. I have heard
that cancer is a major part of the book and quite frankly, with what we have just
been through here the last eight months, reading a novel with cancer in it is
not something I can handle right now.
