10. The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau by Kristin Hamel
A dual timeline story between occupied Paris in the 1940’s and Boston in 2018. A story of a woman who was a lifelong jewel thief, a missing bracelet and ramifications from the war. Very good.

21/70 “Encounters with Unexpected Animals,” by Bret Anthony Johnston 3.5/5

I’m not really a fan of short stories, but this was published this year, and for the challenge I needed to read one. These were all set in TX, and the one I liked most was about the wild horses.

12/35 Lady Tremaine by Rachel Hochhauser

A reimagining of Cinderella focusing mainly on the stepmother, Lady Tremaine. Completely unexpected and not at all what I thought it was going to be, I really enjoyed it.

22/70. “Code Blue” by Fern Michaels. I wanted an easy read, and this was a new book. Pretty far fetched..3.5/5
