Great list! I also loved The Great Alone…I haven’t done my wrap-up yet, so I don’t know which one will be my favorite. TGA will definitely be a contender.
I want to read the new Karen White book…and Force of Nature.
Thanks for sharing.

I’m am especially excited for that one. My mom and I were working on our family tree a couple of years ago and discovered that we are related to a couple of the passengers on the Mayflower. So I think this will be a fun read!
