<p>Speaking of Baldacci, I am reading his <em>One Good Deed</em>. It is a bit different, but very good. Of course, it is one on his "standalones" and when you think about it, they all are "a bit different."</p>

<p>I am currently reading <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Outfoxed</span></strong> by Rosenfelt. He's my favorite light humor mystery author. I have one of his non-dog books in my bag to try next. Are they as good as the Andy Carpenter series?</p>

<p>I am currently reading a book I suppose would fall into the broad Science Fiction category called <em>Recursion</em> by Blake Crouch.I haven't read anything in that genre for a long time. A scientist finds a way to recapture old memories and even go back in time to relive your life in a way you would have preferred. A couple examples of sentences will probably discourage anyone else from reading it. "Our cognitions---our idea of reality---are shaped by what we can perceive, by the limitations of our senses." And. "Every moment is equally real and happening now, but the nature of our consciousness only gives us access to one slice at a time." I'll finish it, but not without scanning some paragraphs very briefly.</p>
<p>But I have read some very good ones during the past few months, including <em>Run Away</em> by Harlen Coben, <em>The Fallen</em> by David Baldacci and my favorite of the year so far, <em>The Shadows We Hide</em> by Allen Eskens. I have on hold at my library and am waiting patiently (perhaps not so patiently) for <em>This Tender Land</em> by William Kent Krueger.It has received excellent reviews and was one of the novels nominated as best of 2019 by a Minnesota writer.</p>
