This challenge was challenging this year! My public library, and probably yours, was closed for several months due to the coronavirus shutdown. I was lucky that I did not have to pay any fines on those books I had borrowed before the shutdown that were due to be returned after the shutdown began. When I signed up for the challenge a year ago, I selected the Thrifty Reader Level which required me to read 24 books from the library. I managed to surpass that challenge and took 36 books out of the library to read and review.
Here is what I read:
The Other Woman by Daniel Silva
The Crow's Call by Wanda Brusnstetter
Opium and Absinthe by Lydia Kang
The Night Tiger by Yangtse Choo
Singapore Sapphire by A. M. Stuart
