I finished the year with a flourish reading eleven books in December including some that have been on my bookshelves or my NetGalley shelf for way too long. I found something to enjoy in all the books I read but there were a few that stood out. Links from each title will take you to my review. You can find a list of all the books I read in 2020 here. If we’re not already friends on Goodreads, send me a friend request or follow my reviews.
The Diabolical Bones by Bella Ellis – the Brontë sisters turn detective in the second in this historical mystery series
A Time For Swords by Matthew Harffy – the first in a new action-packed series set in the Viking age
The Running Wolf by Helen Steadman – mystery set at the end of the 17th century about the sword makers of Shotley Bridge
The Smallest Man by Frances Quinn – inspired by the true story of Jeffrey Hudson, court dwarf to Queen Henrietta Maria, wife of King Charles I
Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult – a compelling story exploring the issue of racial discrimination which still feels incredibly timely

Ooo…adding these to my to-read pile! The running Wolf looks great! All of them do really. Great post. Yeah, I’ve got a lot sitting in my NetGalley Shelf I’m working. My back list is embarrassing. Haha!
