Off to a good start to the year! Had some really great picks and some that were just okay. I was most excited to read American Predator and I was not disappointed! 1st to Die has been on my TBR list for so long and I am so happy that I finally got around to reading it. This series has instantly become one of my favorites.

I am very thankful for Lyrical Underground, Viking Books, and Danelle Nelson for proving me with some of these good reads!
