"The Writing Retreat" by Julia Bartz
The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz is wild in a good way. Alex wants to be a published author and winning a writing retreat would go a long way to doing that. However, all is not right at the estate of horror writer Roza Vallo, where she has to be to win a big contract. Soon Alex will have more than just writing a book to worry about. A good storyline with twists and turns make this book very good! This is the one I read when on jury duty. I'm glad I had a good book to read! (Gerard's review, 5 stars)

"The Puzzle Master" by Danielle Trussoni
In The Puzzle Master by Danielle Trussoni, Mike Brink, because of a football head injury, can solve puzzles at an alarming rate. Jess Prell is in prison and she has a secret no one has been able to solve. Mike is asked to try. For the most part, this book was good; however, the last quarter it seemed that the author did not know how to end it. Due to that, I give it 4 stars. It was not as good as I expected.

"The Wager ( A tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder) by David Grann
I always enjoy non-fiction books about historical events. The Wager by David Grann is one of those! It tells the story of men who were on a secret mission at sea and survived being marooned and winding up on a deserted island where they just about starved to death. Six months after they came back, three men came home on a makeshift raft and told a different tale. This was good stuff that I enjoyed reading! (Gerard's review, 5 stars)

"West With Giraffes" by Lynda Rutledge
West With Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge is based on true story how two giraffes went on a 12-day road trip to the San Diego zoo just as World War II was about to start. An old man tells the story, and what a story it is! I enjoyed this because it has a good storyline and some good fiction with a good ending. This was recommended to me by a friend from pickleball.
