For the month of October I wanted to read suspense, thriller  and mystery books.  It just seemed appropriate for the Halloween season.  It was a fairly good reading monty with some books I loved and one that I could not finish.  Let's get started.

Well, it is another month.  The month of November.  I have watched on YouTube where many are designating November as Non-Fiction November.  I decided to do that with my reading list for this month. Here are the books I have selected based on reviews I have read.  Let's get started.
