This episode has the 10 books I finished this month. I'm having the episode come out on the 31st because I do not anticipate I will finish another book by the end of the month. It was a great month in general for my reading.  I had varied genres: memoirs, dystopian sci-fi/fantasy, self-help, literary fiction, women's fiction, crime drama, psychological thriller. I'm hopeful that I can continue to vary my reading in the upcoming months.

The Fields by Erin Young (comes out Jan 25th, 2022) is a breakneck police procedural set in the Iowa Corn Belt and centers around a murder of a woman found in a cornfield, one whose implications extend far beyond the Midwest. But perhaps the most surprising twist of this story is off the page. Erin Young, the author isn't an Iowan or a tried and true Midwesterner, as one would expect, but rather an accomplished British historical novelist from Brighton, who under another pen name is a perennial Sunday Times bestselling author. She's been published in 9 languages and 22 countries, selling two million books worldwide.

Of all the books I read in 2021, these made the cut.  There are books out there that are great.  It's subjective. I looked at the ones I finished and did some order juggling.  Hope you enjoy this episode.  What's on my 2021 favorite list?

SPOILER ALERT.  This book is non-fiction and the researcher follows the women and transgender in the red light district of Lahore. Our conversation goes all over the place.  When we talk prostitution and patriarchy, it was lively.
