Currently Reading: The Lost Fleet: Dauntless by Jack Campbell 📚
Decided to give this series a try based on the recommendation of a friend.

Finished reading: Tripwire by Lee Child 📚
I’m a huge fan of the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child. This book was no different. I loved the story and the characters. I really enjoy the way the author adds suspense to each of his novels. This was my 17th Reacher novel and I haven’t been disappointed in any of them.
