The Lincoln Highway

Just finished #TheLincolnHighway by @amortowles. It’s wonderful. It’s the second book I’ve read recently that reminded me to appreciate and be grateful for the simpler things in my life. The other is #CloudCuckooLand by @DoerrTorresal. Both perfect to read during the holidays.

City on Fire
Don Winslow
Oh man, #CityOnFire.@donwinslow’s a political hero to be sure. But he’s also as fine a crime writer as there’s ever been. He says the trilogy that begins with ‘City On Fire’ are his last books. If that’s true, he’s definitely going out in a blaze of glory. It’s great.
