Choice 1: The Sentence by Louise Erdrich (female author)
Choice 2: Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie (Agatha Christie is a classic, right?, female author)
Choice 3: Don't Turn Around by Jessica Barry (thriller, female author)

[colls]

These look great! Thank you.
Before twitter collapsed, I followed the author of 'Rest is Resistance' and her commentary on the intersection of racism and capitalism in America has been pretty profound to me.

I didn't do as much variety with yours - instead, I selected one that'd been on your TBR the longest, one more recent, and then I picked Louise Erdrich because I like that author. ;) I hoped that perhaps gives a different sort of variety?

[colls]

I didn't mean to reply to you with my selections for another participant - sorry! (I guess I need my reading glasses for more than reading books?)

[royalblue31]

No worries at all!

[einhornmaedchen]

You're very welcome :)

No worries, I'm sure I will enjoy the ones you picked for me!

[einhornmaedchen]

Thanks! I've been wanting to read the Agatha Christie one for years so I am glad you picked that one :)
