pickI love Don Winslow. His previous works (“The Cartel,” “The Power of the Dog,” etc)? Masterpieces. This series, his last because he has retired from writing fiction, feels like he‘s kind of phoning it in with the plot and the narrative. This one is a soft pick because there are still flashes of the Winslow brilliance throughout. And I‘ll read the final book when it‘s released next year. Because, well, Don Winslow. 🤷🏻♀️
pickI don‘t read much in this genre (gritty mafia crime fiction, I guess?), but I just love Don Winslow‘s writing. Over-the-top and pageturner-y, but also full of characters that I quickly care about, no matter their (always many) questionable choices. That Winslow‘s a local author for me brings bonus joy, as do the local settings in this book. Sad for us but happy for him that he‘s retiring, and I‘ll savor the anticipation of Book 3 coming next year.

Don Winslow in my mailbox! I received my signed copy of City of Dreams from The Poisoned Pen, an independent bookseller, in Scottsdale, Arizona. This is the second installment to Winslow‘s latest trilogy; the first book is City on Fire. More images on my blog https://abookandadog.com
pickWow, just wow. The continuing saga of Danny Ryan, trying to leave his Rhode Island mob ties behind on a trip to CA. Trying to stay clean on the straight and narrow of legitimate lifestyles. Of course, sometimes things tend to catch up with him. 5⭐️
Unexpected bookmail of an ARC from a fave (local) author feels like an excellent First Day of Spring Break present! 📚🎁 (Thanks, #GoodreadsGiveaways !)
