Our library is resuming parking lot pick up on Monday

I'm happy one of the 2 systems I use kept having the hold pickup option throughout. None of your books are familiar to me Dan, what was your favorite of them?

Hey, Dan, what did you think of The Policeman's Daughter?

Nice list Dan and so great your library access has loosened up to parking lot pickup again.
I'm delaying reading the Don Winslow book(s) so tempting, but so loooong and out of practical reach amidst my remote work and reduced audio time.

nice list, dan! good to hear about your library. ours are still closed.

Bonnie, The Cartel (Book 2 of 3) was very good, as was the first book in the trilogy.

Jan, I really enjoy this author and her MC. Housing project and surrounding depressed area ring true in my experience. My first assignment was in the Cabrini-Green project in Chicago. Just change the names to protect the guilty.

Ann, at over 600 pages this one did slow me down.

Sherry, the rules for picking up a book are about as complex as Barry’s job: make an appointment, enter the parking lot from a specific direction, have a large sign with your name, open side passenger window or trunk, do not pass Go or collect $200.

Good month. I’m mostly reading library ebooks.

Thanks, Dan. I read Out of the Blues and was 50/50 on it: liked the characters and setting, but not so much the plotting. Your encouragement tips me to try another.

Sounds like you could squish the books together and make one big book :)

oy! but at least you'll have access because we know that none of us have a huge TBR full of books we haven't read yet... lol

True. Not quite an essential business but still appreciated.

Nice list, Dan. Glad to hear you liked The Policeman's Daughter. I really like this series. I think we're due for another soon.
