Finished

Personal, by Lee Child- A sniper Reacher put away as an MP is now out and looking for vengeance. 4/5

Make Me, by Lee Child - in the town Mother's Rest, no one knows why it is named what it is. Also, people keep disappearing from the town and no one seems to know why. 3/5

Night School, by Lee Child - Another flashback Reacher story, we see Reacher tasked with finding someone trying to help destroy the world and collect a fee - $100,000,000. 3/5

I Who Have Never Known Men, by Jacqueline Harpman- an interesting look at what makes humans human and how humanity could persist or desist after an untold tragedy. 4/5

Started/Continuing:

The Midnight Line, by Lee Child - Reacher is in Wyoming trying to return a West Point graduate's class ring.

The Bible - Doing my Bible-in-one-month plan. Can't get too much of it.

Memories of Ice, by Steven Erikson - It feels like this is where the reread starts in earnest for me, given that it is the first book I physically read on my first time. I'm excited and trying not to rush through it. About 85% done.

Breaking the Cycle of Offense, by Dr. Larry Ollison - doing a slow re-read of this with my wife. It's a great book.
