Read any good books lately? Along with numerous other writers, I was asked by the Shepherd.com web site to list the three best books I read in the past year. Not necessarily books that were new in the past year, but books read during that period.
For almost 40 years (don’t ask me why) I have kept a list of the books I read. So, finding my three favorites for the year took nothing more than paging back 12 months and going through the list to see which titles jumped out at me. Some surprised me, to be honest. Others almost topped the ones I chose, but not quite. Still, it was not an easy decision. Maybe, on a different day, my choices would be different.

And
don’t hesitate to wander around the Shepherd.com
web site for other lists by other writers on other subjects. (Somewhere on
there is my list of five Western novels about cowboys who really are cowboys,
rather than the usual fare of outlaws, lawmen, gamblers, and the like.)
