For no particular reason, I had The Rooster Bar by John Grisham on my TBR and started reading it this week. I don't normally go for "airport books," but this one is a ton of fun. Now I remember why I read over a dozen of Grisham's books in the 90s and early 2000s. It's been a while since I picked him up... almost a couple decades, but I'm glad I did again.

FTR, The Rooster Bar has nothing to do with chickens. 😉

First read of the year finished, and also the first new (as in published in 2023) book I've read in a couple of years.

#TheExchange, by #JohnGrisham.

Got it because I'm a fan of #TheFirm (both book & movie). An entertaining read, full of suspense, though it felt more like a spy #thriller rather than a legal thriller, to be honest.

The biggest problem: it didn't need to be a sequel to The Firm. Mitch did very little, and it barely used his considerable cunning.

Looking for #book recommendations on CD for my dad to listen to (his eyesight isn't good enough to read books anymore). He likes stuff like #JohnGrisham but he's already read them so many times. Courtroom, crime #thrillers and #western s are good, no fantasy please. He was listening to a western called "the tracker" but he just said he's tired of it because it's too episodic, there isn't really a singular plot building up throughout the book. Thanks!
