So I went to the best source of all knowledge, Facebook and asked all my friends! Wow, you all amazed me, thank you, thank you! I am now equipped with reading material for the next 12 months and more. Some I'll buy and some I'll look for at the library. One person keep a list on Pinterest to share, great idea and many suggested www.goodreads.com
So I promised the list to everyone and they are not in any particular order. If you've read the books listed, then look for others by the same author! At the bottom of the list are authors that are recommended by other but not any particular books. I've not vetted them or checked spelling and I didn't look up the authors for books if they weren't provided (I know, I'm not very helpful, sorry!)
Let me know what you think! Enjoy!

Thank you for compiling this list. I am always looking for new titles and authors. If you like mysteries/thrillers (without lots of sex) anything by Alex Kava. She has a series with FBI profiler Maggie O'Dell..... Start with A Perfect Evil. Prepare to stay up late; you won't be able to put it down. She has a new series about a dog handler, Ryder Creed, who trains dogs for search and rescue and recovery which is also excellent. Happy reading in 2016.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the list, it was fun compiling it and hearing what interests others. I have lots to look forward to!
Thanks Susan. That list should last me for many years. Happy reading.
