Life with Kelso

I am the type of reader who only likes or reads a certain genre or types of books. That would be anything that is a psychological thriller, mystery or crime novel.

As much as I try to stray from my usual genre, I just can’t seem to find another genre that interests me as much as thrillers or mysteries.

My favorite books are the ones that have you thinking you know “who dunnit”, then you get to the end of the book and PLOT TWIST – it was granny with her rolling pin all along, killing off her competitors one-by-one, for the Baking Title Champion at the State Fair.

Below are some of my favorite books I have read and that I recommend:
