like to make recommendations by starting with a favorite book and suggesting
books that read-a-like. Here is what you should read next if you like:

A Texas Ranger, relegated to deskwork due to pastrecklessness, petitions to regain custody of his five-year-old daughter, and
his case is assigned to a family court judge who is as attractive as she is
ambitious. When a masked gunman barges in during the custody hearing with his
sights on the judge, the Ranger reacts instinctually and goes after him. But
authorities apprehend the wrong man, and the real gunman remains unknown, at
large, and a threat. Will this take-charge lawman jeopardize his chances of
custody by going after the would-be assassin? And will this unlikely pair be
able to deny the forbidden attraction building between them?
5. Columbine by Dave
Cullen
Cullen
What really happened April20, 1999? The horror left an indelible stamp on the American psyche, but most
of what we “know” is wrong. It wasn’t about jocks, Goths, or the
Trench Coat Mafia. Dave Cullen was one of the first reporters on scene, and
spent ten years on this book-widely recognized as the definitive account. With
a keen investigative eye and psychological acumen, he draws on mountains of
evidence, insight from the world’s leading forensic psychologists, and the
killers’ own words and drawings-several reproduced in a new appendix. Cullen
paints raw portraits of two polar opposite killers. They contrast starkly with
the flashes of resilience and redemption among the survivors.
These lists are ever changing, just like my
bookshelves. I try to only use books
from my shelves that I have read, so these lists are never complete. If you have suggestions that I haven’t
included, please leave them in the comments.
I’m always open to more additions to the TBR.
