Check out the lates one on the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman. For more recommendations, be sure to check out my column, Whatcha Readin’?, in The Sanders County Ledger.

High Plains Book Award Reader!
The High Plains International Book Award is a prestigious award honoring books published in the previous year about the high plains area from USA to Canada. Volunteer readers determine which books become finalists and judges then determine which finalists win each award. There are several categories and it’s all very exciting! I’m reading now and winners will be announced in June.
