2021 was a great year for the Kerrian’s Notebook subscribers to win a book (or two if they also subscribed to Nightstand Book Reviews. Winners were chosen randomly during quarterly drawings, using random.org. The winners were then notified through Facebook and/or the email addresses they had provided. A list of at least ten books was sent to the winners, from which they picked their prize(s). The majority of the books have been (and will continue to be in 2022) mysteries, thrillers, and novels of suspense, in keeping with the Kerrian’s Notebook theme. Many of the books were stay-awake reads, many were bestsellers, some were donated by the authors, and some were passed along to other readers.

“Apollo Murders” by Chris Hadfield- fantastic reimagining of Apollo space shuttle history. ‘What if?’ is explored in a page-turner from real life astronaut Hadfield with an entertaining look at the competition between Russia and the U.S. in the Space Race. Not sure if I could ever go into space after reading this one. Whew!
