The Killer Across the Table: Unlocking the Secrets of Serial Killers and Predators with the FBI’s Original Mindhunter by John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker
This is a new book from the men who wrote Mindhunter, which inspired the Netflix show. If you’re into true crime, this is the book to check out this month.
Every Tool’s a Hammer: Life Is What You Make It by Adam Savage
If you’ve ever watched Mythbusters, you probably know who Adam Savage is and you’ll probably enjoy this book.
Becoming Dr. Seuss: Theodor Geisel and the Making of an American Imagination by Brian Jay Jones
Dr. Seuss found a place in many children’s early reading habits. This book dives into the author’s life and sounds like quite an intriguing read.

KD: Kevin Durant’s Relentless Pursuit to Be the Greatest by Marcus Thompson
As a basketball fan, I love finding out about new basketball books, even if they aren’t about my beloved Los Angeles Lakers. Thompson is a wonderful writer and I think all basketball fans can find something worthwhile in his writing, regardless of who it’s about.
Surprise, Kill, Vanish: The Secret History of CIA Paramilitary Armies, Operators, and Assassins by Annie Jacobsen
I find the CIA to be an interesting subject to read about. However, I’ve mostly only read articles about them. Or about how comic book writer, Tom King, was in the CIA before changing careers. This is absolutely going on my to-read list.
Inside Family Guy: An Illustrated History by Frazier Moore
Family Guy is a pretty popular show, so it’s safe to think that some fans would have an interest in this. I’ve been enjoying books that dive into the animation behind movies and TV shows, so this fits right in.
The Night Window by Dean Koontz
This is the fourth book in the Jane Hawk series, so only check it out if you’ve read the others. It’ll be interesting to see how Koontz continues to tell this FBI driven story.

Cari Mora by Thomas Harris
I know Harris for his Hannibal novels, so I was delighted to see this pop up as an upcoming release. Twenty-five million dollars is on the line in this one and it sounds exciting.
Bitcoin Billionaires: A True Story of Genius, Betrayal, and Redemption by Ben Mezrich
I love a good book that tackles some of the technology topics that I’m not super familiar with. I’ve read about bitcoin here and there, so I only know the vague details of who was in on the ground floor. Knowing now that the Winklevoss twins were some of the first bitcoin billionaires, I’m even more interested.

Tom Clancy’s Op-Center: Sting of the Wasp by Jeff Rovin
Tomy Clancy might not be around, but what he built lives on. The Op-Center novels have been written by multiple authors and this one is in print for the very first time.
One More Lie by Amy Lloyd
One More Lie is the second novel from Amy Lloyd and if you like thrillers, this is one that sounds like it’ll take you on a wild ride.
