Haven't had a chance to look through these yet, but I am at least a bit familiar with Barry Eisler.

- Family Drama: The Forgotten Hours by Katrin Schumann
- Historical Fiction: The Snow Gypsy by Lindsay Jayne Ashford 
- Mystery: Blood for Blood (Ziba MacKenzie Book 1) by Victoria Selman
- Fantasy: Smoke and Summons (Numina Book 1) by Charlie N. Holmberg 
- Memoir: Rock Needs River: A Memoir About a Very Open Adoption by Vanessa McGrady

    I picked The Snow Gypsy. It is written by the same person  who wrote The women on the Oriental Express and I really liked it.  I thought about Smoke and Summons because it is written by the person who wrote The Paper Magician which I also liked but I think it may become available on kindle unlimited. I haven’t found a book on first reads in mail nags I liked but this month two  :) .

    This month's assortment seems to be all dark or dreary or struggling or something.
    (even the Fantasy choice -- which I'd had hopes for as I enjoyed her Magician books)
    Not even a kid's book to lighten the mood!

    Not that I don't already have plenty in my TBR.
    (back to my space-opera/mil-sci-fi sagas!)

    Identical choice this month for First Reads in the UK.

    There isn't anything that appeals to me but I'm not unhappy about that, I have more than enough to read. Since the choices always seem to follow a similar trend, I can only asume that somebody - a lot of somebodies, are downloading these books, for Amazon to keep serving up the same stuff every month.

    Thanks! I hadn't noticed that. I went for the Historical as my second choice.

    I was so busy scrolling down to see what the books were I entirely missed the Giant Banner at the top about getting *2* books.
    Naturally this is a month that I can't get interested in even one of them, let alone 2 or even 1+ a maybe. :-)

    This is what I did.
    I am still trying to decide if I want a second one.
    Incidentally, The Woman on the Orient Express is on sale for $1.99.

    I went with the mystery and the thriller.

    If we had been limited to only one choice, I probably would've picked The Killer Collective by Barry Eisler.
