Nancy's Bookshelf: 2022 Retrospective with Chico ER columnist Dan Barnett

Nancy and Chico Enterprise-Record columnist Dan Barnett look back at books by local writers of the past year.

Dan has been writing his Biblio File column for over 30 years.

Some of the writers mentioned were historian Michele Shover and her book about the Chapmans of Chico; David Bruhn’s “Toe the Mark” about Chico high school runners in the 1970s; Bruce Yerman’s “The Victory Lap,” a tribute to his father Jack who won an Olympic gold medal; Butte College history instructor Dillon Carroll’s book “Invisible Wounds” about mental illness and Civil War soldiers; and Mike Paull’s second in The Missing Series, a mystery thriller “She’s Missing.”
