Old Babes in the Wood: Stories by Margaret Atwood
An anthology by the acclaimed writer. Pretty good, though I wanted more.

The Grief Nurse by Angie Spoto
A missed opportunity here, because it had plenty of potential. Might work for fantasy lit-fic lovers.

Violet Is Nowhere by Faith Gardner
I had fun with this indie psych thriller.

Completed two middle-grade books, both good enough and with unusual settings.1. The Town with No Mirrors by Christina Collins
A dystopian drama about society's obsession with external appearance.

2. The Curio Collectors by Eloise Williams
An adventure story set in the Victorian period.

The Grace of Wild Things by Heather Fawcett
A middle-grade fantasy retelling of 'Anne of Green Gables'. Quite a lot of fun!

Maame by Jessica George
Great in audio. A good enough story.

The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi
Mainly purple prose under the façade of a fantastical plot. Utterly disappointed.

Stealing by Margaret Verble
Had much potential, but the writing didn't work for me.

What Lies in the Woods by Kate Alice Marshall
An entertaining psychological drama, but with an OTT ending.

In the Time of Our History by Susanne Pari
A literary fiction about a dysfunctional Irani-American family.

Into the Dark Forest by Liz Flanagan
If you have a tween in your life, this is a lovely book to gift to them!

The Moth Keeper by NZ author Kay O'Neill
A worthy new book from the author famed for their Tea Dragon series.

Other Worlds Were Possible by Joss Sheldon
A historical literary fiction. Mixed feelings about this one. Great intent, okay execution. Quite thought-provoking though.

In the Dark by Claire Allan
Pretty good despite the rushed ending.

The Faraway World: Stories by Patricia Engel
If you like literary fiction AND you like short stories, I think you will like this anthology. It is going to be one of my favourite collections of this year.

A Quiet Life by Ethan Joella
An interesting but straightforward read for lovers of character-driven plots.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Amazing Grace Adams by Fran Littlewood
A debut work that tries too hard to be amazing and ends up with messy timelines and messy themes.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
All the Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham
An outlier this time. Found it too slow and rambling. Hardly anything thrilled me about this "thriller".

The Witches of Vardø by Anya Bergman
I had expected this to work far better for me. :(
