Notes on an Execution by Danya Kukafka - what a fabulous experience reading this was! Must try for literary fiction fans. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Family Chao by Lan Samantha Chang. A modernised rendition of the classic 'The Brothers Karamazov'. I didn't find it working well for the contemporary audience. Plus, this retelling has too many stereotypes. Disappointing.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Completed "How to Find Your Way Home" by Katy Regan. A slowburn lit fic that focusses on sibling relationships. Will work well for those who like stories revolving around human emotions and interactions.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Completed "Daughter of the Moon Goddess", book one of The Celestial Kingdom Duology by Sue Lynn Tan. A good book for Fantasy lovers, though the writing style left me a bit irritated.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
"My Heart Went Walking" by Sally Hanan - an Irish fiction. Pretty good for a debut novel.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
"The Marriage Secret" by Carey Baldwin - a pretty decent domestic thriller. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
"Sparrow" by Brian Kindall - a pretty good indie middle-grade fiction, though it goes quite dark at times.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
"The Orphan in the Peacock Shawl" by AnneMarie Brear - A fairly interesting historical fiction but the title and the blurb reveal too much. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Never knew about the turpentine camps of post-depression era US until I read "The Saints of Swallow Hill" by Donna Everhart. An enlightening read, though the character development falls a little short. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
"Someone Else's Child" by Alison Ragsdale. An ARC which most readers loved but left me irritated with the main character. :/https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Looking for a slightly offbeat yet typical romcom? Try "Josh and Gemma Make a Baby" by Sarah Ready.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Completed "A Day Like This" by Kelley McNeil. A mixed bag, but for a debut novel, it is quite a good attempt. 3.5 stars.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Completed an interesting historical story about the infamous Magdalen laundries of Ireland. "Stolen from her Mother" by Rachel Wesson. Quite an emotional book, which works well despite some writing flaws. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Complete "The Maid" by Nita Prose. What a delightful book! Heartily recommended. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Completed "The Last House on the Street" by Diane Chamberlain. A book with much potential but it doesn't quite come together as a cohesive story. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Historical fiction fans might enjoy "The German Wife" by Debbie Rix. The title is quite meh but the story is pretty interesting. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
A minor rant for "The Lucky Ones" by Kiersten Modglin. I just didn't care for it.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Completed "The Little Shop of Hidden Treasures" by Holly Hepburn. a book as gorgeous as its title and cover indicate.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Done with "Parting the Veil" by Paulette Kennedy. A debut work that tries too hard to succeed. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
You can wait a few days and see. Sometimes, if the publishing date is in the distant future, the book isn't available on GR. Alternatively, you can add the book yourself using the correct details from the NetGalley and Amazon pages. This can be done only on the desktop site and not through the app.
