Small Hours by Bobby Palmer

Not as fabulous as his debut novel, but still a wonderful read. Great for literary fiction and magical realism readers.

The Shadow Key by Susan Stokes-Chapman

A mixed bag for me. The atmosphere is great, but the characters and the infodump endings somewhat ruined the overall satisfaction. this book is currently available to request on Netgalley, though I read it from another source.

The Great Divide by Cristina Henríquez

A novel not about the Panama Canal, but set during the construction of the canal. If you love character-oriented fiction, this is a great option to try.

Our Daughter, Who Art in America by Mukana Press

An interesting anthology for those who would enjoy short stories infused with African culture.

They had put up an update saying that there has been some problem with the Goodreads API and they are working on it. But it might not be resolved soon since the problem is from the Goodreads' side.

Frank and Red by Matt Coyne

One of the sweetest stories I have ever read. The titular characters are the best!

The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown

I loved this magical fantasy-thriller so much! Way more than most of my friends did! It's always fun to be an outlier on the positive side. :D

I quite enjoyed that one! :)

A Kind of Madness by Uché Okonkwo

The first great short story collection of the year. Loved this amazing Nigerian work.

The Underground Library by Jennifer Ryan

An interesting historical fiction set in the Bethnal Green library during WWII.

The Attic Child by Lola Jaye

Enjoyed this amazing dual-timeline story. It taught me many new things.

The Other Side of Night by Adam Hamdy

Didn't expect to enjoy this book so much! It's not for all, but if you are the right kind of reader, it ought to work well.

The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections by Eva Jurczyk

The disappointment is always greater when a book about books fails to deliver.

The Memory Library by Kate Storey

Works exactly as expected, which is both good and boring.

Language of Love - A Flirty, Festive Anthology by various authors.

A mixed bag for me, though this is mainly due to my romance reading preferences.

A Lady's Guide to Marvels and Misadventure by Angela Bell

An entertaining historical romance-adventure. Faith-oriented, especially in the final section, so except if you have a problem with that, I see now reason why you shouldn't read this amazing debut. :)

One More Mountain by Deborah Ellis

The fifth book of the acclaimed Breadwinner series, a set of MG books talking of a little girl in Afghanistan. An eye-opening story, but best read in series order.

She's a Killer by Kirsten McDougall

A wacky cli-fi satire set in dystopian NZ. Not for everyone, but if you like dark humour, you'll possibly enjoy this.

Little Witness by S.A. Dunphy

An Irish police procedural initialising what promises to be an interesting series around children caught in the aftermath of adult crimes.
