Family Family by Laurie Frankel
I've become a fan of this author now, for her topics and for her writing.

The Secret Ingredient by Sue Heath
A good story with great characters. Will work well for a soothing read.

Relit: 16 Latinx Remixes of Classic Stories, edited by Sandra Proudman
Enjoyed this anthology of retellings with a Latinx SFF twist. It's YA, but other than that, it's worth a read. ;)

The House On Sun Street by Mojgan Ghazirad
Quite an interesting OwnVoices Iranian historical fiction. I liked much of it, except for the final quarter.

Poor Deer by Claire Oshetsky
Oshetsky's imagination and descriptive writing are on excellent display in this literary fiction.

This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel
A 2017 release, but luckily, Macmillan made the audio available on NetGalley. Loved this beautiful family drama so much!

First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston
Succumbed to the hype, and found the book match up to a great extent. A fun cat-and-mouse story, though a bit slow-paced to be a true thriller.

Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett
Enjoyed this sequel to the Emily Wilde series. A great read for cosy fantasy fans, but in the right series order.

Happy New Year, everyone!The Leftover Woman by Jean Kwok
Might have worked better for me had it not been marketed as a mystery-thriller and had the plotting been tighter.

Kinfolk by Sean Dietrich
Loved almost everything about this Southern historical fiction.

Inspirational Wink and the Altogether Extraordinary Notebook by Delaney Evers
A fun cosy fantasy adventure with an older protagonist. Quite an enjoyable ride. Still up for request on Netgalley, if anyone wants to give it a try.

The Year of Goodbyes and Hellos by Kelly Irvin
A mixed bag for me, though it has its moments. The main character lowered my reading experience, as did the narrators.

A Different Kind of Gone by Catherine Ryan Hyde
I am an outlier for this one, though CRH's books usually work for me.

Good Girls by Leesa Gazi
A great option for literary fiction lovers. Not a thriller though - don't believe that cover.

The Man I Never Met: A Novel by Elle Cook
Don't fall for that pastel cover. This is a very emotional contemporary drama. Mostly well written. has some triggering health-related content though.

So Late in the Day: Stories of Men and Women by Claire Keegan
I can't recommend this story collection enough to lit fic lovers. Loved it!

Starling House by Alix E. Harrow
Pretty much a mixed read all the way. Had expected far more from this author.

A Midwinter's Tail by Lili Hayward
A good-enough story, while not pathbreaking. Will work well when you are looking for something easy. The setting is amazing.

The Palisades by Gail Lynn Hanson
A debut indie work with great potential but mislabelled as a psychological suspense. Recommending it to lit fic fans.

The Lost Boys of Barlowe Theater by Jaime Jo Wright
Never knew there were Christian thrillers as well. Loved this one!
