The Fishermen by Chigozie Obioma.

This one sucked me in quickly.

The Truth by Terry Pratchett.

The Blind Owl by Sadegh Hedayat.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts One and Two by John Tiffany.

The Blue Sky by Galsan Tschinag.

Excited to read this one. I requested it in December?!?

The Book of My Lives by Aleksandar Hemon.

Scale-Bright by Benjanun Sriduangkaew.

The Noodle Maker by Ma Jian.

Radiance of Tomorrow by Ishmael Beah.

Blindness by José Saramago.

The Exiled by Kati Hiekkapelto.

Signs Preceding the End of the World by Yuri Herrera.

Other People's Worlds by William Trevor.

Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett. I seem to not be trying very hard to finish Discworld, but I will get there.

Buried in the depths of the electronic resources is something called Novelist K-8 Plus and Novelist Plus. One is for younger readers and one is for us adults, unless you're like me and read some kids books too.

So click on the Explore menu, then on the right there is a See Also option underneath Digitall Services. You'll find the Novelist links way down. There's a lot of stuff and this is a useful thing that is pretty hidden.

Anyway, it lets you select some options and find books which is good, but what I found really great is I could type in the search something like "Ghana" and then click the Authors tab and get some ideas for authors that have either writeen about Ghana or, more importantly, were born in Ghana that the library actually has!

Where The Winds Dwell by Böðvar Guðmundsson

Looking forward to this one as it will finish one of my challenges for this year.

Map of the Invisible World by Tash Aw
