Little Secrets by Anna Snoekstra. I'm not recommending this one yet I suspect some other people will like it. One that people will need to make up their own minds about depending on your taste.Review

Ah ha! You're most welcome. I just breezed through 3 in a month or two. Being greedy, I must slow down!
Finally finished a couple of books that took a while to get through for different reasons:
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was a catch-as-catch-can readaloud to my two oldest daughters for the last couple of months. My third time to read it, and it's of course awesome.Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
It was, well, 1,400 pages in paperback – so long I had to return it back to the library (nonrenewable because there was a line) and wait a couple more months before it got back around to me. My second time to read this one – first time in 20 years or so – and it's still really good and really terrifying, but it also has its flaws that need to be discussed.Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

THAT is an important book.
I had to rewrite my review for An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon. I accidentally deleted my previous review when I was deleting a goodreads list. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My review of The Stowaway: A Young Man’s Extraordinary Adventure to Antarctica by Laurie Gwen Shapiro:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Read another Val McDermid but was even less impressed than with the last one - Trick of the Dark - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2299322215.
A couple of days ago I finished A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini - thought it was brilliant, 5 stars, wish I could give it more. My review
A tiny farting angel in an English school- what's not to love? Very cute, irreverent 'chapter' book for young readers. The Tale of Angelino Brown by David Almond and artist Alex T Smith. 
4.5★ Link to my review (I included a couple of the wonderful illustrations, too.)
I finished listening to the audio of The Alphabet House yesterday. I liked the story and the psychological aspect of it. However, I wasn't drawn into the emotional side of what was happening to James and Bryan. The writing kept me at arm's length.

I've really enjoyed my reading lately, but in particular want to recommend two:The Women of Brewster Place was a big surprise for me. I didn't realize it was such a heavy story (stories), and so beautifully written. Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
and also Dancing at the Edge of the World: Thoughts on Words, Women, Places. Ursula K. Le Guin is on people's minds since her recent death, and although her novels were highly recommended to me, I somehow never got around to them until reading one lesser-known story last year. This book is non-fiction, and just fabulous.

I have completed Where the Rivers Flow North.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I was expecting more. The author has received so many awards. Did I miss something? Or is it simply that short stories / novellas are not my preference?!
