The Last Voyage of Mrs Henry Parker by Joanna Nell after finishing Sibel Hodge's latest winner
Their Last Breath. My spoiler free review can be found at https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... and my webpage https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...
In spite of my decision not to review photo books, I simply had to review this one: John Dersham's Alabama: A Portrait of Our State. It is the bicentennial year of my state. It is silly regional pride.3 stars
My review of The Curious Heart of Ailsa Rae by Stephanie Butland
4 stars

I recommend you introduce yourselves to the Slow Horses of English mystery author Mick Herron's Slough House series. In #6, they are turned loose into Joe Country. Exciting, snowy, scary, funny, and probably all too real.
5★ My review of Joe Country
My review of Where I Come From: Life Lessons from a Latino Chef by Aaron Sanchez:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Just finished a Thomas Burnett Swann which has taken ages as I've been off reading the Shardlake novels - Moondust and reviewed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2959469326
About to start
No Time to Say Goodbye: A heartbreaking and gripping emotional page turner by Kate Hewitt after finishing what was, for me, a disappointing read of
The Forgotten Child by D.E. White. My spoiler free review can be found at https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
IRRESISTIBLE! Mythologica: An Encyclopedia of Gods, Monsters and Mortals from Ancient Greece by Stephen P. Kershaw has the stories and the most fantastic art by Victoria Topping. Check my review for samples. Unbelievable!

I just finished Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident.

My review of The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Finished yestarday Uncle Vanya
by Anton Chekhov.
Liked it quite a lot - how disrupting can a "simple" thing be - but I have to admit that only reading a theatre text is not the same as seeing it on stage!

Read number 2 in the Shardlake series Dark Fire and reviewed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2981055707.
Read Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy and reviewed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2982225433.
Read and enjoyed Girls of Paper and Fire
My 3.5 (4)⭐️ review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Still a 5-star favourite after a re-read is Kate Atkinson’s fourth Jackson Brodie book, Started Early, Took My Dog. He just can’t help helping to make up for past tragedies when he was too young to help.
