PattyMacDotComma Just enjoyed Jo Spain's entertaining mystery about a murder and a gated neighbourhood of suspects, all with Dirty Little Secrets. A good read!

PattyMacDotComma Daytona to Dakar! This is one that car racing fans will buy for their kids because they really want it for themselves. : )
Fast Forward by Adam Skinner covers major tracks, drivers, cars, and even incidents around the world.

PattyMacDotComma A good read! The Wife by Alafair Burke is a whodunnit where The Wife is caught between loyalty and the need for secrecy as her husband's life unravels.

PattyMacDotComma I just loved these early adventures of the exuberant child (who grew up to become the dashing Sir Robert Carey in his mystery series) in a couple of wonderful introductory works (free!) by P.F. Chisholm aka Patricia Finney.
A Pest of a Boy and A Boy in Trouble.

PattyMacDotComma Beautiful! More than a picture book, it's a poignant story of a little girl in wartime. Captain Rosalie by Timothée de Fombelle and Isabelle Arsenault (illustrator) is out in June and still available on NetGalley.

PattyMacDotComma If you have not yet read Night, the 60-year old autobiographical account of Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel's time in Auschwitz (followed by a lifetime of teaching and the Nobel Peace Prize), it's time.

Ignorance and silence are still responsible for killing people.

PattyMacDotComma David Bowie. Whether this makes you think of Major Tom or Ziggy Stardust, you've got to admit he was an artist like no other. Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara's colourful addition to the "little people BIG DREAMS" series will introduce him to kids today. (And she explains his eyes.)

PattyMacDotComma If only the world would learn the lessons of the late Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor and renowned teacher and peace activist. Ariel Burger was his student and friend, now a teacher himself. His Witness: Lessons from Elie Wiesel's Classroom is a must-read.

PattyMacDotComma Coffin Road is a pretty grim address, but in this case, it's the only starting point a man with amnesia has in the mystery by Peter May. Outer Hebrides, Scotland! Storms, lighthouses, murder!

PattyMacDotComma I started listening to an interview with author Jojo Moyes about her popular Me Before You, and the interviewer warned me to go make a cup of tea if I didn't want to hear spoilers. I decided, better than that, I'll read the book first! And very glad I did, too! I enjoyed both the book and the interview.

PattyMacDotComma Yay! You're Gay! Now What?: A Gay Boy's Guide to Life is just what it says and lot more entertaining than I'd guessed.

Riyadh Khalaf is a popular YouTube activist, a colourful guy who's put all the facts and fears in this one, well-illustrated book. Celebrities, photos, cartoons!

I found some of it hysterically funny, but I was also as frustrated as a reviewer I saw on TV who said she wanted to throw it against the wall. A little something for everyone! :)

PattyMacDotComma Any Ordinary Day: What Happens After the Worst Day of Your Life? Acclaimed Aussie journalist Leigh Sales has done an extraordinary job of helping people share their horror stories (I can hardly call them anything less!) so that we might understand how to cope and care. It's a page-turner of a different kind.

Some parts are really funny but the fun is acerbic once you realize that every character has a very harsh backstory.

PattyMacDotComma Young Master Reacher makes his debut, chronologically speaking, in Lee Child's novella, placed in the High Heat of 1977 New York City. Jack, at not quite 17, is already a formidable force!

PattyMacDotComma Nobody should pass up the BuzzBook previews! As expected, I enjoyed Buzz Books 2019: Fall/Winter: Excerpts from Next Season's Best New Titles by Susannah Cahalan, Eoin Colfer, J.T. Ellison, Jojo Moyes, Jeanette Winterson and More which, as you can see, has a lot to choose from. I made a few comments, but it's worth checking the Goodreads blurb for a good list.
