Kate Atkinson is so good that I enjoy her mysteries even more the second time around. When Will There Be Good News?, #3 with Jackson Brodie, is a firm favourite.

This is the first in a series (I really did not need to start another series but this was well worth it!)
This is How We Change the Ending, which is Vikki Wakefield latest book (out Sept 3rd) may be labelled as YA but I'm sure older adults will enjoy it too. I certainly did, I had trouble limiting the quotes, hence the long review.5 big ★s from me

This is a very short read that I'm sure you'd all enjoy by much-loved, Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison, who died recently. Sweetness is available free online. I included a link to the discussion which also has the link to the story.

My review for Congo
by Michael Crichton lives here --> https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...I enjoyed the pace, direction and theme of this, but Crichton's delivery with hastened writing (and seriously archaic narrations on certain topics) brought this right back down for me.
A low 3 stars.

Arabella and the Magic Pencil by Stephanie M. Wardhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Such a classic Agatha Christie mystery! M. Hercule Poirot solves the impossible crime again in Murder on the Orient Express. You should exercise your own little brain cells with this one if you haven’t already. :)
