Thanks to Transit Lounge Publishing and BRPreview, I got to read The Time is Now, Monica Sparrow by Aussie author, Matt Howard. I loved it and I'm sad that the library only has one other book by this talented author. The book whisperer will be on the lookout for them.This one is out March 1st.

Bond. James Bond. Need I say more? Good prequel to the famous Ian Fleming spy series. At the request of the Fleming estate, Horowitz wrote Forever and a Day to introduce us to 007 and the woman who explains why she orders martinis "shaken, not stirred."
A solid 4★. Link to my review

I finished The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas and am not raving about it like just about everyone else. I still gave it 3 stars. I have tried to articulate why I wasn't blown away in my review.
I have given 3.5 stars to
The Last Summer of Ada Bloom by Aussie Author Martine Murrayhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Here's my review of No Good Deed: A Thriller by Victor Gischler
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
a thriller which feels like a pulp - in a good way
99 Nights in Logar by Jamil Jan Kochai is an interesting book set in contemporary Afghanistan, describing the visit of a 12 y old boy and his family who emigrated to the US and are returning to home for the first time in 6 years. Unfortunately, it was marred for me due to poor formatting and to badly needing a glossary for the Afghani words used throughout the text. 3.5★

Bird Box by Josh Malerman was highly addictive but not quite as horrific as I was hoping for!

Short and sweet! Sweet price, that is. Author Gregg Hurwitz is giving readers Buy a Bullet FREE on Amazon! It's a self-contained story plus extracts from Book 1 of his popular Orphan X thriller series. 
4.5★ Link to my review
I always look forward to Mick Herron's books and I thought Reconstruction was a stand-alone, so I was delighted to find several characters from his Jackson Lamb series featuring in it. It could almost be a prequel...Not quite as funny as the series, but still excellent British spy fiction, so 5★s from me

Leave No Trace by Mindy Mejia - a thoroughly enjoyable thriller. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Precious and the Zebra Necklace may be for kids, but it is written by Alexander McCall Smith as an offshoot from his No 1 Ladies Detective Agency series, so I can't resist.5★s
