Jane Harper's Tasmanian coast in The Survivors is just as compelling as her outback in The Dry and The Lost Man. Evelyn Bay is such a small town that it's almost a locked room mystery. Loved it!

Getting ready to start Julie Caplin's 'The Little Swiss Ski Chalet.' 
Caplin's books always chase the winter blues away as readers cozy up for an escape read.
Rainbow Colors by words&pictures is a cute little book for very young kids to enjoy with an older friend to help them find the things that are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

I am on tenterhooks now, waiting to see where Gregg Hurwitz takes the Nowhere Man next! Terrific, disturbingly real warfare concerns in Prodigal Son.

And an audiobook
The Ghost Fields by Elly Griffiths https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...
This is a poignant but also uplifting story about a South Korean teenager dying of an ageing disease. Not mushy and often humorous. Originally published in Korean in 2011, it's been translated for re-release on 26th Jan.
My Brilliant Life by Kim Ae-ranreview: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The lull of the Alps, coziness of the chalet and the tantalizing smell of chocolate will tempt Mina with a delicious European divergence. Readers will find themselves curling up under the cover equipped with a steaming cup of hot chocolate to indulge in a Caplin's latest adventure.I could almost smell the chocolate and the fresh mountain air from my living room. I didn't want to check out of the 'Little Swiss Ski Chalet!".
My Full Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Tweet-length "fiction". I love, love, love wise sayings, witticisms, simple fun. I am too wordy - these guys are not. A Small Fiction by brothers James Mark Miller and Jefferson Miller is a sheer delight. Funny, clever, excellent!

John Lennon by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara is a beaut little kids' book about his life and the Beatles. This is a lovely little tribute to the musical genius we lost to a gunman 40 years ago this month. 40 years!
4.5★ Link to my John Lennon review
Radio Life by Derek B. Miller is a change of genre from his previous quirky crime novels to a post apocalyptic world, but was a very enjoyable read.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Tall Tales and Wee Stories: The Best of Billy Connolly by Billy Connolly https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...
One of my many resolutions this year is keeping up with my NetGalley queue! I'm currently reading a few favorites but slipped back into my queue to read Greeley's 'The Heiress' before publication date! 
Molly Greeley's #TheHeiress inspires readers to travel outside their comfort zones and beyond the pandemic's walls.
While taking precautions, we need to keep living to avoid becoming shadows of our former selves. Publishing at a time when we're trapped by our fears and facing an uncertain future, Greeley's novel harnesses the power to achieve our dreams.
My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
We know from the title to look forward to The Great Escape from Woodlands Nursing Home, but it's an after dark innovation suggested by author Joanna Nell that interests me. I do love a good idea.

Who knew there was an in-depth, scientific (GORGEOUS!) study of international fairies?! A Natural History of Fairies by Emily Hawkins and illustrator Jessica Roux is terrific - as appealing for oldies as for kiddies!

Just started
, The Nature of Fragile Things, so far so good. Angela gave it a 5* and that's good enough of a recommendation for me:)
Itchy fingers? Amigurumi Crochet: Farm and Forest Animals by Kristen Rask will have you busy with these cute designs. Clear details, excellent instructions.
5★ Link to my Crochet Animals review with several pictures
Anita Abriel's 'Lana's War.' The novel publishes on January 12th.
I love historical fiction and the disturbingly-wonderful World War II era. While a grim time in history, the stories of perseverance and strangers risking their lives to save others is inspiring.
