Letters to a Writer of Color edited by Deepa Anappara
A dull cover, but shines brightly on all other counts. Good for readers and writers of all colours.

The Magician’s Daughter by H.G. Parry
Pretty good if you treat it as a YA Fantasy than an adult fantasy.

Finished The Ferryman by Justin Cronin
earlier this week, and I didn't like it so I didn't want to write a review, but I got it done early this morning. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I enjoyed this first episode of a new Victorian murder mystery series featuring a young woman who is one of the first to be allowed to attend lectures at Oxford University.

Witch KingI have just been approved to read Witch King by Martha Wells. I haven't read anything by her before but have heard good reports of the Murderbot Diaries. The first couple of chapters give me a N K Jemisin/Rebecca Roanhorse vibe... which is intriguing...

I just got approved also, and I listened to the Murderbot Diaries, and loved them, but wished they were longer, but I highly recommend them.
I'm looking forward to reading Witch King, but it's 3rd down.
Robert Dugoni's new standalone novel
Her Deadly Game is a thrilling courtroom drama played with all the intensity and strategy of a game of chess.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Wow,
Thirty Days in Paris By Veronica Henry just blew me away, would give 6* if I could.Here's my review:

Girl Out of Time by Clyde Boyer
Assumed it to be an adult sci-fi read, but it turned out to be a middle-grade sci-fi. Nevertheless, very entertaining and thought-provoking.

The Doctor’s Wife by Daniel Hurst ⭐⭐⭐⭐.1https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

All That Is Mine I Carry with Me by William Landay
A well-written family drama set around a crime mystery. Slow paced but worth it.

I recently finished Harlan Coban's "I Will Find You"My pulse is still racing from the read and "I Will Find You" is now my favorite Harlan Coben novel! I couldn't put it down and spent the day curled up on the couch reading until finishing the final chapter. The layers that Coben reveal in David's story leave readers on the edge of their seats and along for the ride on his mission to find Matthew.

The Mistress Next Door by Lesley Sanderson ⭐⭐.9 https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Beyond That, the Sea by Laura Spence-Ash
An emotional debut work, though not exactly a WWII love story as promised. Worth a read though.

The London Séance Society by Sarah Penner
Could have been outstanding had the focus stayed on the mystery and the seances.

as well. I was generous with 3 starts.Here are my comments on it https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Ah, I remember the heady scent of racing fuel at trackside! Young Lewis Hamilton was bitten early by the Grand Prix bug and grew to be the top Formula One driver and a Sir, no less. Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara shows how a talented black kid made good in a white man's sport.
5★ My review of Lewis Hamilton with illustrations (Yes, we need more electrics.)

Robert Dugoni's latest, Her Deadly Game, is a courtroom drama with a good investigative dilemma at the heart and a most intriguing solution.

The Nursery by Szilvia Molnar
Great in some ways, below average in other ways.

A Tidy Ending by Joanna Cannon certainly has some strange, tidy characters as well as a strange, tidy ending. There is a lot of love out there for this one twisty mystery.
3★ My review of A Tidy Ending
Death of a Bookseller by Alice Slater, it's amazing, very chilling and dark in some places, not what I thought at all.
The Ghosts of Thorwald Place by Helen Power
An interesting debut work with an unusual theme. Pretty good.

The Ten Percent Thief by Lavanya Lakshminarayan
An imaginative dystopian sci-fi written in an unusual style. This is still available for request on Netgalley, but I got it from Edelweiss.

Hello Beautiful is the catch-phrase of the father of four sisters in Ann Napolitano's latest novel, which covers about fifty years. Love, anger, strong differences of opinion, even death - it's all here.
