October in the Earth by Olivia Hawker
A historical fiction work set around two women who rode the rails in post-depression era USA. Enjoyed the unusual perspective.

Big Cat for Little Wandle Fluency ― THE WOLF WHO CRIED BOY is a twist with an environmental bent on the folk tale of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. I like this version by Bali Rai better.
My review of The Wolf Who Cried Boy with several illustrations
It Waits in the Woods is reason enough not to venture down that way. Josh Malerman has added his creepy short story to Amazon's Creature Feature Collection.
My review of It Waits in the Woods
The Soulmate by Sally HepworthThis was my first novel by Sally Hepworth. This was well written but domestic thrillers might not be for me.
My overdue review -- https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Sadly, Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig
wasn't as good as the first. I think it was from the lack of 'recap' so I was struggling to remember why I liked the first book.3 Stars

Still available for a couple of days is another Amazon Original Story, A Night at the Tropicana by Chanel Cleeton. Short romance, Miami and Cuba, 1939 and 1969.
My review of A Night at the Tropicana
The Lost Boys of Barlowe Theater by Jaime Jo Wright
Never knew there were Christian thrillers as well. Loved this one!

Any Goodreads librarians able to add a book for me please, It's Probably You by Jayne Denker, it's released on the 3rd of January 2024 and the ISBN number is 9781761423260. Thanks.
CRIKEY! Colourful Aussie Steve Irwin's exclamation was heard around the world. Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara's bright little book is bound to inspire another generation of Wildlife Warriors.

It's Probably You
I just finished the book Redsight by Meridith Mooring, and wrote/scheduled the review.
As we move further into Spooktober, I've read the last two stories from the Creature Feature Collection. I'm not a horror reader, but I've enjoyed getting a taste of how these authors write. Horror fans will enjoy them all.
My review of In Bloom by Paul Tremblay
My review of Best of Luck by Jason Mott
A Season of Monstrous Conceptions by Lina Rather
was a disappointment. The blurb sounded so good, but all that goodness was given within the first 20 pages and then it rambled to the point it felt as if the pages were multiplying and it would never let me finish. 1 Star

I don't think I know anyone who dislikes Dolly Parton. Tracey Laird has compiled a comprehensive 'scrapbook' of biographical details in Dolly Parton: 100 Remarkable Moments in an Extraordinary Life, which is the perfect coffee table book for a fan.
My review of Dolly Parton... with several photos
The Palisades by Gail Lynn Hanson
A debut indie work with great potential but mislabelled as a psychological suspense. Recommending it to lit fic fans.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This was off my 2016 backlist but it's really good!
Two Days Gone by Randall Silvis ⭐⭐⭐⭐.2 https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
A Midwinter's Tail by Lili Hayward
A good-enough story, while not pathbreaking. Will work well when you are looking for something easy. The setting is amazing.

Starling House by Alix E. Harrow
Pretty much a mixed read all the way. Had expected far more from this author.

"The artist" is nameless, houseless (NOT homeless), and only 17 when she sees Lola in the Mirror. Award-winning Aussie author Trent Dalton's wonderful new novel shows the precarious life of people living on the edges.
My review of Lola in the Mirror with a couple of the unique illustrations
My first late review.
Dark Moon, Shallow Sea by David R. Slayton I had to force myself to finish, but it does have the makings of a good book, if the time was taken to fix it up.
2 Stars

Dark Angel aka Wildflower Girls is promoted as gripping and unputdownable, but I lost my grip, skimmed to the end, and put it down quickly. D.K. Hood has a lot of fans and some very high ratings, so I guess it's just me.
My review of Dark Angel

I loved the idea of turning beautiful, harmless butterflies into monsters Swarm by Jennifer Lyle
started off great but slowed down as it became obvious what was going to happen.But I still liked it.

Starting this one on audio...hopefully will have better luck
Finally got to one of the ones I missed getting to earlier this year.
Not Your Ex's Hexes (Supernatural Singles #2) by April Asher
My Review - 3 Stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I always enjoy Irish writer Claire Keegan's work and her new collection, So Late in the Day: Stories of Men and Women, is a good one to start with if you haven't read her yet. Few words but big impact.
My review of So Late in the Day: Stories
The Man I Never Met: A Novel by Elle Cook
Don't fall for that pastel cover. This is a very emotional contemporary drama. Mostly well written. has some triggering health-related content though.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Got to another on of my backlog from earlier this year.
All the Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham
My Review - 4 Stars

The Storm We Made
will be published in January. It will appeal to lovers of historical fiction. My four star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
If you enjoy edgy fairy tales, The Lover by Silvia Moreno-Garcia might be one you'll enjoy. It's another Amazon Original Short Story.
My review of The Lover
I was expecting more from this book but instead of creating a world of magic, it was mostly just a summary going from point A to Z
It could have been so much more!
