What Waits Beneath by Thomas M. Malafarina, and it's horror, funny thing is it's the second book I picked up in 2017 that has some thing to do with a demon.What I have to read :
Dead Gone by T.J. Brearton,
Lost at sea, found at Fukushima by Andy Millar,
Weird Dinosaurs: The Strange new fossils challenging everything we thought we knew by John Pickrell and
Six Four by Hideo Yokoyama
Temple Grandin, a difficult autistic child, grew up to become a world-renowned expert in animal behaviour. Lucky for us, she has a knack for explaining it so it make sense.5★ for her new book, which will become the livestock handlers' bible. Fantastic!
The Small Farm Guide to Working with Animals: How to Handle Livestock Safely and Humanely.

Just finished Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk, which was very good! Reviewed here: https://amwestermeyer.wordpress.com/2...
The Conjoined: A Novel by Jen Sookfong Lee is ostensibly about 2 bodies found in the freezers of a foster mother, but it's more about frustrated people and family dynamics with a lot of social justice messaging. My review

LOVED To The Bright Edge of the World by Eowyn Ivey, whose first book, The Snow Child, made the short list for the Pulitzer Prize. I haven't read it yet, but after having read this, I sure will!This one is a solid 5★ and it has a gorgeous cover.

. Actually, I just started it but I have read the second in this series and found the writing lovely.
There seems to be renewed interest in Anthony Trollope's works, so I read a book of six of his short stories, Selected Short Stories.I like short stories and had never read Trollope. Can't say I was crazy about these, but he did have a way with words, so I quoted some bits I liked. I think fans of Jane Austen will probably enjoy Trollope.

, it's interesting but very sad. Also I wish the author wouldn't have introduced quite so many characters, it's hard to keep track of them all
