The Lost Soul, a short story/parable by Olga Tokarczuk. The text is minimal but inspiring. The illustrations are beautiful.

I also read Miss Iceland by Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir. I've loved everything of hers I've read. My favorite is still Hotel Silence, but this is also very good. There is a quiet, subdued quality about her novels that I really love.

My turn to pick next. Looking for a good book from an Indie author.
I have one in mind but am open to suggestions.
As an Indie author myself I want to introduce my book club to Indie authors. My last book club pick was by Indie author Laura Lyndhurst everyone at the book club enjoyed her book Fairytales Don't Come True. It is available on Amazon as an Ebook, print, and Kindle Unlimited

Hi Belynda,
I've just seen this post, many thanks for mentioning 'Fairytales' and the fact that your book club enjoyed it. I'll keep an eye open to see what you choose next.
All the best with 'Secrets and Silence'.
Best, Laura

I'm currently reading Ezekiel's Brain by Casey Dorman. It is extremely interesting.
I guess I qualify as an Indie Author myself. You can see my books and trailers on my author's page here on goodreads.com.

You could say that I am an Indie author. I'm giving away 100 free e-book copies of Sol is Not Lost. It is a fun science-fiction romp/space opera but carries some interesting themes that many might not have considered. Just send a request to authorScharen@physicist.net. Let me know what format you would like, either .epub or.mobi and to what email address you wish it sent.
I have an author's page here under Michael James Scharen and a website -- michaelsbookcorner.com
Cheers!
Michael

Belinda,
If you would like to share one of my books with your book club, either Sol is Not Lost or For the Ages, that should be fine -- I can send one for you to copy, provided there are not too many people in the group, LOL! Send a request to authorScharen@physicist.net.

Prof. Honan includes a wealth of information about Jane Austen's life and her times. But sometimes he goes into a lot of details that have little or no relevance to Jane Austen or her work. In spite of extensive digressions about various sea battles with France or genealogies of minor characters, this is a well-researched and informative biography.

Two weeks ago, I finished reading
The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom

(I am still crafting a comprehensive book review of that excellent book!)
Today, I am starting to read

This last weekend, I finished reading

If you'd like to get a feel for how I think and and how I craft my book reviews, here is the 2,400-word book review that I posted for this book, 1984 :
