That's the book's profile you've linked Denisa, not your review :) Welcome to the group too!
My review of
An Irish Country Family by Patrick Taylor. Number 14 in this cosy tale of a small Irish village in Northern Ireland in the 1960s and it's young doctor, Barry Laverty, but could easily be read as a stand alone.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I just finished a magical,lyrical book about the ocean.
by Rachel Carson is just amazing.Not a fast read, as it is full of beautiful writing that must be savored, but I am so glad to have read it again.

I really enjoyed this murder mystery set in the Snowy Mountains.Charlotte Pass by Lee Christine

I just enjoyed the children's picture book of the colourful, (some might say outrageous, especially her fashion designs) Vivienne Westwood by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara. What a wildly inventive lady and role model for kids to learn it's good to stick up for others and protest against evil. 
4★ Link to my 'Vivienne Westwood' review with illustrations and a couple of photos.
The current Buzz Books 2020: Spring/Summer is chock-a-block with excerpts from all kinds of new books and it's free for anyone. But be warned that it will tempt your wallet. I picked a few I like the look of.

An old favourite revisitedDeath on the Nile by Agatha Christie
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I loved this all over again. Wallace Stegner's characters and relationships are so real, and Crossing to Safety is still wonderful.

My review for
Colombiano by Australian author Rusty Young. It's a big book (over 800 pages) and there are many scenes of violence, as it is about a teenage boy who joins the Colombian paramilitaries to avenge his father's death by guerrillas. It's not a book I would have selected to read myself so am glad the publisher offered me a copy as it was well worth the read.

I just finished a really nice, quite unique ARC from Allen & Unwin.House on Endless Waters by Emuna Elon is actually not a new book - it was previously published in Hebrew, this is an English translation and it is a lovely job! An easy four stars.

Recent reread of Robbie's Wife by Russell Hill
Even better the second time around: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
As a child I was scarred for life by the movie, but the short story of Don't Look Now by Daphne du Maurier didn't have quite the same impact.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'm a bit later to the party with the Orphan X series by Gregg Hurwitz. I think it would translate well to film a la Jason Bourne. For #1 Orphan X, park your disbelief, locate the grabrail and hold on for the ride.4★s

Finally finished
. Took a long time to read, as explained in my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...My review of Finding Eden, Mia Sheridan.
I liked better this second part than firs, Becoming Calder, as the characters are more profound, better designed, more able to analyse and understand themselves and the others.
Finally got around to Lying and Dying
