My review for
The Wife and the Widow by Christian White. I enjoyed the clever misdirection by the author!https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I re-read Whisper by Lynette Noni in preparation for the sequel and it was just as thrilling second time around.

I've been reading Lizard's Tale by Weng Wai Chan, a fabulous middle-grade tale of espionage in 1940s Singapore.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Thanks to Patty Mac's review, I also went to http://www.acobas.net/teaching/textbo... and read this powerful little story, Address Unknown by Kathrine Kressmann Taylor. It may be from 1938, but packs a punch today too. 5★s

It's hardly the Definitive Dylan, but this book for kids, Bob Dylan, by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara is a good introduction to a unique singer-songwriter and the first musician to win the Nobel Prize for music.

I love Maggie O'Farrell's books, but this one, about herself, is something else again! I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death is 17 stories from her life, which could have been a lot shorter at least 17 times!

The Unblessed Child by debut AA R.J. Kaldanishttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I recommend this to anyone dealing with anxiety and/or depression - their own, or someone else’s. Your Own Kind of Girl is Aussie singer and entertainer Clare Bowditch’s raw, often funny, memoir, which includes lots of tips and a good reference list. The cover is one of my favourites!

I guess I'm quite hooked on Gregg Hurwitz's Evan Smoak despite his designer vodkas and his fancy weapons. I'm giving Out of the Dark 5★s and looking forward to Into the Fire, after which I shall have to wait for him to write another.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

5⭐️'s
Absolutely loved reading this, it does tug at the 'ol heartstrings a bit, but a really thought provoking read. I highly recommend it to lovers of a really well contrived and well written book. 👏
Really enjoyed
Origin in Death by J.D. Robb, #21 in the seriesmy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finally read a book that has been recommended to me for years;
by Jack Londonwas every bit as good as I had been told, though it took me so long to get to it.

I haven’t left a review as such, just a comment but I finished Three Hours by Rosamund Lupton
yesterday and loved it so much that I’m having a hard time getting started on a new book.Nearly returned it to the library unread as I’m feeling a little over whelmed with all the books I WANT to read at the moment but so glad I picked it up before bed the other night to check!
