PattyMacDotComma I've not read any of Jeffery Deaver's work before, so his short story Turning Point was my introduction. Loved it! Finding RDK, the Russian Doll Killer, was cleverly done.

PattyMacDotComma Shuggie Bain, the autobiographical novel by Scottish-born author Douglas Stuart, tells of a loving, queer, little boy who adores his beautiful, alcoholic mum. It is heart-breakingly wonderful! Well-deserved winner of the 2020 Booker Prize.

PattyMacDotComma February is Black History Month, and I found James Baldwin's long story/novella Letter from a region in my mind online from 'The New Yorker Magazine'. Still relevant and worth remembering.

Alexander McCall Smith is a white author who created the wonderful Mma Ramotswe in Botswana and The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. She features in The Cleverness of Ladies, a lovely little novella.

PattyMacDotComma Gopher Golf: A Wordless Picture Book by Karl Beckstrand is exactly that - many pages of pictures. There are enough varied scenes for a little kid to follow as a story and then be encouraged to "tell" a story themselves. Lots of laughs!
Gopher Golf A Wordless Picture Book (Stories Without Words, #3) by Karl Beckstrand 3.5★ Link to my Gopher Golf review with several illustrations to give you the idea

My first but not last le Carre novel as I loved his humor and wit and the multiple occasions of double meanings kept me on my toes.

If you love dogs, then you should consider reading Winterdance. If you also enjoy adventure tales or are curious about Alaska, then I'd recommend that you add this to your TBR.

That was too bad that she didn't quite get to finish the series, Rachael. Enjoy your re-read.

PattyMacDotComma Alexander McCall Smith offers a monthly short story on his website. I got a kick out of February's Doctors, Detectives, Common Sense, about the "traditionally-built" Mma Ramotswe, the founder of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency in Botswana, and her annual medical check-up.
