PattyMacDotComma I just enjoyed the thought-provoking second book of the Monkeewrench mystery series, Live Bait by mother-daughter duo P.J. Tracy. As if the concentration camp hadn't been bad enough, a Holocaust survivor is murdered. I'm glad there are more of these to look forward to!

PattyMacDotComma Butterfly Blink: A Book Without Words is another colourful conversation-starter for children by Karl Beckstrand. As the title suggests, no words are necessary - except for the person answering the inevitable questions!

This was a Pulitzer Prize nominee in 2015 (didn't win), but it deservedly garnered other awards.

PattyMacDotComma Graham Brack is a favourite author of mine. The Vanishing Children is the latest Master Mercurius mystery set in the Netherlands in the 17th century. I'm very fond of this gentle, witty cleric whom William of Orange keeps dragging away from his comfortable university post to work for him. History, mystery, and humour - love it!

PattyMacDotComma Booker-winning, Tasmanian Richard Flanagan has written a remarkable parable for our times. During Australia's Black Summer of bushfires, three adult children play tug-of-war over their dying mother, while her mind is often floating in The Living Sea of Waking Dreams. Suspension of disbelief is required, as the daughter's finger disappears and almost nobody notices.
