PattyMacDotComma Indigenous Aussie author Adam Thompson's recent collection of short stories is spot-on. The fifteen stories in Born Into This take place in Tasmania, but the problems and challenges are nation-wide.

Well worth reading.
Born Into This by Adam Thompson 4.5~5★ Link to my review of Born Into This

PattyMacDotComma Derek B. Miller has given Sheldon Horowitz, his elderly protagonist from Norwegian by Night, a great back story in How to Find Your Way in the Dark. Sheldon wants to kill his father's murderer, but he's only 12.
Loved it!

PattyMacDotComma I'm a fan of picture books that will prompt ongoing conversations between grown-ups and children. Together Again: A Story About Joy by Kochka is about a little boy who's about to burst with anticipation!
Together Again A Story About Joy by Kochka 4.5★ Link to my review of Together Again with several of the exuberant illustrations


message 1233: by PattyMacDotComma (new)

PattyMacDotComma I knew I'd enjoy Elizabeth Strout's latest book, Oh William!, and I was right. She knows people inside and out, and it is a delight to be caught up in her stories.

This is Lucy Barton's memoir, but you don't need to have read My Name Is Lucy Barton first. It's a standalone.
Oh William! by Elizabeth Strout 5★ Link to my Oh, William review


message 1234: by PattyMacDotComma (new)

PattyMacDotComma My Name is Anton by Catherine Ryan Hyde will be enjoyed by her fans. I also think younger readers would like this story of a young man in love.
My Name is Anton by Catherine Ryan Hyde 3★ Link to my review of My Name is Anton


message 1235: by PattyMacDotComma (new)

PattyMacDotComma I must read more Jeffery Deaver! I enjoyed his latest Amazon Original Story, Cause of Death, which could easily have been deveoped into a novel. While the title may not be unique, the cause of death certainly is.
Cause of Death by Jeffery Deaver 5★ Link to my review of Cause of Death

Woman Reading  (is away exploring) | 392 comments Last Guard (Psy-Changeling Trinity #5) by Nalini Singh Last Guard by Nalini Singh is the latest installment in the Psy-Changeling Trinity series. While Silver Silence remains my favorite in this 5-book series, Last Guard is a close contender because it advances the storyline of the ongoing PsyNet crisis.
