"Revolutions never start at the top." Aussie social psychologist Hugh Mackay has studied and written about the Australian community for decades. The Kindness Revolution: How we can restore hope, rebuild trust and inspire optimism is a terrific resource for anyone wanting to make a difference, not only in Australia.

I loved Akwaeke Emezi's debut novel, Freshwater, but I think other readers will enjoy The Death of Vivek Oji more than I did. Love, sex, acceptance.

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

I’ve restarted it recently from page 1 as I’d like to fully annotate my copy of the book. Bracing myself for what I hear is a rollercoaster of a book overall.

Yes, it's a rollercoaster, Khush, but I think it was more than worth the ride! I loved it. My review of A Little Life: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I loved John Boyne's latest novel, a satire about The Echo Chamber that is Twitter. The Cleverley family is less than clever, but oh, so funny, as they learn what being cancelled means.

I often admit that I have a soft spot for short stories, and I've just read two very different ones. Both are FREE and I've included links where you can find them.

Well-known author Amor Towles wrote The Line about a simple Russian peasant, Pushkin, who finds contentment easily, while his wife keeps seeking greener pastures.
4★ Link to my review of The Line

On a completely different and funny note -

Cost of Care by Betsy Robinson is an extremely short story that is bound to delight you! Spare a few minutes to see a pair of entitled folk get their come-uppance. Supremely satisfying!

I was fortunate to receive an arc for this book, which is scheduled for release in Sept 2021:
Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr - 5 stars - My Review

Doerr’s writing is lively and intelligent. If you have previously read All the Light We Cannot See, do not expect anything remotely similar (except for the writing, which is outstanding).

It involves nested stories and is mixture of myths, literary fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, travel, and ethical quandaries. It tackles interesting themes: the power of literature to unite people across cultures and time periods, environmentalism, and the human desire to seek utopia. It will appeal to those who enjoy creative, quirky, playful, thought-stimulating stories. I loved it.

Fahrenheit 451 by one of my favorite authors, Ray Bradbury. I read it years ago as a teen. Now older, I am picking up things I didn't back then. Such a great book about a dystopian future!

Land of Love and Drowning by Tiphanie Yanique - 4 stars - My Review

[PattyMacDotComma]

The Story of Climate Change: A first book about how we can help save our planet by Catherine Barr is just what it says. Attractive and surprisingly informative for a children's book. Goes right back to before the dinosaurs. Cute cartoonish drawings.
4.5~5★ Link to my review of Story of Climate Change with several illustrations.

[PattyMacDotComma]

This one's for dads, or rather kids with dads. My Dad by Susan Quinn shows a cute little kid with a dad who is a happy, fulltime parent. Warm, fuzzy stuff and nicely imaginative.

Art Garfunkel is the best friend who helped his college roommate, Sanford D. Greenberg deal with his sudden blindness. Greenberg's memoir, Hello Darkness, My Old Friend: How Daring Dreams and Unyielding Friendship Turned One Man's Blindness Into an Extraordinary Vision for Life.

It is fabulous! Greenberg knows everybody who's anybody, worked in the Johnson White House, and tells great stories!

This is the Kopp sisters, World War One style! Norma's in France with her pigeons, young Fleurette is touring in the US with a dance troupe, and Constance is spying. Always fun. Dear Miss Kopp by Amy Stewart is #5 in the series.
