I just finished The Heart Principle and I'm not sure what I'm about to pick up. Probably a Kindle Unlimited Romance because I need to get rid of the bitter taste in my mouth from the one I just finished.

The Sweetness of Water by Nathan Harris - 4.5 stars - My Review

[Woman Reading]

Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe. I'm only moderately interested in the opioid crisis. I read this because I had really enjoyed his Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland. And Keefe once again delivered a story about crimes that go unpunished and the background history which enabled that.

The Last Thing to Burn by Will Dean is confronting, excellent suspense told by a captive Vietnamese 'bride'. I don't know how he did it, but she sounds real!

Maybe I shouldn't have read this one on its own, but Us Against You (Beartown #2) by Fredrik Backman was available. Way too preachy for me. Sorry to all the fans.

Hans Christian Andersen is depicted as a dreamy, imaginative boy by Maxine Lee-Mackie in this colourful addition to the little people BIG DREAMS series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. Such fun to be reminded of his world-famous stories.
