I’m reading a book called Tell Me I'm Wrong by Adam Croft

[PattyMacDotComma]

Apeirogon, by award-winning Irish writer Colum McCann, is the remarkable and moving true story of two fathers, former enemies, working for peace. One is Israeli, one Palestinian. Both lost young daughters in the conflict. It is unbelievably beautifully done.
5★ My review of Apeirogon

[PattyMacDotComma]

Ashley Audrain's psychological thriller, The Push, caused a lot of stir and I wondered why. I knew there was a worn-out mother with young children, but I expected something more.
3★ My review of The Push

[PattyMacDotComma]

Where Serpents Sleep is number 4 in the engaging Sebastian St. Cyr historical mystery series. London 1812. Lord Devlin is teamed up with the daughter of Lord Jarvis, his nemesis. Full of action, history and humour.

I’m reading a book called The Perfect Son by Freida McFadden

[Alicja]

The Island of Missing Trees is a book I'm reading a local bookclub. It is so far interesting as I never expected to read a book from a perspective of both a person and a tree (I have a feeling it's a metaphor).

A new favourite Aussie thriller for my bookshelf! If you need more than my enthusiasm, Lee Child called Michael Trant's latest novel, Wild Dogs "Tough, fast and hard – my kind of book." It is also a completely authentic, Aussie outback story. I'm with Lee on this one.
5★ My review of Wild Dogs

I couldn't resist sharing some of the verse and illustrations after enjoying a re-read of Madeline, the much-loved picture book and poem from 1939 by Ludwig Bemelmans. I can't recite all of it anymore, but I'm surprised how much I remember.

"In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines lived twelve little girls in two straight lines. . ."
5★ My revisit to Paris with Madeline

I agree with your comments. This is one amazing book!

I've previously read by the same author and I think she does a very good job at brining to live in a modern way those old tales and legends

See Them Die, by Michael Fowler, introduces forensic psychologist Dr. Hamlet Mottrell, who is lying in a hospital bed with bandaged wrists, accused of slaughtering his family. Not a bad start for a new psychological mystery series
3★ My review of See Them Die

[Christine]

I’m reading a book called Two Can Keep a Secret by Karen M. McManus

[PattyMacDotComma]

I recently read Take It Back, the first of Kia Abdullah's popular new mystery series. Interesting premise: In London, a white, disabled girl accuses 4 Muslim boys of rape. Her lawyer is a beautiful, smart Muslim woman. Dilemma?
My review of Take It Back

[PattyMacDotComma]

What a genre-busting delight The Nancys is! NZ author R.W.R. McDonald's debut is a funny, amateur-sleuth mystery with bright, young Tippy Chan and her over-the-top gay uncle and his beau.
4★ My review of The Nancys

[RJ - Slayer of Trolls]

The end of PBS' "Sanditon" has put me in the mood for Georgette Heyer and I chose The Grand Sophy, which was first but not to be my last.

Wolf Girl is a shy little girl who pretends to be a brave, fierce wolf. The illustrations by author Jo Loring-Fisher are just beautiful.
3.5★ My review of Wolf Girl with some of the lovely artwork

[PattyMacDotComma]

I loved The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes about a man whose memory is as fallible as everyone's. Wonderful story with an ending that has generated a lot of discussion since it won the Booker Prize in 2011.
5★ My review of The Sense of an Ending

I have been rifling through the back catalog of 'Levar Burton Reads'.

I have just finished Burned. I am a bit more than a third of the way through Tango Uniform. I am about 85 pages into Here Be Dragons but had to return it to the library and am waiting to get another copy. I have also started Sphinx and have read a bit more than 5% of it. Also on my Currently Reading shelf is Stormbird but have not started it yet.

Reversible Errors by Scott Turow

[PattyMacDotComma]

I think The Strange Adventures of H, a young girl, by Sarah Burton could be an entertaining introduction to historical fiction about 17th century London. It covers the Plague, the Great Fire, and bawdy houses.
3★ My review of Strange Adventures of H

Vertigo by Boileau-Narcejac

[PattyMacDotComma]

I am one of many fans of pre-teen sleuth and poisons expert Flavia de Luce, whose chemistry skills are legendary. The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag is the second in the series by Alan Bradley, and his depiction of 1950s rural England is a treat. Love it!
4.5~5★ My review of . . . the Hangman's Bag

We know him by his stage name Harry Houdini, which means MAGIC! This is another colourful introduction by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara to a little person who realised their Big Dreams. Excellent!
5★ My review of Houdini with several illustrations

[PattyMacDotComma]

I enjoy the Amazon Original Stories, which are quick reads written by well-known authors and give readers a sample of their talent and style. Jeffery Deaver recently contributed Scheme, which has an unexpected (of course) twist at the end.
3★ My review of Scheme

On Wings of Eagles. Usually a writer of thriller fictions, Ken Follett turned his attention to recounting the true story of rescuing two American executives falsely imprisoned in Iran during its revolution about forty years ago.
