I am enjoying New Jersey in 1915 with the entertaining Kopp Sisters mystery series that's based on real people.

As late as the 1960s, Australian Aboriginal children with white blood were forcibly removed from their black families, who were considered incapable of taking care of them. The White Girl is a fictional story about a grandmother and her very fair granddaughter, by Indigenous author Tony Birch. Thought-provoking (and infuriating).

I’m reading a book called Playing Nice by J.P. Delaney

I'm not sure I'd be up to the challenge of visiting Matt Haig's imaginative The Midnight Library, but it certainly would be tempting!

The Book of Ebenezer Le Page is the fictional memoir of a very old Guernsey bachelor (who always enjoyed the girls), written by G.B. Edwards. It covers both World Wars, the Depression, and the Nazi Occupation. It is unique and absolutely fascinating!

Books of Blood, Volume Two by Clive Barker

The Angel of Darkness (Dr. Laszlo Kreizler #2) by Caleb Carr was excellent. I liked it more than I did The Alienist. I would highly recommend We Have Always Been Here: A Queer Muslim Memoir by Samra Habib. I thought The Zodiac Killer (Zodiac Killers #1) by W.L. Knightly was just "meh" and won't be continuing with the series. Especially since I suspect you must read all 12 just to find out whodunnit!

Currently reading The Grace of Kings (Dandelion Dynasty #1) by Ken Liu, China Rich Girlfriend (Crazy Rich Asians #2) by Kevin Kwan, and How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram Kendi for the White Racial Literacy Project on campus, we discuss 2-3 chapters per month.

Then I'll continue with White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin DiAngelo, Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Jason Reynolds (and Ibram Kendi), The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. DuBois, and Learning Race, Learning Place: Shaping Racial Identities and Ideas in African American Childhoods by Erin Winkler.

I am another enthusiastic fan of Graham Brack and his mystery series. Dishonour and Obey is the third outing with Master Mercurius, who investigates a murder for colourful English King Charles II.

This is the way to learn history so you remember it!

If you're from a rev-head family, you'll want this little book for the kids. Ayrton Senna has often been called the greatest racing driver ever.

Good Girl, Bad Girl by great Aussie crime-writer Michael Robotham just won him his second Golden Dagger Award. The second in the series, When She Was Good is very, very good, and the bad guys were absolutely horrid!

Great book! I recently watched the original movie adaptation ("The Haunting") but I enjoyed the book much better. I haven't seen the Netflix series yet, but I hear it's not much like the book at all.

Death of a River Guide was the absolutely stunning 1994 debut of the 2014 Booker-winning Aussie author Richard Flanagan, and I loved it. The wilds of Tasmania's Franklin River - terrifying and beautiful!

I've only seen the film version with Liam Neeson... which was forgettable especially when you can compare it with the feelings Jackson evoked.

I am reading The Ten Thousand Doors of January for a GR group. (Already behind!!) but it is good so far.

Also The Discomfort of Evening which is a little sad and a little strange but a quick read.

Thanks to other GR readers for sharing this - I love short stories! Here's my take on Death By Scrabble by Charlie Fish. Good fun and very, very short.

This is another cute cartoon biography for kids of Steve Jobs by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara. All libraries should have collections of this Little People BIG DREAMS series to inspire kids' curiosity. I always learn something from them and end up looking for more details!
