Another dud, I'm afraid!The Girl in the Tree by Şebnem İşigüzel actually put me to sleep. It was a good nap, though, so I guess it all balanced out.

The Overdue Life of Amy Byler by Kelly Harms and my latest review.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Apples Never Fall is the latest from Aussie author Liane Moriarty. It's a family tree of tennis players, the kind of varied group of characters she's so well-known for. I wish I'd liked it better.

Strange Bliss: Essential Stories is a collection of six of Katherine Mansfield's excellent, quirky short stories. People are just as selfish and awkward and silly today as they were when she was writing.

The Midwives of Lark Lane by Pam Howes and my review for NetGalley and Kindle Unlimited. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Family is the first in Owen Mullen's new Glass Family series. Two crime families vie for supremacy, but don't think the Glass siblings are the good guys!
