I went down the middle with a 2.5 star rating for Stone Sky Gold Mountain by Mirandi Riwoe.The subject matter is really interesting but I just couldn't get into it. It took me weeks to finish.
My review for
The Hidden by Melanie Golding, an unusual thriller with a mythical elementhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Miss Kopp Investigates by Amy Stewart is seventh in the entertaining Kopp Sisters historical mystery series about real people in New Jersey, USA. It's the early 1900s, just after WWI - such different times.

Invisible Boys by Aussie author Holden Sheppard is fiction, but he knows what it was to feel despair growing up as an invisibile (gay) boy in a country town. Oh, how I feel for all those kids out there whose lives we make so miserable.

While Paris Slept by Ruth DruartMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Many times during Gloria in Extremis, I could envisage the protagonist's monologue being done as stand-up by British comedienne, Sarah Millican: dry, deadpan and hilariously funny. Lynne O’Sullivan's debut novel is very entertaining and ultimately uplifting.4★s

When I picked up Serpent Loop by Lynn Lipinski from NetGalley, I didn't realise it was a sequel, but there was enough recap for it to stand alone. Of course, there were spoilers for the first book, so best read in order. Enjoyable crime fiction.4★s
