I loved Douglas Stuart's latest book, Young Mungo, about a gentle teen-aged lad who discovers love in the bleakness of Glasgow's East End. The author knows from his own experience that there are roses among the thorns.
5★ My review of Young Mungo

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL NURSES DAY which is celebrated on May 12th, Florence Nightingale's birthday. Born 202 years ago, this most remarkable woman changed nursing around the world. The Lady of the Lamp is still a role model, and I hope this children's book will inspire more kids to go into into nursing.
5★ My review of Florence Nightingale with several illustrations
Completed "Hollow Fires" by Samira Ahmed.
Covers the topic of Islamophobia in the US. Pretty well-written for its target group of YA readers. 4.25 stars from me.

My review for Coming Home to Bellbird Bay Maggie Christensen
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I recently finished the audiobook version of When the Sahara Was Green: How Our Greatest Desert Came to Be by Martin WilliamsApparently the author lives in Australia, and I thought I might mention it here. Really good book, for anyone interested in geology or environmental books but maybe better as a 'real' book than as an audio.
