Completed "Gods of Jade and Shadow" by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Though it is not written as a YA book, it will certainly work well as a YA Fantasy.

Just finished reading Himalaya: A Human History
by Ed Douglas. Quite an in-depth study from the earliest time to the present-day about the Himalaya and those who lives across the mountain range and the high plateau of Tibet - My review.
I really enjoyed the characters in The Secret World of Connie Starr, Aussie author Robbi Neal's new novel. It begins during the Depression and goes to 1952 in the small country town of Ballarat, Victoria. It's hard to keep secrets in a small town.
4★ My review of The Secret World of Connie Starr
Doctor Ice Pick sounds like some kind of snake-oil salesman from a couple of centuries ago, but this short non-ficton piece by Claire Prentice explains how recently he and his trainees were poking into brains of disturbed patients. ACK!
3★ My review of Doctor Ice Pick

Lying Beside You, #3 in the Cyrus Haven series by Michael Robotham is, if it's actually possible, even better than #1 and #2. More of this pair is most definitely welcome!! 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The Last Line by Robert Dugoni is a short story prequel in the Tracy Crosswhite series that also has relevance for the next book in the series, What She Found. Only 46 pages, but still 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Having been hooked by Carter Wilson's The New Neighbor, I had to go back and read The Dead Husband, a dark and twisted page-turner. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My review of No Safe Secret by Fern Michaels
2 and a half stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
While the author will know exactly what voice and intonation they intend for their characters, they might often NOT be the best person to narrate the audio version of their book. In the case of Still Life though, Sarah Winman is exactly the right person to do it: just wonderful!5★s
