"Yerba Buena" by Nina LaCour -
Marked as a romance on NG and GR, but it is more of a coming-of-age drama. Worth a read for literary fiction lovers. 3.75 stars.

Muwinina Country by AA Luana Towney is a children's book that provides a rare opportunity to learn a little of the palawa kani language.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I think readers who enjoyed Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine are going to enjoy meeting Nita Prose's lovable Molly The Maid. She's a square peg who's much more genuine than most who fit in the round holes of the world.
4★ My review of The Maid
The First Woman was my literary introduction to Uganda, and I could not have picked better! I loved it.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
