Yerba Buena A Novel 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.

Carolyn | 9840 comments Following enthusiastic reviews by Marianne and a few other GR friends, I nabbed a NG audiobook of
Fifty-Four Pigs A Dr. Bannerman Vet Mystery by Philipp Schott Fifty-Four Pigs: A Dr. Bannerman Vet Mystery by veterinarian Philipp Schott. As promised it was a fun and quirky murder mystery with a vet as the amateur investigator.

PattyMacDotComma | 3299 comments 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.
