Anita | 57 comments Just like a water leak ‘The Cast Aways of Harewood Hall’ by Karen Herbert is a slow build to its gushing conclusion.'

Carolyn | 9836 comments The Battle Cry of the Siamese Kitten by Philipp Schott The Battle Cry of the Siamese Kitten by Canadian veterinarian Philipp Schott is his third collection of tales and anecdotes about his patients and their owners. A fun read for those who enjoy amusing (and a few sad) animal stories.

Carolyn | 9836 comments My review of urban fantasy What Song the Sirens Sang (Gideon Sable #3) by Simon R. Green What Song the Sirens Sang by Simon R. Green, third in his master thief Gideon Sable series. Fun but starting to feel a bit formulaic.

Wishtress by Nadine Brandes
A YA Christian fantasy. Slow and lengthy, but well worth the efforts.

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments Elizabeth Strout's Lucy Barton returns in her new book, Lucy by the Sea, where ex-husband William takes her to Maine to escape the pandemic which has brought New York City to its knees. It's American, real and current, but the relationship strengths and strains go beyond geographical boundaries and times. Families are families. Neighbours are neighbours.
Lucy by the Sea (Amgash, #4) by Elizabeth Strout 5★ My review of Lucy by the Sea

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments Hands is a moving short story from Sherwood Anderson's highly regarded collection, Winesburg, Ohio (1919). Wing Biddlebaum doesn't understand what is wrong with his hands, but it's obvious to the rest of us.
Hands by Sherwood Anderson 4★ My review of Hands with a link to where you can download the story

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments How to rate this? Danielle Carter's is a 3★ star rendition of Tara Moss's 5★ novel, The Ghosts of Paris. Breathy, strangely paced, weirdly over-emphatic, with some dodgy pronunciation. Might give further audio by this narrator a miss.

The Lost Girls of Willowbrook by Ellen Marie Wiseman
Expected a lot from this expose into a horrifying institution, but the amateurish writing was a dampener. I'm the outlier yet again. :(

Our Stolen Child by Melissa Wiesner
A thought-provoking albeit predictable family drama. Raises some interesting points. Watch out for the triggers though.

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments One should always pay attention to what the animals are doing. Jack London is well-known for his tales of the frozen north, and his short story, To Build a Fire, is colder and more desperate than most.
To Build A Fire by Jack London 4★ My review of To Build a Fire

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments Pre-teen (ALMOST 13!) Ricky Bird is struggling with parents' split, sick little brother, and moving to a different estate in another part of London. Aussie author Diane Connell's The Improbable Life of Ricky Bird deals with many difficult subjects. I think it would be a good YA read.

Andrea | 2163 comments I'm a little late with my review for Ian McEwan's new novel, Lessons, partly because it was lengthier than I realised, but also because it gave me so much to think about. A highlight of 2022 for me.
