My review of The Happiest Little Town by Barbara Hannay
5 stars

Recently finished a re-read of Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
Having watched the excellent film adaptation (and cried), I felt that I just had to revisit the book - I very rarely re-read books (just too many new ones to read!), but felt that I had to make an exception for this one. Still a 'more than 5-star' read for me!

Jodi Picoult never shies away from the challenging and controversial. Mad Honey is informative, moving and thought-provoking. 5★s from me! https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My review for
The Good Wife by Ellery A. Kane, a tension filled domestic dramahttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Maria Angelico's strange pacing and emphasis don't do this gripping, topical and relevant debut novel by Vikki Petraitis any favours. 4★s for The Unbelievedhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Ah that's so satisfying that it held up for you!
Wilma Mankiller
was some woman! Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara picked a remarkable Cherokee woman who rose from 'dirt-poor' to represent her Nation. It's another excellent addition to the Little People BIG DREAMS collection. I'm so glad I met her in this little book.
5★ My review of Wilma Mankiller with a few illustrations
Daughters of Smoke and Fire is a powerful story about the struggles of the Kurdish people in Iran, by Ava Homa the first Kurdish woman to publish a novel in English. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Here is my review
With the first book I read by Canadian veterinarian Philipp Schott, it was the quirky title that got me in. Now, I know that anything he writes will be informative, entertaining, often moving and frequently hilarious. The Battle Cry of the Siamese Kitten backs that up. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
