Buzz Books 2022: Spring/Summer has a long list of books coming out this year, and it includes excerpts from many of them. Authors range from winners of the Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes to debut authors new to the market. It's a great way to get a taste of what's out there.

My review for: Transit of Angels by Desney King
Oh my goodness this book!
I don’t know if I’m over gushing but I personally love this book so much. Maybe it’s a personal thing that just resonates, *she shrugs* I don’t know, but I have to put it out there because books like this need to be shared.

Author Chris Gill is originally a 'product' of the UK and NZ who now lives in Australia. (YAY!) His latest book, Boy Fallen, takes place on the rugged west coast of NZ's South Island. Accident or murder? It's a good story in a great setting - worth a look.
3★ My review of Boy Fallen
4 stars for this dark crime thriller by an Aussie Author

A debut novel can be hit or miss, but Aussie author, Emily Brugman's The Islands is filled with marvellous characters and gorgeous prose: definitely a hit. And I learned something about Finns, crayfishing and the islands off WA. And what a gorgeous cover! 5★s and very interested to see what this author does next.

The Lives Before Us by Juliet Conlin and my latest review for NetGalley.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Just finished Aussie author Anni Taylor's suspenseful One Last Child (Tallman Valley's Detectives, book 1), which takes place in the beautiful, mysterious Blue Mountains west of Sydney. Complicating things is that one of the abducted children is Detective Kate Wakeland's granddaughter. 
4★ My review of One Last Child
This is a bright, appealing children's picture book that would be good for pointing out shapes and finding items from one page to the next. Chelsea O'Byrne is both author and illustrator, and it's lovely.
