Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10037 comments Most authors probably shouldn't narrate their books, but Rona Maynard does a fine job of it with her first-dog memoir, Starter Dog: My Path to Joy, Belonging and Loving This World. 4★s

PattyMacDotComma | 3338 comments A Company of Laughing Faces is a curious and moving short story by South African Nadine Gordimer, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1991. In this, she captures the mixed feelings of a 17-year-old girl being pushed by her mother into the company of other young people.
A Company of Laughing Faces by Nadine Gordimer 5★ My review of A Company of Laughing Faces

Rachel (mimbza) | 735 comments Gulliver's Travels Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. by Jonathan Swift I recently read one of the classics, Gulliver's Travels, published in 1726 by Irish author Jonathan Swift. Although he takes a snarky satirical view of the political climate of his times and cleverly places it into an imaginative world, I still found this a difficult book to fully enjoy as a modern reader. Here is ⭐⭐⭐ my review

Loved it! Would work great for literary fiction readers, even if you don't like dystopian.

They meet Theo, the foundling boy with webbed fingers, who the islanders think is a selkie. They uncover ancient tales of whales, witches and witch trials. Here is my review.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10037 comments I really enjoyed the second book in Antti Tuomainen‘s Rabbit Factor series, The Moose Paradox, and I hope that David Hackston has finished translating #3 (The Beaver Theory) from the Finnish soon. David Thorpe’s narration is excellent. 5★s
