Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 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 | 3297 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

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

End of Story by Louise Swanson
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) | 9975 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
