The House of Now and Then by AAJo Dixon, which is also one of this month's Group Reads, was a fantastic debut.

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 709 comments Completed two lovely indie works from the UK:
1. Cat and The Dreamer by Annalisa Crawford
Cat and The Dreamer by Annalisa Crawford
Excellent for dark literary fiction lovers.

2. Surviving Her by Jo Johnson
Surviving Her by Jo Johnson
A domestic suspense with many surprises along the way. The author's experience as a psychologist is put to good use here.

PattyMacDotComma | 3299 comments I loved Max Porter's latest novel, Shy and the boy for whom it is titled. Shy retreats into music at The Last Chance School to escape his memories. It's a wonderful, short gem of a book.

PattyMacDotComma | 3299 comments Kelly Link's new collection of seven stories, White Cat, Black Dog: Stories, is based on old folk and fairy tales. I can see why she's so popular. The ones I liked, I really liked. Others - not so much.
White Cat, Black Dog Stories by Kelly Link 3★ My review of White Cat, Black Dog with a link to 'The New Yorker' article about both the book and its author
