That's the kind of praise I like to hear! It's one thing to enjoy a book yourself but quite another to actively recommend it to someone else.

My Name Isn't Joe by James Thomas
Rated 4.69 stars on GR, and I still end up as an outlier. Go figure! :(

2.5 stars for
An Afterlife for Rosemary Lamb by Aussie Author Louise WolhuterMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I didn't realise that A Welcome Reunion was a sort of post-script to Lucinda Berry chilling thriller, The Perfect Child. It can stand alone but is full of spoilers for the earlier book, which I now don't need to read. 4★s for this also very chilling short story.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I may be more than 50 years beyond the target readership for Anna Fienberg's latest, Picasso and the Greatest Show on Earth, but that didn't stop me from immensely enjoying it. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The Sebastian St. Cyr historical mystery series is a favourite. In #10, author C.S. Harris asks, Who Buries the Dead? (And who steals their heads?!) Great atmosphere, stories, and characters.
My review of Who Buries the Dead?
