Authentically Izzy (Skymar #1) by Pepper D. Basham
Quite a fun epistolary novel, though the emails did become tiresome after a while.

Carolyn | 9840 comments Ruthless (Kaldan and Schafer #3) by Anne Mette Hancock Ruthless by Anne Mette Hancock is the third book in her nordic noir series featuring journalist Heloise Kaldan and DS Erik Schäfer. This one is quite dark with Heloise investigating a cold case of a missing woman in Jutland.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments The Things That Matter Most by Gabbie Stroud should be required reading for every new teacher, every parent and every education bureaucrat. Have the tissues ready, tear ducts will get a workout. 5 big ★s

Scareground by Angela Kecojevic
Rarely does a middle-grade book leave me with mixed feelings. This had potential, but probably needed a more experienced author.

PattyMacDotComma | 3299 comments Almost everyone, whether they're aware of it or not, has heard music by Mozart. This children's introduction by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara is another in the Little People, BIG DREAMS series. He was an amazing child prodigy.
