The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport by Samit Basu is a popular, fun fantasy/scifi novel based on the story of Aladdin, but I found the plot quite chaotic.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Last Night at the Hollywood Canteen
by Sarah James and my review.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Tasmanian writer
Richard Flanagan
is one of the very best Aussie authors, whether it's for his prize-winners and best-sellers or his essays and articles, some of which are collected in And What Do You Do Mr. Gable?. Intelligent, thoughtful, passionate, unique. Love his work.
My review of And What Do You Do, Mr. Gable?

Never knew there were Christian thrillers as well. Loved this one!
