Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments While the second book in David Putnam's Dave Beckett series, A Lonesome Blood-Red Sun is still quite readable American crime fiction, I'm undecided if I want more of this protagonist. 3★s

The Perfect Christmas Village by Bella Osborne
I have enjoyed Bella Osborne's works earlier, but this was a mixed bag. I didn't like it as much as I had expected to.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments Lucy Treloar's latest, Days of Innocence and Wonder is beautifully crafted, topical, thought-provoking and incredibly moving: a must-read. I found it hard to limit the quotes... 5★s

PattyMacDotComma | 3299 comments I don't think I know anyone who dislikes Dolly Parton. Tracey Laird has compiled a comprehensive 'scrapbook' of biographical details in Dolly Parton: 100 Remarkable Moments in an Extraordinary Life, which is the perfect coffee table book for a fan.

PattyMacDotComma | 3299 comments In the old days, we could drop our children off at the local playground because it was a happy place, right? Ray Bradbury's 1953 short story, The Playground is a good Spooktober read.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments Zoe Trilsbach is exactly the right narrator for Emily Spurr's second novel Beatrix & Fred: funny, smart and thought-provoking. 5★s

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 709 comments The Palisades by Gail Lynn Hanson
The Palisades by Gail Lynn Hanson
A debut indie work with great potential but mislabelled as a psychological suspense. Recommending it to lit fic fans.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments Not every author should narrate their own book, but Sean Dietrich‘s rendition of Kinfolk is exactly what this fine novel deserves. 5★s

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 709 comments When We Become Ours: A YA Adoptee Anthology edited by Shannon Gibney and Nicole Chung.
When We Become Ours A YA Adoptee Anthology by Shannon Gibney
An anthology of stories about transracial adoptive experiences written by authors who have been adopted outside of their race. I am not a YA fan, but appreciate the theme.

PattyMacDotComma | 3299 comments I've enjoyed John Steinbeck's people and their stories for years. Sweet Thursday is just as funny and touching now as it was when I read it as a teen.

A Midwinter's Tail by Lili Hayward
A good-enough story, while not pathbreaking. Will work well when you are looking for something easy. The setting is amazing.
