Hannah Rose Thomas, a humanitarian activist and artist, has created a beautiful, moving tribute to the women who are always the victims in wars. The stories in Tears of Gold: Portraits of Yazidi, Rohingya, and Nigerian Women should go around the world.

Not only did I enjoy (as expected) The Last Devil to Die, British author Richard Osman's fourth outing with his Thursday Murder Club, but I was impressed with how sensitively he handled some very moving scenes. Wonderful!

The Night Ship by Jess Kidd
I truly thought that this was my kind of book, but it was too dark and too abrupt at the end for my liking. :/

Here's my review of The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Ohhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
One by One by Freida McFadden, is supposedly a thriller about a group of friends who get lost in the woods, but it felt more like an amusing parody to me (possibly there is something wrong with me not the book!) It was a quick read and I still enjoyed it!review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My review of ‘Lions and Tigers and Murder O my ‘ is now up. Unfortunately this iPad won’t let me link and I can’t get to the desktop computer at present.
Zehra Jane Naqvi's narration of Sulari Gentill's first stand-alone, After She Wrote Him, is excellent. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
