The Disorganisation of Celia Stone by Aussie Author Emma YoungMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Frank and Red by Matt Coyne
One of the sweetest stories I have ever read. The titular characters are the best!

From my 2018 backlist shelf:
The Suffering of Strangers by Caro Ramsay ⭐⭐⭐⭐.1 https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Pulitzer winning American author Andrew Sean Greer has written a warm, funny account of his and his mother's road trip, My Mother and Other Wild Animals. They are great friends but mismatched travel companions. It's short and enjoyable.
My review of My Mother and Other Wild Animals
I can see the appeal of Kill Your Husbands by popular young Aussie author Jack Heath, but the mixup between the print version and the audio rather spoiled the experience for me. Jack was gracious enough to explain what happened in a long comment, for which he deserves a lot of credit. Have a look.
My review of Kill Your Husbands
Catching up on the books I've missed in the Ruth Galloway series by Elly Griffiths, still going strong after 15 books, Jane McDowell's rendition of #2, The Janus Stone is excellent. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Easy Target: Taming the Black Dog by Adam Blum.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
In My Brother's Keeper, Tim Powers gives the reader the Bronte family and ghosts and werewolves. I think I can safely say, not for everyone. 3.5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

A romcom that tries too hard to be impactful. A decent debut. though.
