Olaf and Essex by Patti Calkosz
Very much an outlier for this middle-grade novel. Didn't like the writing at all.

Andrea | 2170 comments With more than a nod to Enid Blyton, AA Jock Serong has let his imagination run wild with Cherrywood, and I'm all for it.

1. Lost at Windy River: A True Story of Survival by Trina Rathgeber
Lost at Windy River A True Story of Survival by Trina Rathgeber
Needed a bit of finetuning, but good to know an inspiring true story.

Carolyn | 9865 comments My review of December Park by Ronald Malfi December Park by Ronald Malfi, way too long and more of a coming of age tale than a horror novel, but with lots of 5★ reviews.

PattyMacDotComma | 3310 comments Would You Like to Choose the Race? is a thought-provoking question suggested by Arvind Ethan David in his clever 'Earworm' series dramatisation.

PattyMacDotComma | 3310 comments George Saunders is one of the very best short story writers. He reveres the Russian masters. I, on the other hand, prefer his work, like the moving, inventive, bizarre stories in Tenth of December. What an imagination!
Tenth of December by George Saunders My review of Tenth of December


Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 723 comments Bright I Burn by Molly Aitken
Bright I Burn by Molly Aitken
Based on the story of a woman in thirteenth century Ireland who was the first to be condemned as a witch. Had great potential but the writing approach was a bit too experimental. Might work better for Booker-style lit fic lovers.
