I loved this excellent debut novel
The Slip by Lucas Schaefer. It's set around a boxing gym and the disappearance of a troubled teenage boy, but it's so much more than that.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I'm loving the Ruth Galloway series by Elly Griffiths, and luckily I still have 5 more to catch up on. 5★s for Dying Fall. Clare Corbett's narration is perfect. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Sentence: Stories by Mikhail Iossel

Colm Tóibín's sequel to Brooklyn, Long Island gets mixed reviews, but I really enjoyed it. Jessie Buckley's narration is excellent. 4.5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Rewitched by Lucy Jane Wood
The best thing about this cozy fantasy was probably the cover. Mine is an outlier review.

4 stars for
The Lost Letters of Rose Carey by Aussie Author Julie BennettMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
What with all the current conflicts, I don't know why I chose to read about that between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the 1990s, but by golly, To Go on Living: Stories is an excellent collection of linked stories by Russian/Armenian author Narine Abgaryan. It is fiction, but some is based on her own family. What DOES it take to go on living?
My review of To Go On Living
Robbie Arnott is an interesting Australian author who writes beautifully about his home state of Tasmania. As with his previous novels, Dusk stretches reality, telling the story of the hunt for a monster puma (escaped import?) killing stock and people in remote mountainous regions.
