The Cut Throat Trial by S.J. Fleet is the debut fiction legal thriller of a barrister and blogger known as The Secret Barrister., who also writes non fiction books about trials in the English & Welsh court system. It's no surprise then that this feels like you are in a courtroom watching a real trial while privy to the thoughts of the defendants, barristers, KCs and Judge.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Send Flowers by Emily Buchanan
Looks like a love story, and it is one. Not of the regular kind but the creepy kind. Mixed opinion.

Two graphic novels about two incredible historical women. Unfortunately, both books don't do justice to them. They are worth reading for the facts, though.1. Surrounded: America’s First School for Black Girls, 1832 by Wilfrid Lupano

2. The Incredible Nellie Bly: Journalist, Investigator, Feminist, and Philanthropist by Luciana Cimino
