Carolyn | 9898 comments My Name Is Lucy Barton (Amgash, #1) by Elizabeth Strout My Name Is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout is first in her Amgash series (and one I should have read before her later ones. It's a simple, moving, beautifully rendered character study.

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 743 comments Two children's books. One hit, one flop.

The Hit: Super Great Kids' Stories: From storytellers around the world by Kim Normanton
Super Great Kids' Stories From storytellers around the world by Kim Normanton
Probably one of the best compilations I have read of folktales and fables from around the world. An excellent bedtime companion and gift option.

The Flop: Disney Manga: Tangled by Shiori Kanaki
Disney Manga Tangled by Shiori Kanaki
Better to stick to the animated movie.

The Michaelmas Daisy by Paul Marriner
A contemporary fiction narrated from the point of view of a ghost. Could have been great had I liked the narrator. But the remaining characters saved the day.

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 743 comments Two contemporary middle-grade books. These are companion novels to each other, but can be read in any order as standalones. Unfortunately, the dog doesn't have that big a role to play, despite what the cover promises.

Nesting by Roisín O’Donnell
An Irish literary fiction, this has one of the best portrayals of an abusive relationship. Excellent for a debut work.

The Banned Bookshop of Maggie Banks by Shauna Robinson
A contemporary romance with an annoying main character. You might like the book better if you can tolerate her.

Careless People A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism by Sarah Wynn-Williams
For those who still think that social media is beneficial. I'd have liked this better had the author been more transparent and unbiased.
