Black Woods, Blue Sky by Eowyn Ivey
Loved this Alaskan literary fiction. Don't read it as a 'Beauty & the Beast' retelling though some blurbs have tagged it as such.

I was caught offguard by this surprising little short story, The Curfew Tolls by Stephen Vincent Benét. It's available free online, and I've included the link in my review. It's a quick read - give it a go. 😊
My review of The Curfew Tolls
Regency England is often depicted as romantically glamorous, but Viscount Sebastian St Cyr's investigation of shadowy murders and his wife Hero's research into the abject poverty of the time, show a very different picture. C.S. Harris writes THE best historical mysteries. Who Speaks for the Damned is terrific.
My review of Who Speaks for the Damned
Something Like Home – Andrea Beatriz Arango – 4****
This is a moving novel in verse written for middle-school-age children, dealing with foster care. As the novel opens, Laura is en route to her aunt’s apartment, accompanied by a social worker from DSS. My heart broke for Laura. But she is a resilient child, clearly intelligent but confused by her situation. When she finds a neglected and abandoned puppy, however, she begins to open up to the court-appointed guardian and to her aunt and insists that they listen to her point of view when formulating a plan for her care. Brava, Laura!

The Housemaid – Freida McFadden – 4****
Wow. Millie Calloway is homeless when she arrives at the pristine, large suburban home with a gated entrance. She desperately needs the job as a live-in maid. But, Nina is completely unstable. She’s ranting and raving one minute, sweet as pie the next. Her daughter Cecelia is a spoiled brat. Her husband, Andrew, is loving and long-suffering. There were several twists and turns in this tale of intrigue. Who really is the unstable person here? This was gripping and I read it in one day.
