2. The Best Daddy of All by Peter Horn
I rarely post review links for picture books, but this one was just outstanding. A great gift option for toddlers' daddies on Father's Day.

I finished The Tenant by Freida McFadden - an intriguing, taut thriller that touches on subjects of revenge, privilege, betrayal and dark secrets that come back to haunt you. 4 Stars My Review.
Here is my 4.09 rounded to 4 stars review of Dead Post Society by Diane Kelly:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Cozy mystery
Great characters, wonderful atmosphere
Diane Kelly is one of my favorite cozy mystery authors
Engaging, clever, and entertaining with great atmosphere
I really enjoyed
The Rewilding by Donna M Cameron, a novel with two young protagonists from different worlds, one an eco-warrior and the other a wealthy city boy, set against a strong message about environmental damage and climate change. Both thoughtful and delightful !review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I always enjoy Richard Russo's stories, and who could resist the lovely old dog on the cover of Somebody's Fool? I could say the dying town of North Bath is going to the dogs, but that would be a poor play on words, especially when it's being absorbed into a wealthier, more upmarket township.
My review of Somebody's Fool
Garry Disher is a favourite Aussie author who writes mysteries with characters I care about. He's also a writing teacher, so you know wyou're in good hands. This one is about searching for clues on old remains Under the Cold Bright Lights of the morgue. The detective is a guy I'd enjoy knowing.
My review of Under the Cold Bright Lights
I like reading about cultures that are foreign to me, so the acclaimed 2017 debut, Stay with Me, by Nigerian writer Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ was exactly what I wanted. A modern young couple is being pressured to produce grandchildren. Having problems? How about you add another wife? We have just the girl - you'll learn to like her.
My review of Stay With Me

The Wind Knows My Name – Isabel Allende – 4****
Allende explores the immigrant experience, and particularly the heart-wrenching separation of children from their parents with a dual timeline: 1938 Austria and 2019 Arizona. My heart broke for both these families. I particularly liked how the two storylines eventually connect, improbable though that may be. It’s an emotionally difficult book to read and made me sad to recognize how little we have learned from history.
