Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
NOTE: The 4 stars was not in any way about the book not being "recommendable"...the rating came from the length of the story that could/should have been longer...and issues that could have been better handled.
The Language of Love and Other Stories by Nancy Christie
The cover might be a bit drab, but the stories in the "love" collection hold much magic. A great option for short story readers.

The School Run by AA Ali Lowe, especially the way competing to get their boys into a prestigious school brought out the worst in their mothers! Perfectly paced with some excellent twists.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
For any fans of American professional football, especially those with young kids they hope will become fans, I'm happy to recommend the brand new Patrick Mahomes children's biography by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. His Kansas City Chiefs are headed to the Super Bowl again in a few weeks!

Lady Tan’s Circle of Women – Lisa See – 4****
See based this work of historical fiction on a real woman physician in 15th century China, Tan Yunxian. What a fascinating woman, and a marvelous story! I learned much about the lives of the wealthier, highly educated class in this era of Chinese history, in particular the secluded lives of the women in this class. See gave us glimpses of the world outside the compound’s walls through the experiences of a midwife who lived in the town and was free to travel.
