Thank you. And I'll try Ake!

Midnight Riot (Peter Grant #1) which is the USA title for this book,
by Ben Aaronovitch (Goodreads Author) is a well-written paranormal mystery. The author acknowledges there are cultural differences while developing every character and every group humanely and not as a racial stereotype.

Thank you for following my reviews. Your review of 'Homecoming' is excellent. I think you might enjoy Ake by Wole Soyinka.

Thank you for the recommendation Lauren :)

Hi Lauren - thank you for the friend invite! - Marie (Creolecat)

Thanks for the invitation!

Thank you for the Goodreads friend request. I'm happy to accept it.

Greetings, Lauren! Thanks for contacting me, Friend Request Accepted! Congratulations on your book, and kudos for your appeal for writers to edit their work! Inept editing really is becoming a problem these days and I join you in your fight against it! I hope you are well and will have a great week ahead. Happy reading, writing, and everything else. Blessings!

Best wishes from Majenta

Lauren, Thanks for the Goodreads Friends request. Looking forward to sharing good reads with you.

Lauren,
Thank you for your Friend request. I have added your book to my Kindle collection. I haven't been able to read for pleasure for a while now. I involved myself in some volunteer service work and began a 6-month online course. I have only been able to read my textbooks. I look forward to September. That's when I will read for fun again!! Looking forward to following you.

Hi Lauren,

Thanks for friending me! You are one of the most compelling friends I've had being a judge and an author and mother! Very cool! I personally think lawyers make great book authors and novelists. I will have to put your book on my to read list! I love historical fiction too!!!

Thank you for your friend request, Lauren! Looking forward to exchanging thoughts on books in the future.

Thanks for the friend-vite :-)
I look forward to further seeing where our reading tastes mesh.

My literary inspiration is Sharon Draper. She was my high school English teacher at Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati, Ohio. She now is an award winning author of many YA books with themes centered around race and class issues. As a class assignment, we helped her edit her first book, Tears of a Tiger , and in doing that my eyes were opened by this wise, beautiful, inspired teacher. I wanted you to check her out if you haven't heard of her because it sounds like both of you have the same writing interests and Mrs. Draper is an incredible writer whose books appeal to all people.

I also read and review books for authors here on Goodreads. If you ever need or want a book read and reviewed, I do a full, almost one page critical analysis and post it both here and on Amazon. I spent 8 years teaching Litereature and English to 3rd, 4th, and 7th-8th grades. Now I spend my time reading and reviewing books for enjoyment and for authors. I have already added your book to my TBR and am excited to get my hands on it!

Thanks for the friend request from a fellow Buckeye! Have a Blessed day!- Gina
