Anyone in the mood for an entertaining, moving and uplifting novella on ageing would do well to try Three Legs in the Evening by American author Bette Ann Moskowitz, whose style is reminiscent of Anne Tyler. 4.5★s /review/show...
See Me Fall, the next book in Susan Wilkins's Jo Boden series, is another excellent British crime thriller. 5★s/review/show...
4 stars for historical fiction
The Three Lives of Alix St Pierre by Aussie Author Natasha LesterMy review: /review/show...
Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett
An enjoyable fantasy. If you like folklore, memorable characters, and fun banter mixed with somewhat dark scenes, this is the one.

Lest We Forgive by AA Phillipa Nefri Clark, the start of a brand new mystery/suspense series/review/show...
Daniella Mestyanek Young has written a much-discussed story of her life in 'cults' - first a supposedly religious one, and then the US Army. The colourful cover art of
Uncultured: A Memoir
should be reflected in the print title as "UnCULTured". Quite a story.
4� My review of UnCULTured (my spelling)
All the Devils Are Here by Louise Penny is one of the best in her Inspector Gamache series, even though it's set in Paris without the characters from Three Pines.review: /review/show...

Genevieve Gaunt's narration of The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell really brings this wonderful historical fiction read to life. 5★s/review/show...
What Remains of Elsie Jane, the debut novel by Canadian author, Chelsea Wakelyn is a very different read. 4★s/review/show...
I read this Canadian novel for our monthly challenge and found it really interesting. 
No Great Mischief by Alistair MacLeodreview: /review/show...
Oh, how I love finding a new favourite book!
Norwegian by Night
by Derek B. Miller is a compassionate thriller, if there even is such a thing. Great read!

Mullumbimby is an award-winning contemporary fiction by Indigenous Australian author Melissa Lucashenko. It features smart and sassy Jo Breen who finally achieves her dream of owning a property in her ancestral Bundjalung country only to run into problems with the neighbours, her horses, her teenage daughter, and last but not least, the handsome new bloke in town who is putting together a controversial Land Rights claim. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ here is my review
The Witches of Vardø by Anya Bergman
I had expected this to work far better for me. :(

The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding by Australian author Holly Ringland is a magical book set in Tasmania, Copenhagen and the Faroe Islands. It covers Indigenous stories, Nordic mythology, selkies and fairytales as Esther tries to piece together what happened to her sister Aurora and what the seven verses tattooed on her back meant. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ here is my review
Miss Benson's Beetle by Rachel Joyce undoubtedly has wide appeal, but just a 'good' read for me./review/show...
Becoming Ted is only my second book by British author Matt Cain, but I will definitely be seeking out more of his work. 5 big ★s for this one!/review/show...
I loved AA Shelley Burr's debut novel
Wake. A very original approach to a cold case investigation of a missing child in the Australian outback.review: /review/show...
