I just enjoyed Kit de Waal's latest book, The Trick to Time. She's got a good handle on how people work and what keeps them from breaking.

If anyone has followed along with Faith Martin's Hillary Greene Murder Series, the last book Hillary's Final Case
is available as Read Now. I can't believe I am starting the 17th book.....book time really flies. Not sure if I missed this one & it has been posted for a while, but it publishes on November 14th.

Aussie author Caroline Overington is an award-winning investigative journalist, so I knew I'd enjoy her story of a celebrity's missing toddler. The Ones You Trust reveals the ins and outs of publicity vs police.

Finished another older one, only 10 left now.Just Between Us by Rebecca Drake

This brand new children's picture book, My Friend Sleep by Laura Baker, could be help youngsters deal with with some sleep problems. I've included lots of Hannah Peck's artwork.
4★ Link to my review with illustrations
This 55-year-old "lost American classic" has lost none of its power or relevance and certainly does deserve to be republished. A Different Drummer by William Melvin Kelley takes place in a fictitious US State in the Deep South.

Evan Smoak is still answering his phone and asking the desperate callers "Do you need my help?" Well, duh! Of course, that's why were given the secret number of The Nowhere Man! This is #2 in Gregg Hurwitz's action-packed Orphan X series.

The early teens sure can be tricky! Crush, by Svetlana Chmakova, is Awkward #3 in a big comic series for kids in middle school. Covers heaps of issues. My review, with many screen shots:

In My Real Name Is Hanna, author Tara Lynn Masih gives us a "Ukrainian Anne Frank", based on real, terrifying events during WW2. An excellent read for adults and easy enough for YA readers, who should all read it!

Maurice Swift, author, is the thoroughly reprehensible creation of wonderful real author John Boyne in his new book A Ladder to the Sky. I absolutely loved hating him - Maurice, of course, not John!

I absolutely loved hating him ..."I absolutely loved hating Maurice too! Great review. People always ask me when we gather for holiday celebrations what my favorite books were that I read this year. It is always a hard question because I read a lot of really good books. No doubt, A Ladder to the Sky is one I will recommend to anyone and everyone.
Bone Lines by Stephanie Bretherton has an intriguing title, beautiful cover, and interesting premise - how to connect today's researcher (Eloise) with "Sarah's" ancient bones. I wish it had been better executed.
Link to what I found disappointing
This little book is a gem for anyone with worried, anxious kids. Hector's Favorite Place, written and illustrated by Jo Rooks, is not only cute to read but also helpful.Great for schools and doctors' offices, I reckon.
. 5★ Link to my review with picturesSorry that illustrations often don't show in apps.
Lara Hawthorne illustrates Silent Night in her own, unique style. Nice one for the season.

In the 1800s, Americans used to have a competition to see how many birds they could shoot on Christmas Day. Fortunately, that all changed! Have a look at the attractive Counting Birds: The Idea That Helped Save Our Feathered Friends and breathe a sigh of relief!
Link to my review with pictures (You may not see them if you're using the app.)
Ghost Busting Mystery by Daisy Pettles is corny humour and a quick, light "detective" story.
3★ Link to my review with several quirky quotes
Gregg Hurwitz's Hellbent is the third in the Orphan X (Nowhere Man) series. This is my favourite so far.

Sewing the Rainbow: The Story of Gilbert Baker and the Rainbow Flag, by Gayle E. Pitman, shows kids how Gilbert did a Dorothy-Oz move from Kansas to San Francisco, where he was an activist for all the sparkly kids like himself.

The Forbidden DoorMY Review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Did anyone read The Gilded Wolves? I'm looking for reviews to use in a round-up post. I'm struggling to get into The Gilded Wolves. It's a detailed story and my life is too chaotic at the moment for is. I don't care if you liked or hated the story. Of course I'll credit and link back to your blog stories.
Thanks!
