I just finished A Good Day for Chardonnay
Good fun! Here’s a link to my four star review:

I finished Holly Chamberlin's Barefoot in the Sand.Blending a beach read's carefree writing with powerful prose, the shore's rocky past and present collide. The mark of a good book is that you can't put it down while not wanting it to end. This sizzling read is 'shore' to heat up summer.

Loved Hume's Haven Point Three stories, two wars but there's only one Haven Point. Weaving the past with the present, Virginia Hume pens a multi-generational tale of women struggling against society's expectations and finding the courage to step out from its shadows.

A road trip to track down an unknown father and perform at an international comedy festival. What could possibly go wrong? The Funny Thing About Norman Foreman by Julietta Henderson follows twelve-year-old Norman, his mother, and an old codger to the Edinburgh Fringe. Don't trust me - many readers just loved this one!

A Little Bit of Courage is all you need to fly high! Author/illustrator Claire Alexander created cute little "Ploofers" to show kids how to learn to be brave.
5★ Link to my review of A Little Bit of Courage with many illustrations
South Australian author Garry Disher's recent book Consolation is my favourite kind of writing. Perfect for place, plot, and people. This is rural Australia where crooks think they can get away with murder. 
4.5~5★ Link to my review of Consolation
Currently reading The Book of Accidents, and boy is it strange!
I'm reading "The House Guests" by Emilie Richards. It's so good that I'm taking my time as I don't want it to end! 
The House Guests by Emilie Richards Get ready for a read that has house guests checking in as strangers and becoming family.

Dear Santa by Debbie Macomber Debbie Macomber fans, 'Dear Santa' is a Christmas present you can unwrap early this year. After a difficult year, we have reason to celebrate and Macomber provides the 'write' way to 'Tis the season.

Derek B. Miller has given Sheldon Horowitz, his elderly protagonist from Norwegian by Night, a great back story in How to Find Your Way in the Dark. Sheldon wants to kill his father's murderer, but he's only 12. Loved it!

Here's my 5 star review of
The Guilt Trip by Sandie JonesSandie Joneshttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Looking forward to starting 'A Woman of Intelligence' and celebrating A Magical New York City Christmas' in July!
I knew I'd enjoy Elizabeth Strout's latest book, Oh William!, and I was right. She knows people inside and out, and it is a delight to be caught up in her stories. This is Lucy Barton's memoir, but you don't need to have read My Name Is Lucy Barton first. It's a standalone.
5★ Link to my Oh, William review
I'm a fan of picture books that will prompt ongoing conversations between grown-ups and children. Together Again: A Story About Joy by Kochka is about a little boy who's about to burst with anticipation!
4.5★ Link to my review of Together Again with several of the exuberant illustrations
Definitely the best read of 2021 for me:
The Rising Tide by Sam Lloyd https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...
Just finished this great family drama/mystery, also available EW and NetGalley
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My Name is Anton by Catherine Ryan Hyde will be enjoyed by her fans. I also think younger readers would like this story of a young man in love.
3★ Link to my review of My Name is Anton
I must read more Jeffery Deaver! I enjoyed his latest Amazon Original Story, Cause of Death, which could easily have been developed into a novel. While the title may not be unique, the cause of death certainly is. 
5★ Link to my review of Cause of DeathAvailable for request until the 29th of July.

There's something magical about New York City at Christmastime. 
My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I loved Akwaeke Emezi's debut novel, Freshwater, but I think other readers will enjoy The Death of Vivek Oji more than I did. Love, sex, acceptance.
3.5★ Link to my . . . Vivek Oji review
Haven't started it just yet, but I'll be focusing on:
I loved John Boyne's latest novel, a satire about The Echo Chamber that is Twitter. The Cleverley family is less than clever, but oh, so funny, as they learn what being cancelled means.
4.5~5★ Link to my Echo Chamber review

'Undoing the Liberal World Order: Progressive Ideals and Political Realities Since World War II' by Leon Fink. Highly academic research into free market and labour unions. I had to additionally read an interview with the author to better undestand the idea of the book. Def., not for general readers
I'm reading Wish You were Here by Jodi Picoult. What happens when you're stranded on vacation without access to money or housing during the pandemic?
