Under the Maui Sky by Kellie Coates Gilberthttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Quiet Librarian by Allen Eskens
A dual-timeline mystery, with the historical timeline being focussed on the Bosnian war. Triggering content, but great storyline. My first book by this author, and it won't be the last.

A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna
Not as good as her debut adult cozy fantasy, but a nice entertainer nonetheless.

The second book in Nolan Chase's Ethan Brand series, A Lonesome Place for Murder: An Ethan Brand Mystery, Book 2 is even better than the first, and Kevin T Collins narration is excellent. More please! 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I may be in the wrong demographic for Allison King's debut novel, The Phoenix Pencil Company: it just didn't grab me the way I'd hoped. 3.5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
His Last Letter
by Tanya Curran by Tanya Curran and my review.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This is a curious short story of seduction by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, The Professor and the Siren. It's either inspired by, or a retelling of, some old myths. I've never read Lampedusa before.
My review of The Professor and the Siren with a link to where you can read it for yourself.
Acclaimed Irish author John Boyne can write about almost anything, I think. In A History of Loneliness, he introduces a wonderful boy who grows up with a calling to the priesthood, where he becomes a wonderful man. But he discovers not everyone in the Church is cut from the same cloth.

With Winter Comes Darkness by AA Robbi Neal I started reading this a second time because I hadn't reviewed it and didn't think I'd read it. I did start to remember the plot but it's so good, it deserved a second reading and this time I've added a review.
