This year I'm trying to add a bit of diversity to my reading. I thought this was important as I often use reading to explore issues, cultures, and time periods that I would have little contact with in my real life. A Deadly Divide, the fifth book in the Rachel Getty & Esa Khattak series, features two Canadian officers with Community Policing. Their mandate is to work with minority groups.

The Day My Kisses Tasted Like Disorder by Emanuella Hristova ~ a Review
by MK French
Emanuella's book is a collection of poetry written over the course of a very tumultuous year. A romantic relationship began and ended, and her sister died. The poems were a way to cope with all of the emotions. She also has a website and an Instagram account.

2 Well Done Novellas
by Susan Roberts
I don't read many short stories because I prefer novels where the characters and action can be better explained. I have read two novellas recently that were very well done and very interesting.
Definition of Novella: A novella is a text of written, fictional, narrative prose normally longer than a short story but shorter than a novel, somewhere between 17,500 and 40,000 words. The English word "novella" derives from the Italian novella, feminine of novello, which means "new".

Ascension by E.A. Weston ~ a Review
by MK French
Reagan Lunasa had gone between the human and fairy world of Avalon and is determined to help her true love, the prince of Avalon. There is still doubt about their bond because of her humanity, as well as the risk of other fairies actually working for Connor to help him keep the throne. It's going to be a question of war, and she's determined to help.

The Hiding Place by C.J. Tudor ~ a Review
by Susan Roberts
"Even before stepping into the cottage, Gary knows that this is bad.
It's the sickly-sweet smell drifting out through the open door, the flies buzzing around, the sticky, hot hallway and, if that isn't a dead giveaway that something about this house is not right, not right in the worst possible way, then the silence confirms it." Prologue, pg 1

Love of Finished Years by Gregory Erich Phillips ~ a Review
by MK French
Elsa came to New York in the early 1900's for opportunities and knew she could only rely on herself to make a new life. She worked in a Manhattan sweatshop and soon had the opportunity to work for a wealthy family on Long Island. This introduces her to the world of the elites right before the precarious entry into the Great War.
