Emma Rous's New Mystery THE PERFECT GUESTS is Full of Suprises

by Donna Huber

I felt like a needed something different to read after reading a lot of cozy mysteries and WWII fiction. I tought The Perfect Guests would be the perfect choice as it is different than what I've been reading but in a genre that I enjoy (and haven't read much of recently). It looked like it would be a good mystery that could get dark and twisty. I'm happy to say that it was indeed a great palate cleanser.

Leslie Brody Pens New Biography of Harriet the Spy author Louise Fitzhugh

by MK French

Louise Fitzhugh published Harriet the Spy in 1964, creating an antiheroine that was unsentimental yet endearing. This was based largely on her own experiences, as she left segregated Memphis for New York City, spent time in lesbian bars of Greenwich Village, and made friends with the avant-garde writers of the day. At the time of publication, Harriet was seen as “nasty” by critics because she didn’t conform to expectations, even if the children reading the book loved her. Louise was told to hide who she really was in order to further her career. Sometimes You Have to Lie seeks to tell Louise’s genuine story.

Sequels: Malorie and Ready Player Two

by Alison DeLuca

Bird Box was one of my favorite books a few years ago. I love taut thrillers with a simple premise that take readers to new places, and Josh Malerman really delivered.  So when an unexpected sequel showed up, for me it was a no-brainer: Malorie (the sequel) went straight into my Kindle.

A New Romantic WWII Tale from Anita Abriel - LANA'S WAR

by Donna Huber

After reading Anita Abriel's The Light After the War (read my review) last year, I was really looking forward to what she had planned for her next historical fiction story. When I saw Lana's War at Netgalley, I was quick to request it. The writing is wonderful and I loved the characters, which I expected.
