I did listen to the Stephanie Scott book and liked parts of it. I guess I didn’t read many debuts this year …. but I did read Danler’s novel Sweetbitter from a couple years ago … and if that was a debut from this year … I would have picked that one!

If you like WWII historical fiction, The Yellow Birds Sings will be great for you. It’s a different take on the genre. And yes to Valentine. It and another I’m struggling over which to name as my best debut of the year.

Sounds like you’re drowning in books. Not a bad thing. Happy holidays, Madeline!

I’ll have to add Valentine to my list for 2021. It sounds great and might make for a good book group selection.

Take care!

Not surprisingly, I really only enjoyed one: A Knock at Midnight. That was a well told and (sadly) eye-opening (true) story.

I’ve seen a lot about What’s Left of Me Is Yours and it sounds interesting. But I’ve got six checked out, a couple dozen on hold and a long list of “when I get time.” I just might have to make the same deal Addie did!

Wow is the perfect word for Valentine. I thought it was fantastic. You are so right that it would make a wonderful movie or series.

Thanks, Monica. I always love trying new authors, too.

Thanks, Diane. I’m doing well. How about you?

My debut reading is down, but i think it’s because I’ve done so much more backlist and nonfiction reading.It’s that time of year when I’m reading and reading, but not thinking about reviewing. Kind of nice!
