This is a rivetingly beautiful book which I think will haunt me for some time. See my review of MULE BOY by Andrew Krivak: https://t.co/mYOHAj5QRB

The book touches on some important issues; I just wish the execution were more polished. See my review of #Dandelion by Jamie Chai Yun Liew at https://t.co/Qw6H2VpTSA

This is not a bad book and it will certainly leave readers questioning, but there are some elements that feel contrived. See my review of #HowtoGetAwaywithMurder by Rebecca Philipson (New Release - #NetGalley): https://t.co/L1l8UK2MyS

This sheds light on women’s rights (or lack thereof) in the 1960s, on the conditions in reformatories, and on the treatment (or lack thereof) of mental illness. See my review of #LibertyStreet by Heather Marshall (New Release - #NetGalley): https://t.co/zOqQDjdJpY

The prose is engaging, but there are too many tangential stories. Though entertaining in parts, the plot’s arc is predictable and the ending too neat. See my review of #MoreThanEnough by Anna Quindlen (New Release - #NetGalley): https://t.co/N70jrFGATW

This is an emotionally exhausting psychological drama about domestic abuse. See my review of #Adrift by Will Dean (New Release - #NetGalley): https://t.co/hPsWmMFEMp

I very much enjoyed this book. It has beautiful prose, engaging characters, and thematic depth. See my review of #Kin by @tayari (New Release - @NetGalley): https://t.co/KOq2gTBxfL

This novella, a translation from Estonian, is an examination of the emotional aftermath of a woman’s escaping a toxic relationship. See my review of #TheCutLine by Carolina Pihelgas (New Release - @NetGalley): https://t.co/bbyC78zbWo

Much in this novel is unsettling because of its realistic depiction of our times; the possible consequences hypothesized are certainly not far-fetched. See my review of #TheHope by Paul E. Hardisty from @OrendaBooks: https://t.co/5P6r2TtqFQ

The book highlights the effects of trauma, racism, homophobia, Islamophobia, and xenophobia. The author suggests that Trump’s first term contributed to these problems in society. See my review of #MissingSam by Thrity Umrigar (New Release - @NetGalley): https://t.co/w3p5XIVP4a

The author claims this is his last book. I hope it's not, but if it is, it's a good one to mark the end of his career. See my review of #Departures by Julian Barnes (New Release - @NetGalley): https://t.co/IsnZ0zZ6TK

The book is sometimes an uncomfortable read because the reader knows things cannot end well, but it is very thought-provoking and so I have to recommend it. See my review of #GoodGuys by Sharon Bala (New Release - @NetGalley): https://t.co/GRE53Qu950

I’m afraid this slow-paced novel about spiritual quests was not for me. See my review of #EvelynInTransit by David Guterson: https://t.co/bvdkUCY2NM

Coming from a professional reviewer, this means a lot to me: "I’m picky about opinions I trust. . . . I discovered Doreen Yakabuski . . . IMHO, she’s the most insightful book reviewer you’ve never heard of—and now you have." ( https://t.co/DenLy09iHp)

This book relies on the trope of “a storm is coming” in both a literal and figurative sense. See my review of #TheStorm by Rachel Hawkins (New Release - #NetGalley): https://t.co/XEcce6wFSs

Anyone who grew up reading Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys novels will enjoy this book. It’s witty and entertaining but also possesses some thematic depth. See my review of #TheNancys by R.W.R. McDonald from @OrendaBooks: https://t.co/BtdvbpiqSN
