Better late than never.

Even the Good Girls Will Cry: A ’90s Rock Memoir by Melissa Auf der Maur (interesting story, lots of detail and bonus French Canadian content)

In Her Defense by Philippa Malicka (not bad but meandering)

The Other Lola by Ripley Jones (ok)

Kids, Wait Till You Hear This! Liza Minnelli as told to Michael Feinstein (must watch Liza with a Z—currently on Tubi—and read this)

Strangers in the Villa by Robyn Harding (don’t let strangers stay in your house)

If You’re Seeing This, It’s Meant for You by Leigh Stein (interesting idea but felt it was written for children)

Strange Buildings by Uketsu with Jim Rion (Translator) (a one trick pony)

Phases by Brandy (good until she kind of glosses over the last 20 years)

Nine Lives by Catherine Steadman (fun)

The New Neighbour by Valerie Keogh (cute elderly side characters)

Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke (even if you hate your subject, you should do basic research and give us a scrap of motivation)

Our Beautiful Mess by Adele Parks (mess indeed)

The Perfect Life by Valerie Keogh (ok)

It’s Not What You Think by Clare Mackintosh (good twists but now she’s stuck with a lot of sugared almonds)

The Only One Who Knows by Lisa M. Matlin (fun idea but a little slow. Interesting Australian fishing subplots)

Last One Out: A Novel by Jane Harper (also slow but the mining town aspect was interesting)

The Wolf Tree by Laura McCluskey (slow to start but not bad)

Everything and Nothing by Araminta Hall (rushed ending)

The Truth About Ruby Cooper by Liz Nugent (repetitive)

Spoiled Milk: A Novel by Avery Curran (good until the end when there were suddenly zombies??)

Never Coming Home by Hannah Mary McKinnon (obvious twist but fun concept)

The Caretaker by Marcus Kliewer (bad, bad, bad)

Pretty Dead Things by Kelsey Cox (cute)

Molka by Monika Kim (ending seemed rushed)

Everyone in This Bank Is a Thief by Benjamin Stevenson (way too long)

Happiness Included: Jan Brady and Beyond by Eve Plumb (really scattered and a little odd)
