Pippa Fitz-Amobi is on the case again in this fantastic sequel! ‘Good girl, bad blood’ begins soon after the events in the previous book. These events are creatively recapped using the various media elements I now associate with this series. Much to my delight, new media elements like the AGGGTM podcast and online articles are even introduced in this book.

MISTBORN: THE FINAL EMPIRE by Brandon Sanderson
I had been told that the correct way to start Brandon Sanderson’s works is with the Mistborn series. As the first book in the original trilogy, ‘Mistborn: The Final Empire’ is an epic tale deserving of the hype that surrounds this series.

LULLABY by Leїla Slimani
The cover of Lullaby is very striking but simple, with an image of a dress not dissimilar to the one which many of us were forced to wear as children. The quote on the cover catches the eye immediately, causing intrigue as to what the book is about – at least it did for me. “The baby is dead. It took only a few seconds.”

REDEMPTOR by Jordan Ifueko
Wow. Just wow!
Jordan Ifueko did not play around with this sequel!
“You don’t get to choose why people love you. But what you do with the love you receive . . . that’s a choice you make every day.”

DIAL A FOR AUNTIES by Jesse Q. Sutanto
‘Dial A for Aunties’ was a light, fun read filled with lots of drama. Between the murder cover-up, rekindling romance and wedding chaos, there was certainly more than enough to keep me entertained!

RAYBEARER by Jordan Ifueko
‘Raybearer’ is a book I knew I would like right after hearing the author’s dedication: “For the kid scanning fairy tales for a hero with a face like theirs. And for the girls whose stories we compressed into pities and wonders, triumphs and cautions, without asking, even once, for their names.”

56 DAYS by Catherine Ryan Howard
’56 days’ is the first book I have read that is set in this COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, this book puts a magnifying glass on the early days of the pandemic. Catherine Ryan Howard does a great job of capturing the uncertainty and apprehension of that time. While this could potentially be triggering for some readers, in my opinion, it helped make the story even more engaging and realistic.
