I really enjoyed Defy Me because it had a good mix of action, romance, and emotional moments. The story answered some questions from the earlier books while introducing new mysteries that kept me interested. I also liked getting to see different characters' points of view because it helped me understand them better. The ending was exciting and made me want to start the next book right away. Overall, I thought Defy Me was a fun and engaging read, and it's one of my favorite books in the series so far.

Another wonderful, engrossing novel by one of my favorite authors, Jean Grainger. This is the sequel to If These Walls Could Talk. It takes place in two timelines, 1920 and the present. Jeannie, who gave up her baby daughter Orla 50 years ago, returns to Ireland with her grandson to try to reconnect. A hundred years ago we meet Billy and his mom, British citizens, who have become involved in the IRA's resistance movement against the British occupation. Grainger weaves both stories together very skillfully. Her characters are very relatable and human.

The Nobel Prize in Literature winner, Herta Muller, writes about what it was like to grow up and become a writer in Romania under the communist dictator, Ceausescu. Under constant threat of, and interrogations by, the secret police; living in a country where every friend could be a spy and where every interaction could lead to arrest and imprisonment -- Muller vividly conveys the repressive fear that gripped the country. In a question-and-answer format, the book also shares Muller's thoughts on memory and the process of writing. A powerful book.

Three women: Val, Alex, and June meet at Hamilton Dog Park in Maryland, outside Washington, D.C. Two of them are not who they seem. This very well-written often funny novel satirizes the dog people and their pets. Very colorful characters. Highlights themes of friendship and secrets withheld from friends. Also emotionally abusive marriages. The ending is very cinematic.
