You know I’ve read a lot of these. I don’t understand why Brendan Slocum doesn’t get more love. I’ve enjoyed both of his books I read and if it hadn’t been for you, I would have missed out on them. Nice list, Carol.
Thanks Carla! I just read his new release and Symphony of Secrets is still my fav! What an interesting story! His new one is about super heroes which might interest others more!
I didn’t realize he had a new one coming out. I will have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up, Carol.
It’s The Dark Maestro
I have added it to my TBR shelf, but now have to get my hands on a copy.
Sipsworth was a good read.
So memorable! 🙌
I haven’t heard of any of these! Stuck to the upcoming books topic this week for once lol
Our Venn diagrams have the slimmest of overlaps! Thanks for taking one for the team this week! 🙌😂 hopping over to read your post….
It’s usually in the historical fiction area when you have one in a time period I focus on 😂
🙌
I like this twist on this week’s theme. The only one I’ve read is A Symphony of Secrets which I enjoyed so I’ll have to check the others out.
I’m happy to hear we both enjoyed Symphony and its memorable character!
I think I’ve only read the 9/11 book from your list. I’m intrigued by Sipsworth.
Save Sipsworth for a brain break!
Glad you highlight these as I had never seen them before.
Then they definitely need more hype! 🙌
Definitely agree about The Ladies Rewrite the Rules — loved it! And The Day the World Came to Town is such a stellar, powerful book. I love seeing it included!
Thanks Lisa!
I haven’t heard of most of these, which just proves your point about them needing more hype! I do love THE DAY THE WORLD CAME TO TOWN. It’s such a heartwarming, hopeful read. We need more of those.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Did you see the Broadway musical based on the book?
Oh, yes! I love underhyped and underrated books. Bonus if I haven’t heard of the author before but when I read it, it’s binge-worthy. I’m checking out this list. Thank you!
My pleasure! I hope you find something you enjoy! 🙌📚
Love and Lavender looks amazing! I’ll have to check it out 🙂

Hi, Carol – Thank you for sharing these reads. I haven’t read any of these books yet, but I did recently see the play ‘Come from Away’ which is based on the book ‘The Day the World Came to Town.’ The play was absolutely mesmerizing!
Yes! I love the musical! 🙌
