Lorna Landvik recommends

The Wings That Fly Us Home (2006)
(Aletta Honor, book 2)
Dayna Dunbar
"Dunbar writes with charm and good humor, and in Aletta Honor has created a character you'll remember long after finishing the book."

Evergreen Tidings from the Baumgartners (2018)
Gretchen Anthony
"Meddling matriarch Violet Baumgartner doesn't intend to create drama; she just wants everyone to behave the way they should, which is her way. In writing about this endearing, engaging (and at times, exasperating) family, Gretchen Anthony has created an E-ticket ride of a novel, full of twists and turns, and laughs that don't let up. Whee!"

Sorry I Missed You (2020)
Suzy Krause
"Sorry I Missed You is a ghost story, a mystery and a comedy featuring three mismatched roommates and their feckless landlord who ultimately learn from one another how their own fears have held them back far more than imagined ones. It’s a fun and breezy read."
