Bettyville by George Hodgman. A memoir of a man moving back to his hometown of Paris, MO to care for his elderly mother. Quite enjoyable.

St. Mazie by Jamie Attenberg. Mazie is the "Queen of the Bowery" in 1920's New York. Another good one.

The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart. An oldie, I just got around to the 1st in this Arthurian saga. Loved it.

In the Unlikely Event by Judy Blume. I love Judy, and wanted to love this book more than I actually did.

The Valhalla Exchange by Harry Patterson/George Higgins. Another older, but a well-told thriller.

Uprooted by Naomi Novik. If you enjoy fairy tale re-tellings, you will enjoy this. Excellent reviews.

A few more, both old and new that I either gave up on or in one case (The Summer of the Barshinkys) had the single most unsatisfying ending I have ever read.

I am also in the process of reading/re-reading the Agatha Christie Poirots and Marples. I had to take a break, they were starting to blend together!
