| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  Jacqueline Winspear's In This Grave Hour: A Maisie Dobbs Novel is this week's starred fiction title. "Winspear’s compelling series entry feels very timely in light of our current political climate over issues of refugees and immigration. Fans will line up to get this installment, but it also serves as a good introduction for new readers." Around the Way Girl: A Memoir, by Taraji P. Henson and Deneen Miller, is this week's starred audiobook. "An absorbing read that is more than the typical celebrity memoir. Highly recommended." Paco Roca's The Lighthouse is this week's starred graphic novel. "Anyone can pick up this volume and enjoy it slowly. Roca’s art shines brightest, pulling readers into his world, but it’s Francisco’s and Telmo’s friendship that will haunt them." And in e-originals, Ann Marie Walker's Black Tie Optional is "sweet, funny, steamy, and at times laugh-out-loud funny.... This latest from Walker (coauthor of the 'Chasing Fire' series) is an entertaining and fun read—a sort of Fifty Shades of Grey–lite."
