Reading journals (download your free reading tracker below!)
Do you keep a reading journal? I’ve been on Goodreads for years, and even before that I used to keep a list of the books I’d read each year on my old blog. But lately I’ve been seeing a lot of beautiful reading journals on YouTube, and their artistic nature appeals to the scrapbooker in me.
I’ve always had trouble remembering much of what I’ve read. Plot details blur together, and once I’ve fin

Wow! What a ride of a book! I picked it up because of that dynamite premise--a mother sees her son murder someone in the street, but when she wakes up the next morning, it's the day before, and the murder hasn't happened--and it did not disappoint. Je ...more |

| This is a hard book to categorise--is it cosy mystery? chick lit? something more serious?--but it doesn't matter. Whatever it is, it's a good read, with some fascinating characters and an entertaining whodunit question to be answered. Melbourne and t ...more | |

Marianne's review
of
Starter Dog: My Path to Joy, Belonging and Loving This World:
"Starter Dog is a memoir by Canadian author, Rona Maynard. Considering that her husband Paul has always been a dog lover, it’s unusual that they’ve managed to reach the age of sixty-three before he suggests to Rona that they get a dog.

“Throw the word “bargain” around a few times, and people will swarm the tiredest old dreck like bees in search of a new hive. Or maybe locusts, ready to strip the place bare. They even buzzed like swarming insects. Voices raised in conversation and laughter, plus the occasional shrieks of a tired child, formed a background roar that still failed to drown out the tired tinkle of Christmas music piped over the top. I’d only been here ten minutes and already I’d heard White Christmas twice. Two times too many in my book.”

“Bet Boss wouldn’t be pleased about the sunnies thing. Making yourself look like a tosser was a personal choice, of course, but it meant Sunnies Dude stood out from the crowd. Despite the heat and glare outside, no one else in here wore sunglasses. What did they teach these guys in spy school? Didn’t he know he should be trying to blend in?”

“So I had a look, in case it was full of white powder, or hundred dollar bills, or something equally dodgy. I may not care about much any more but no money on earth would get me to deliver drugs. But I couldn’t even tell what it was—a roughly disk-shaped piece of shiny hard something. It didn’t look like any plastic I’d ever seen, and there was nothing written on it, nothing to explain why anyone would give a toss who received such a thing. But clearly someone did.”
