Rob’s comments from the Aussie Readers group.

That's September done=Warm
A=Awakening by Sharon J. Bolton.

An other very interesting read from S.J.Bolton 4⭐️

I've just finished this to. Have to agree with Carolyn. Needs to be read with a large pinch of salt. I found myself questioning Dan credentials for being the main protagonist. A part from being needed to dismantle the bomb at the end, which he couldn't do, he seemed to have none of the skills needed to hunt down a megalomaniac that's threatening the worlds environment.
For all that it was still an entertaining read.
3 stars.

Nobody ever thinks about the poor worm:-)

That's not funny Gabrielle it's true. My wife says the same thing about me.:-)

Brenda wrote: "Ooh Rob, you're definitely going to get your Michael Robotham fix this season :) You're linked!"

I have to say Brenda that whilst with this challenge I will be able to scratch my Michael Robotham itch, after this challenge there will be no more Michael Robotham to read until his next publication. How will I survive?
To be continued :-)

G'day Luffy and welcome to the group.

Third and, for me, the last book in this challenge.

Aquaman
*A book that has a blue cover
The Fifth To Die by J.D. Barker.

If sick psycho killers are your thing you will want to read this.
It must be my thing as I gave it 4 stars:-)

Nice one Gabrielle.

Isn't it great when something totally unexpected arrives on your door step. Postie leaves a brown paper package and like a two year old I rip the package to bit to find a signed copy of Scrublands by Chris Hammer.
I stare at it with incredulity, then the penny drops. About a month ago I entered a competition for this very book and low and behold I now have it in my hot little hands.
I feel like a kid on Christmas morning.

Book #2 finished.
Captain America
*Read a book set during WW2;
The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris.

I found this both uplifting and depressing. The setting was beyond depressing but the struggle for love was very uplifting.

As I say in my review " After reading The Secrets She Keeps I am so glad that my life is so boringly mediocre". Five minutes in either of these girls shoes and I would have been certifiable.
There is no getting away from it Michael Robotham knows how to spin a tale.
