Phrynne’s comments from the Aussie Readers group.

Sorry this has happened to you Rowan. I have seen messages from other reviewers on Goodreads when this has happened to them. The advice is usually just don't engage. Delete the author's comments and move on.

Great work Rachel!

Great work Sarah and JP

My Aussie titles so far are

The Burning Rooms by Anni Taylor
The Cottage at Rosella Cove by Sandie Docker
The Good Dog by Simon Rowell

With July already here it's time to reflect on all the books you have read so far this year and try and come up with your top 5 - 10 International books for the 2024 halfway point. By international we mean books written by authors who are not recognised as Australian by either birth or adoption.

The books don't have to be released this year but only to be read. We will have another thread at the end of the year so we can see how many from this list have stood the test of time.

To get things started - here is my list:

Penric’s Demon by Lois McMaster Bujold
The Night House by Jo Nesbø
Red Side Story by Jasper Fforde
The Raging Storm by Ann Cleeves
The Stellar Debut of Galactica MacFee by Alexander McCall Smith
The Story of a Marriage by Andrew Sean Greer
