Looking forward to this one especially being a new genre.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I agree - I think it'll be great :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Enough with the Daughter titles though! Don't the authors/publishers worry that in the end the readers won't remember which book is which because they all sound the same?

Heart of the Grass Tree by Molly Murn 5/2/19
A debut novel and a lovely cover, presume it’s contemporary family with some historical??
Only know about it as the author is coming to our local library for a talk soon.

Haha! I thought that when I saw it :)

Totally agree, it's so frustrating to see all these title trends!

For some reason, there is something appealing about The ___'s Daughter. I see I read 3 of them last year, and have about another 4 on my TBR list! I have to admit I probably wouldn't be as drawn in by The ___'s Son, however it's a little bit sad that the authors see their title characters main claim to fame as being whose daughter they are...!

And one of the ones I read last year was The Clockmaker's Daughter, and while I enjoyed the book, in general, it did grate on me that the clockmaker didn't even play enough of a part to warrant a part in the title, in my opinion!

Eight Lives by Susan Hurley 26/3/19
Thriller/ Medical trial
Sounds interesting, have just picked it up on Netgalley as a ‘Read Now’.

For some..."

I wondered a little bit about that title too Kathryn. While I loved the book, and I have certainly remembered the title - which is never a given with me - it is an odd choice.

The clockmaker has nothing too do with the story, the fact that the narrator is his daughter has little enough to do with the plot... Just odd.

I wonder if the author had a different title in mind but was told that this one would be more fashionable.

Is she Aussie Marlin? There's nothing on her profile.

Possibly - but how silly of the publishers, if that's the case!! And the title didn't stick with me! I had to look back through my recently read "daughter" books to see which one it was that had ticked me off with the title choice!

I just did some digging and discovered she is Marlin :)

Yes, I did some digging before I posted as well, as I had never heard of her. Not much info around though.

Hi Brenda, I am an Australian author also from Newcastle! I have just published my first book and was hoping you might be able to advise how I have it featured in this group? Thank you, Nikki

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hi Nikki, welcome to the group and congratulations on your debut! If you head to our Author Spotlight section - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group... - click on "new topic" in the top right hand corner, you can then create your own thread to tell us all about your book.

Our books of the month are nominated and voted on, so you wouldn't be able to have it there (at this stage anyway) but I can add it to our bookshelf for you once you create your own thread. Good luck :)

[[deleted user]]

Thank you Brenda! I appreciate that. I am just learning all about how to use Goodreads as an author instead of as a reader, so thank you for letting me know :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

You're welcome Nikki 😊

Sounds good! Shame it already has a 1-star review just because of the title, though!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

It annoys me so much Krystal! The work the authors put in and then someone does that without even reading it! Quite pathetic really!

[Krystal]

Brenda wrote: "It annoys me so much Krystal! The work the authors put in and then someone does that without even reading it! Quite pathetic really!"

Same, it's so disappointing! I have a specific shelf for books I won't read so no star rating accompanies them. Because even if you don't want to read something, it's unfair to give it one star if you haven't actually read it!

At least her comment makes it obvious she never read it. Hopefully everyone will just ignore her opinion lol

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes, and it needs some 4 or 5 star reviews to bring the rating average up... soon!!!
