I have just started Mister Owita's Guide to Gardening: How I Learned the Unexpected Joy of a Green Thumb and an Open Heart by Carol Wall. It is non-fiction and I am enjoying the story so far - Carol Wall is writing about how she meets Giles Owita, but is also writing about her life past and present.

sometimes you get a lot more than what you paid for! On Tues I got Mrs Queen Takes the Train by William Kuhn for $1, and I needed a fun read so I started it yesterday. Plenty of LOL in this one, as good as The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett but with more depth and longer, so more of it to enjoy!! I'm very pleased with my purchase......

About to start Stardust by Neil Gaiman... finally!

And I continue forth with The Republic by Plato. Interesting, if not misguided, stuff.

I don't mind tossing my coin for whomever needs it;) I hope you enjoy my pick for you:)

[Sharon]

Thanks for the coin toss, Brenda and I'm sure I'll enjoy The Girl in the Yellow Vest.
Don't apologise for reading that's far more important :)

[Bronwyn]

There are some interesting reads there. I have just finished The Spare Room by Helen Garner and I found it rather moving a quite a good read. I think it will make for a good discussion at our book club meet this week.

I find that I have not been reading a lot lately as I don't seem to quite have the time and I can no longer read for hours in bed just before going to sleep.

I am going to try a little harder this month to read some more.

There have been some interesting stories recently on this discussion list.

I haven't read any of her books (shame on me)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I hadn't read any until recently either Sharon:) We can't "find" all the authors out there all the time - we must take it slowly;)

[Sharon]

Brenda wrote: "I hadn't read any until recently either Sharon:) We can't "find" all the authors out there all the time - we must take it slowly;)"

Yes very true :) And there are so many Aussie authors :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

There certainly are! It's horrible to think I didn't read Aussie authors about 3 years ago:)

[Sharon]

Yes that is horrible lol. I've always read a few but not like I am now and of course being in this group helps :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

That's right. The National Year of Reading basically started it for me..2012 :)

[Sharon]

That's good :)

[Jackmeister]

I'm reading by Gene Hackman the actor and I had no idea he was writing books until I stumbled across it.

She is a fabulous writer - I have this one on my TBR pile and it is near the top so will read it soon. Being brought up in Nigeria I can relate to so much that she writes.

A great review too :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I've just started reading The Mystery of a Hansom Cab by Fergus Hume

[Mish]

I've read and reviewed The Weight of Blood which is released today. Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Just finished Falling by Emma Kavanagh - 5 Stars, amazing debut novel but not one to read before a plane flight - to be reviewed on publication date, 27th March

Now I'm reading Shotgun Lovesongs: A Novel by Nickolas Butler

[Michele]

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

Can see why you said not one to read before a plane flight, Mish.

Oh Dale it gave me the shivers. I've only seen movies about plane crashes, never read a book about it but this author captures the feelings and motion so well, it was frightening - and also the events that follow.

[Dale]

It took me long enough, like most of my life to get on a plane. Think I'd better give it a miss.LOL
