From everything I've heard/read it is an incredibly underrated/unknown gem, so hopefully I enjoy it.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show..."

Bette, thanks for the recommendation! So I knew I'd seen this book at Salvos somewhere recently, there it was at Salvos Dapto for $6. So it's on your head! I've read, by Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love, andCommitted: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage and The Last American Man, and I thought your description of EPL (turnip) was very apt, so I am trusting you on this one!

[Marianne]

One of my book club friends put me onto J.R. Ward, and I've enjoyed all the BDB series, now onto the 5th book in the Fallen Angels series, just picked up my reserved copy at the library, Possession: a Novel of the Fallen Angels, very addictive.....

Am I right to assume you're reading all three parts, which conclude in Oath of Gold? To get a proper perspective, it's important to read all three, I think.

Bette, your review made me laugh. I haven't read it and probably wouldn't have, but it's a definite no now. :)

Review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show..."

I loved The Rehearsal too Michael. It's one of my favourite books so far this year. I enjoyed the way the two strands of the novel, the drama school and the music lessons, wove around each other to eventually join up. It's a very sophisticated book for such a young author. I'm looking forward to reading The Luminaries when I can get hold of a copy.

I read The Midwife's Confession by Diane Chamberlain

My review is at: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Vicki]

Morning, Bette!

Does sound rather soap opera-ish. (I read the spoiler, :))

[Marianne]

Morning Bette and Vicki! Funny, isn't it, I loved this one....

[Vicki]

Morning, Marianne. It'd be a boring world if we all liked the same things. :)

Marianne wrote: "Morning Bette and Vicki! Funny, isn't it, I loved this one...."

Hi:) I guess I had the grim reality of Necessary Lies still stuck with me. Compared to that, 'Midwives' was just a plain fiction.

[Diane]

I am about 50 pages into "Seductive Cinema" by
James Card. I had read it many years ago but I
was still surprised to find a really churlish
review of it so I started to read it again. My
main comment is "did the reviewer even read the
same book". She was very miffed that no foreign
films were given respect but Card is crediting
the foreign film-makers with a lot of the innovations
that D.W. Griffith claimed.

Yup!

Woo hoo! Just got a "like" and a comment from the author on my review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... !!! That's the second "like" by an author on my review of their book: I got a "like" from Derek B. Miller on Norwegian by Night . I must be doing something right!

I have just read your review and it made me add the book to my TBR list so I can see why the author would "like" it!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I have just finished Aussie author Joanne van Os' new release Ronan's Echo. A huge 5 stars from me! I hope I have done the book justice in my review - it was a hard one to write, to be able to convey how much it meant to me.
