This book just keeps reappearing and I know Bette, whose reviews I value has recommended it highly. I may have to take a closer look at this one and eagerly await your views on it Brenda.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes it was Bette who recommended it to me too Elaine:)

Finished The Goldfinch a couple of days ago but only got around to writing the review (and I typically don't start a new book before writing a review for the previous one!). FIVE STARS - I enjoyed it, it's a masterpiece and instant classic for me. Here is my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

do you have a special place for buying them Marianne? i.e. cheaper than the online sites;)


No, Brenda, online is probably the best you can do. I just happen to have picked some up cheaply, brand new at Salvos and Smith Family, so now I always keep my eyes open for them at charity shops. I guess these were gifts someone didn't want.....

It was a five star book for me too, beautifully written and a lovely story. However I think you have to like fantasy as a genre to really appreciate it.

[B the BookAddict]

It has been the second fantasy book for me and I was 'in like flynn'. Loved it.

Thanks, Sally. The crucifix comment in my review could be a tad harsh but I can say Romance novels do irritate me. It is a very good book.

I picked up The Scottish Prisoner by Diana Gabaldon which is 3rd in the Lord John Grey series. This is to tide me over till Voyager becomes available.

I'm not too sure myself at the moment. But it has Jamie Fraser in it so I've kept reading. I have a bit of a literary crush on Jamie :P

My favourtite Lord John book, mainly yes because it has Jamie in it :)
But I have become a bit of a Lord John fan after reading this & Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade the other full length Lord John story.

I think Lord John had a crush on Jamie too :) And it wasn't literary.
