I loved Wool Omnibus and Shift, still have Dust to read. Good to know that Sand Omnibus is also worth reading.... because, like, I've got nothing to read at the moment ;~}

I'm halfway through Ransom by David Malouf. One of my all time favourite books is Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller and since then I read anything I can get my hands on about the Battle of Troy.

How annoying> I have bought a book titled Kitty by Deborah Challinor. Her continuing book can't be found. I have checked in the library. Online don't have it anymore either. There is a 3rd book which the library has but I hate having to skip a book in the series.

Gosh 5 is a lot to remember, but there's nothing wrong with your memory :) I'd have to have a few notes on hand for that many ;)
I need a coin toss please, Brenda :) The Spare Room by Helen Garner or Poppy's Dilemma by Karly Lane
I'm reading Black Roses by Jane Thynneand
Bellagrand: A Novel by Paullina Simons - it's a bit of a dud at the moment. Lots of short choppy sentences which I don't enjoy and it's quite political.
I just finished Dark Witch by Nora Roberts. Not my usual fare but I loved it!

Finished my last book for the Readathon which was Stray Souls by Kate Griffin. I could rave all day about how good it was but actually kept my review quite short!

Thanks Sharon, ah well...you just never know do you? I really wanted to like it but just couldn't get around the hurdles. At least I stuck it out to make sure I wasn't being too picky :-/

This is also a very good review Sharon and it sounds like a real gripping read too...now that's how it should be ;D
Finished reading Cat's Eye, Vol. 2 with a review already done - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Thanks to Angela for convincing me to push Joyland by Stephen King up to the top of my TBR pile! I read it in more or less one sitting during the April read-a-thon and really enjoyed it - not hard core horror as I expected but a good murder mystery 4.5★.
