My goodness, Brenda, you have been busy. Off to check out your reviews (and hopefully not add any more books to my burgeoning TBR pile). :-)

I read My Notorious Life by Kate Manning after reading Angela in AAB's review. I haven't written a review but it was an 'oh wow' book for me. Highly Recommended 5★

I'm nearly finished The Perfume Collector by Kathleen Tessaro. It's not a bad read but I found myself wishing the author had included more historical fact. A deeper look into the perfume industry and it's production would have been great. There was so much scope she could have used but didn't. It will only be a 3.5★ rating from me.

Hey there, Vicki. Be brave, your tbr is not too bad:) Get in there and go for it!

[Vicki]

Maybe but I've been reading the same book for nearly a month. And it's not the book, it's moi!

I'd recommend Murder in Suburbia: Disturbing Stories from Australia's Dark Heart by Emily Webb to any true crime buff. What's great is that it includes many lower profile cases I hadn't even heard of it. Warning: You will want to check your doors and windows after reading it.

I don't think I'll read this one, Vicki. It sounds like one where you need a brawny man with you.

You have an excuse, Vicki, you are an author yourself so obviously spend time on your own novel. Plus you work, don't you?

Oops...read them out of order;) But it doesn't matter really as they are individual stories, just with the same characters..

I read City of Thieves by David Benioff 5★ Most Highly Recommended

Julie, I should have written a review but didn't. It is definitely well worth reading. It's based on a real midwife in 1860s New York; a fascinating woman and one you will cheer for.

[B the BookAddict]

For all those who read crime/mystery fiction

Try The First Deadly Sin and The Sixth Commandment series by Lawrence Sanders.

They have recently been re-released in Paperback and e-reader versions.

Bette, I bought it yesterday for kindle at a bargain price on Amazon so I now have it at the ready ;)
So is it classed as a Bio/Memoir? It sounds like one?

Ps, I love watching the show "Midwives" on the tele. Which has just returned for a new season.

Looking forward to seeing what you think of it Marianne. I've heard a bit about it and bought it as an ebook on the weekend, but it'll be a few weeks before I can get to it.
