Thank you, Brenda :)
I just found me a new author (actually a husband and wife team) of paranormal fiction - Ilona Andrews. The book I read was called On the Edge and it was very good.

Yours too Brenda. I don't read true crime (for some reason I like all my stuff to be fiction) but it sounds like you really enjoyed this one.

Thanks Phrynne. I don't normally read much true crime either, but I needed one for a challenge, and this one had been on my kindle since 2012! So finally I read it, and I'm glad I did!

These challenges - they really make us come out of our comfort zones! (Deja vu - I just wrote that same sentence on another group's site.)

They most certainly do Phrynne! I have read way out of my comfort zone because of challenges:)

I have finished The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer a huge 5★I am now suffering book-hangover and am intensely
jealous of all who will read it for the first time.
No review as yet.

Another great review Bette, this sounds like a real goodie. I know what you mean though, sometimes a book feels even too good to share and you just want to keep hugging it for a bit longer! That's a measure of a good book.
I have just finished The Haunted Bookshop by Christopher Morley 4★s

A little way into the first of my haul of four from Text, The Rise & Fall of Great Powers: A Novel
and very much enjoying it
Finished The Autobiography of the Queen the other day. I was hoping for something as good as Mrs. Queen Takes the Train but was disappointed. Should have trusted GR ratings! Here's my review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finished
Outback Blaze by Rachael Johns is another 5 ★ read from her - my review will be written up next week sometime. Now I am reading To Love Anew by Bonnie Leon and Dark Witch by Nora Roberts once I've read these I will have finished the Autumn challenge.
Finally finished The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton. Really enjoyed it and will get round to posting a reveiw soon - hard to know where to start! Just have to get back to the May challenge and the Autumn challenge books now ...
Just finished
Secret Sister by Emelle Gamble which was a pleasant surprise in that it was not at all like I expected. I think the cover is a bit deceiving. All in all I thought It was a good read.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

by Emma Donoghue 3.5★sReview: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show..."
I just started this one yesterday...liking it so far.
Before that I finished The Other Typist by Suzanne Rindell. Set in America in the 1920s, it's the story of Rose, a plain 'good girl' who works as a typist in a police station and her growing obsession with Odalie, an attractive free spirit who also comes to work there.
Subtle and creepy with a bit of a twist at the end. 4 stars from me.
Just started
The Happy Endings Book Club by Jane Tara.I'm trying to clear a few overdue reviews for my arcs.
I am reading the last of the Woody Creek series by Joy Dettman called The tying of the threads, such a fantastic series I will be sorry to see it end

I've read about 100 pages so far and it is really good! I've read 1Q84 and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle already but this one is probably the most readable of them.
