I am struggling a little at the moment as I can't figure out exactly what is going on, but like The Dinner I am sure it will all come together in the end.

In the name of reading more Aussie authors, I've picked up Rouge by Isabella Modra, a young Australian author.
Great fun so far!

I just finished The Alchemyst by Michael Scott. This was a disappointment actually. It read more like a children's book than YA.

I'm so glad to see another adult who occasionally dips back into the Famous Five, just for fun!

I used to love reading the Famous Five and Secret Seven with my kids when they were at the stage of still reading with Mum.


Must've been good if you read it in one day! :)

I finished Is It Just Me? by Miranda Hart. If you like the TV series then you will probably like this book too.

Finished another book tonight (I was reading two books at the same time and this was a short one!) Mark of the Dragon Queen. It was good!

Thanks, Phrynne, added to my tbr. I love Miranda Hart!

I've also just started The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North as my travelling-to-work book on my kindle and that looks like being good too.
