I finished Nest by Inga Simpson yesterday but it's such a beautiful book that it took me a while to work out what to leave out of my review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... (still too long, but you can satisfy yourselves with the short version if you are impatient)
Definitely 5★s I have to buy my own copy now as this one has to go back to the library...

I'm two thirds of the way through Flanagan's Run: A Novel. It was recommended - it's a good read but I'm taking ages to get through it because my reading time has been disjointed - having a long dry hot summer here in Southern Spain.

I was just chatting to my sister in Canberra and about to gloat about the fact that I am reading an advance copy of Hello From the Gillespies when she told me that she was reading it too, had borrowed it from her local library. And here I was thinking it wasn't out until 24th Sept. Completely deflated, I was. Serve me right for wanting to gloat....

Thanks for fab review, Suzanne. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it, especially given the genre is outside of your comfort zone. :)

I'm thoroughly enjoying Black Wattle Creek by Geoffrey McGeachin and already have his next St Kilda Blues ready to go after this one. He is an author I will be looking out for in future...a real good old fashioned Aussie cop series! :D

I finished reading The Magpies by Mark EdwardsMark Edwards. Excellent psychological suspense. On the downside, a few of the explicit sex scenes (think the female licking her finger and giving the male a prostate examination) added nothing to the story.

Question: Can you usually tell from reading a sex scene whether a male of female wrote it?

From my reading, I find male authors tend to be more about the physical actions, females the sensations.

That isn't necessary in a book Vicki!!! That sort of thing turns me off a book I'm afraid:(

I agree. After reading out the first couple to Alan (just for the reaction :-)), I ended up skimming the rest.

The Stolen Girl - Just finished that last night. I really like her books, which are set at least partially in India, and feature women discovering hidden secrets about their family.

I don't think I can always tell if a man or woman has written a sex scene but I usually just end up laughing at them anyway. Try the ones in Fifty Shades of Grey. I defy you not to have a good giggle at least:)

In Jaspar's War it was painfully obvious to me that it was written by a male author as his female protagonist was portrayed as someone with a really weird sense of what a woman's desires are, and then went into way too much detail about it. In fact it was one of the things that occurred to me while I was reading it and wondering "what's wrong with this picture".

[Michael]

go on Brenda, you know you want to

Lol...I really struggled with my review of that particular book Vicki as there were so many things I wanted to say..or wondered about the author's motives, but in the end I deleted my personal opinions and just wrote the obvious points.

(Whispers quietly) some of Eve and Roarke's love scenes are a bit over the top too.
