I finished Deeper Water by Jessie Cole a few days ago and was very impressed - 4★s. Dare I say it - this book really did have hidden depths! Highly recommended to lovers of general fiction.Here is my review:

I finished Is It Just Me? by Miranda Hart which was a delightful read for anyone who is a fan. I am now starting Burial Rites and Three Men in a Boat.

If you enjoy Three Men in a Boat and you don't mind a bit of time travel you might also enjoy To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis. It's based on Three Men in a Boat and is quite funny.
I've just finished St Kilda Blues by Geoffrey McGeachin what a terrific story and a great 3rd book from his Charlie Berlin series. I hope it's not the final book as I really would love to read more "Charlie Berlin". 4.5★sMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I really enjoyed that one Sharon - a book within a book! A great pick up too for that price!

Good review - I am 3/4 of the way through and really enjoying it.
The Blazing World by Siri Hustvedt; abandoned at Pg 286. Frankly, I'm over Harriet Burden and all her personas. I'm over her anger at the art world being expounded at me, and the footnotes, oh the footnotes. I can't continue reading this book for the same reasons I can never finish a DFW book. It's the 'all about Harry' themes, her self obsession and her rage that I'm finding so wearing. Not sure I've explained myself properly but...
I just finished a YA book called Cinder by Marissa Meyer. It was excellent!

Sounds like a good one for the October challenge Phrynne!
Last night finished Vicki Tyley book Brittle Shadows. Really enjoyed it.I wonder which book I should read next of hers?! Here's my reviewhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Next for me is The Tea Chest which seems nice so far, one of my $1 charity bargains ;)Which I will get to eventually. Too much happening in the school holidays, especially living so close to Wet n Wild....

I'm thinking it might make a nice, light, beach read when I go up to the Sunshine Coast in about 6 weeks. Will look forward to seeing what you think of it, Brenda.
