Ooh, I not long ago purchased the Miniaturist. It looks like such a good read. I am excited about it. :) I will not read you review, yet. I usually see what people think about books after I have read them. :)

[Suz]

Finally finished Fractured, but was a little disappointed. Was looking forward to reading it for quite some time.

[Jo]

Suzanne yes Big Little Lies is a great read.

And now for that wonderful moment each month when I can read any book I want because I am up to date on all my challenges. I have selected Kraken by China Miéville.

Ooh lemme know what it's like Phrynne. Got it on my China Mieville shelf waiting :P

I've put uni work aside for the weekend to speed through Tomorrow, When the War Began for the first time. With all the time and energy my first year of uni has occupied, I'd nearly forgotten how good it is to lose yourself in a book for hours.

[Carolyn]

Hope you enjoy it Jess! I read the first book for the YA and liked it so much I bought the DVD of the movie which everyone here said is really good.

This is one where the reviews are all over the place so I have to read it and make up my own mind! I have loved everything I have read of his so far.

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Just finished The Guardian Angels by Rohit Gore and enjoyed it very much.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Now trying to get back into the flow of my challenges! Have started The Sunnyvale Girls by Fiona Palmer which is one of my Spring challenge choices...not sure if I will be able to catch up but will give it a good go ;)

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Haha...just discovered that The Sunnyvale Girls wasn't one of my Spring challenge choices!! ...it has somehow snuck itself onto that pile!
Oh well, i need to read it for reviewing anyway...maybe I can slot it into my Spring challenge, eek, soon to be Summer!

[Angela]

I am currently reading How to be both which is strangely captivating.

I also recently finished The Lucy Family Alphabet which I thoroughly enjoyed. Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Oh man that's probably one of my favourite series. It's a bit less awesome now that I'm not in my teens but still pretty great :P

[Rita]

I've just finished Dangerous Liaisons by Sarah Stuart, a Goodreads author. Weaved around the wonderful world of theatre, musicals and song, it tells the story of Michael and Lizzie’s love, their successes and failures as well as Lizzie’s historical links to a Tudor Queen.

I really liked it but never read past the first book. Think I'll need to jump on that. Did you see the film? I'm wondering if it was any good!

I really liked it too. I remember feeling a bit unsettled after reading it the first time - I think it was because (unlike so many books) it was set in Australia, and a familiar Australia.

Our family really liked the movie, even though a couple of the characters weren't quite what we expected - you know how your imagination pictures them differently?

[Sharon]

I finished : Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult 5★

I thought the film was lovely:)
The books were good too although I gave up after three of them because I became tired of the author's moralising. He kept justifying the character's actions to the point where it held up the story. Apart from that they were great!

That's an interesting thought on how the writer wrote the characters. I fell off the bandwagon with the books but not for that reason...Mine, I kinda lost interest..But it was one of the first series I paid serious attention too.

I always feel like I should go back and read them and see what I now think of them as opposed to when I was just a teenager. And now your comment makes me curious too.

I just felt that knowing his audience was YA he continually had to justify the fact that his teenage characters were having sex and were also killing people. He was right to do this but it began to get repetitive !

I'm almost at the end of China: A History (Volume 1): From Neolithic Cultures through the Great Qing Empire,. It's been a fascinating read and sometimes it's nice to do some non-fiction reading for pleasure. Although it's a big book and I'm feeling the itch for something fictional again.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Finished The Survivors Club by Lisa Gardner 4.5★s

Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[★ Jess]

Finished Tomorrow, When the War Began by John Marsden and really enjoyed it. I'd love to dive straight into The Dead of Night but I have uni assignments & readings that needs to be done :(

[Angela]

Like Jess, I'd love to dive into the next one just to see where he takes it but I remember why I got bored with it in high school: not enough dialogue and big chunky paragraphs (or so I thought at 14 anyway).

Interesting to see all the comments on the film. I am intrigued now!!

I thought the movie was awful, personally. Probably because I was such a fan of the novel though.

An excellent choice, Mish. I love Raymond Chandler.

Today I began reading Us by David Nicholls. I'm only about 10% in, but already I want this to turn out well for poor Douglas.
