Yes "the Road Back". Too pedestrian for me contemporary fiction. Wish Di would write like in her early years when you could not put her book down.

Finished reading "in The Middle of Nowhere" Autobiography by Terri Underwood. 5/5 excellent read if you are into Australian authors living in remote areas of Australia. Loved this book.

It's always a shame when a book you have high expectations for let's you down :(

[Dale]

Thanks Brenda. Unable to put the link on the I pad.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Just interested Dale but why can't you link from your IPad? I do from mine.

[Kathryn]

You wouldn't be able to link from the iPad if using the app, only if you're opening GR with Safari (which is what I do as well - don't like the app much at all!).

[Dale]

Because the box for the books link doesn't come up,Phrynne. It used too and then Goodreads changed something and now it no longer does. I don't have the app as I remember Kathryn saying how much trouble she had, so I ignored it.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Mine opens with safari and works really well. I don't like the app either - not for accessing groups anyway.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I just finished The Tea Chest by Josephine Moon.
My review

Oh, that's bizarre, Dale. I always use Safari when on the iPad and the box for the book links comes up for me after I press the "add book/author" link.

Mind you, I did have something coming up a while ago saying that GR wouldn't work after a certain date unless I upgraded my browser (which I haven't done and it's still working so far!), so unless there is something like that happening for you, Dale...

Technology - it's just more of a hassle sometimes, isn't it?

Oh dear, I have The Tea Chest down for my Aussie Author Challenge... But maybe I should take it on holidays on my cruise in Jan to read by the pool...

[Kathryn]

Kathryn wrote: "But maybe I should take it on holidays on my cruise in Jan to read by the pool..."

Or maybe not - all the copies in my library are out on loan with none due back until after I leave! Unless someone returns one early...

That was a bug Kathryn...I had it and when I went to the Feedback group, so did a lot of other people. It's fixed now:)

Well, I really enjoyed The Jigsaw Man 5★s but I can't say more until the embargo date except that I want to read the first three in the series now. Luckily, the library has them!

If I'm on the Internet on iPad the links work - same with iPhone - but if I'm using the App then no linking is available, and you can't reply to posts either - you can still comment just not reply. I usually only use the app to read posts or post reading updates

[Dale]

Kathryn,
Mine isn't any better when I open it in Safari. Same as I can't reply to a specific person's post and other little things. Used to be able to do all, so not sure what changed. Have just come to the conclusion that I was never really meant for the technological age!
As for the tea chest,I thought it was a good light read if a little predictable at times, but a friend who always reads books to the end, unlike me, gave up on it. So, maybe it is just one of those books that people either like or they don't. Or that you have to be in the right mood for.

[Dale]

Currently reading The Boy in the Book Thanks Suzanne.

There are some references to previous cases, so probably spoilers. I still intend to read the first three....

Finished The Miniaturist and was unimpressed. Just had a quick look at other reviews and discover I am not alone:)

Currently reading The Mapmaker's Children - flying through this book & really loving it so far. It's fiction but based on a group of real people, in the 1800, who are fighting to end slavery & aid slaves in their escape to freedom.

It's not released until May 15 but available on Netgalley if anyone is interested.

Just finished The Little Old Lady Who Broke All The Rules, I got it out of the library because I entered a giveaway for the 2nd book in the series. I can do without winning it now, I really couldn't recommend the first book, so I'm glad it was a library book!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I finished A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. It was good.

It's a website where publishers make available advance copies of books for review. You need to join and set up a profile and tell them where you post your reviews and then you can request copies of books. Some publishers require you to be a professional reviewer, blogger, librarian or educator but some are quite happy if you post to GR and Amazon as well as on Netgalley. Some of them will pre-approve you; others you wait for an email saying you can download the book. I can't give you the link at the moment but if you Google Netgalley you'll find the website.

Last night I finished The Last Juror. I actually read from a book with two in the one volume, but I won't read the next one yet. I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped. My review:
