Look forward to your final word on it :)

I finished Die Again by Tess Gerritsen. That was a GOOD book!

Everyone I speak to is raving about this Phrynne, my book friend at local BigW says it is jumping off the shelves! And only $16 now!

Exactly! ;)
I think I got mine yesterday. I just couldn't resist it! I am going to read Revival by Stephen King now and that's not on my challenge list either:)

You had the incorrect title and author; that's what I found when I searched too. So I googled it, and found it then:)

This miniseries is screening on Australian television at the moment.
Sarah wrote: "Euphoria by Lily King seems to be quite popular!"It's a New Release and won the Kirkus Prize 2014. Lily King is also one of my favourite authors, her novel Father of the Rain is superb.
I've finished Euphoria by Lily King; definitely a 4★ rating from me. I'm still digesting certain parts of the novel; stuck between what I learned in high school of the seemingly dour and authoritarian real person, Margaret Mead, and the character, Nell Stone, in the novel. (Of course, at school, you didn't learn of her personality, her verve, her passion for her work). And what a shock at the novel's close, wow, was that unexpected!
I have picked up:
The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy by Rachel Joyce - already intrigued to see how the story is going to go. The previous book Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry was my first book of 2015 and a 5 star effort - so this has a lot to live up to. So far so good though :)

This morning I started
by Kate Riordan.I was into it from the prologue. I won't be able to read more until the boys are in bed tonight...

This The Girl in the Photograph sounds good Regina...keep us posted on what you think of it? I might be tempted to add it :)
Following a recommendation from this site I'm reading
and enjoying it so far. I love the Lina Townend series by Judith Cutler
and this seems like an American version of the theme.

They are really pretty.I'm reading (finally) Children of God by Mary Doria Russell
I read the prior book last month and I've been dying to get to this sequel.
I'm currently reading Flesh and Blood by Jonathan Kellerman - one of those books I've had here FOREVER;)

That's bad luck Brenda :( Fingers crossed for your next read :)
Brenda wrote: "Thanks Sharon - just trying to decide now:) Think I might try The Fall by Amy Dale next:)"Good choice. This sounds quite good. Flipper approves ;)
I've started Annabel by Kathleen Winter; the story of an intersex child born into a family in the austere beauty of Newfoundland. I can hardly believe this is a debut novel.

Phrynne, are you a fan of King? I'm not at all but every now and then he puts one out that I like. So I'm curious :)

Unusual for you to have two rated in the 2s. Let's hope your next one is a beauty Brenda.
