I quite fancy this one too Marianne, would slot nicely into my 2015 personal challenge for Aussie authors, as well as TWW challenge...and a debut as well...double bonus points! ;).
Look forward to your final word on it :)

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!

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:)

Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout

Is that the one Jo?

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.

B the BookAddict (bthebookaddict) 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.


message 12072: by B the BookAddict (new)

B the BookAddict (bthebookaddict) 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!


message 12073: by Dale (new)

Dale Harcombe | 6886 comments It's certainly interesting Regina.

Sally906 | 87 comments I have picked up:
The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy by Rachel Joyce 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 :)

Will be interesting to hear what you think Sally. I found The love Song of QH better than Unlikely Pilgrimage of HF.

Regina This morning I started The Girl in the Photograph by Kate Riordan 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 :)

Kate | 9 comments Following a recommendation from this site I'm reading Killer Keepsakes (A Josie Prescott Antiques Mystery #4) by Jane K. Cleland and enjoying it so far. I love the Lina Townend series by Judith Cutler Guilt Edged (Lina Townend #6) by Judith Cutler and this seems like an American version of the theme.

I love the covers on both of those.

Sarah They are really pretty.

I'm reading (finally) Children of God by Mary Doria Russell Children of God (The Sparrow, #2) by Mary Doria Russell

B the BookAddict (bthebookaddict) 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.
