What Are You Currently Reading? (doesn't have to be an Aussie book)

Sounds good Suzanne!
Can now post review for The Death House by Sarah Pinboroughhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Currently reading Wolf Winter by Cecilia Ekbäck.
I started it a month ago but had to put it down to read something else. I started to read it again last week, but haven't gotten far due to crazy life. What i have read so far is really good.
I'm reading The Silence of the Stones by Goodreads' Rebecca Bryn, a UK author. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...I was blown away by her book Touching the Wire so I'm pleased to have another book to read by the same author.

The Silence of the Stones by Rebecca Bryn
Touching the Wire
I am currently reading Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling. I didn't know a lot about the author before I started. It's easy to read and satisfactorily amusing so far...

Took me a while to get into [book:Wolf Winter|24466301] Regina. It is quite slow and quite bleak so not exactly a fun read but it does speed up a bit and get more interesting and I think it's worth sticking with, just to read about the sort of life those people lived in Lappland if nothing else. So spare and impoverished and the winters! Brrr!

I put mine down as well, to start the challenge. I need to get back to it before I lose the gist.

I know but I had already started it before then....I have now finished my history challenge :)
Its the same with the May challenge, the audiobook I'm listening to atm [book:The Poppet and the Lune|10910169]...which btw is terrific...would have been perfect, but alas I had already started it before.
Just started at breakfast so only a few pages into At the Water's Edge. Haven't read enough to have formed an opinion yet.
I finished Wuthering Heights and tried to collect my thoughts in a far less complicated review.Currently reading The Black God’s War: A Novella Introducing a new Epic Fantasy, which is a fantasy novella released to 'sell' the longer novel upon which it is based. The first five chapters of the two books are the same, which I though was an interesting idea.

I just need a good solid chunk of time. I'm only snatching a minute here and there and it is making it hard!
(I also think it would have been good for this month's challenge but I had already started in March).

Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Just finished Alchemy: a story of perfect murder and The Sandman, Vol. 1: Preludes and Nocturnes. Loved both, couldn't put them down (and may have sacrificed a few hours of sleep to finish them)Reading The Jungle Book now and really enjoying it. I should also be reading If on a Winter's Night a Traveller but I just can't get into it.

Just posted my review. really liked it :)
Just this minute finished my review of The Girl Who Went Missing by Ace Varkey. Absolutely enjoyable reading! Probably would have rated 5* but couldn't quite get there as I was reading it on my iPhone, but really that's my issue isn't it! I think I missed parts due to this, I love paper books!

I'm currently reading Game of Thrones. I don't typically read the fantasy genre but am quite enjoying the first book of the series.

I just couldn't feel the love for this novel. I know lots of people that would enjoy. Maybe there is something wrong with me.....(lol)

After seeing Ritaskeeter's excellent review of Girl Underwater by Claire Kells I spotted it on Netgalley and have just finished reading it. It was a very good debut novel (4.5★), aimed at young/new adults but also enjoyed by this much older adult :)review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Looks interesting. Is it a lighter mystery or full on?
