Personally I don't think it's anything like Gone Girl which I didn't really enjoy:)

I am reading Forsaken as my reviewer reading and reading An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth for the third time, because I love space and Chris Hadfield is really super cool :)
I finished Clariel by Garth Nix today. Very enjoyable:)

I'm surprised that I'm reacting to it quite strongly. If it continues at this level till the end, I'd be giving it 5 stars. :)
Initially I picked up this book for the April Challenge - Historical Fiction, but soon realised that it is really a piece of contemporary fiction (though it refers often to the past.) Once I'd finished my challenge reads, I was keen to pick up this murder mystery novel. I really enjoyed Case Histories by Kate Atkinson, and found it a genuine page-turner, which I read in less than 24 hours. 4★sHere's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Do you like it? The series averaged out at three stars for me.

Yes I do so far - not a 5 star read but a solid 4 star at the moment. To many questions and not enough answers yet. But I am only a wee way in so we will see. I guess she is still world building :)
I finished Chelsea Mansions by Barry Maitland. It was really very good!

I can't see a hat Suzanne?
I thought that too.....is there an edition with a girl in a hat on the cover? Couldn't see one listed on GR...
Oh my goodness I'm lying!! There was a big dirty messy sticker with texta all over it (I read a withdrawn library copy which was tatty) and I didn't even look properly.. It was like that's what I thought it was in my head??! Like all the others we'd been commenting on over the last few months! I made up my own cover ;)
Maybe you saw a metaphorical hat Suzanne?You know what this means? You STILL haven't read a book with a girl in a hat on the cover! lol!!

Carolyn wrote: "Yeah, you could be right Marianne! And I bet she wears a hat a lot in the book ....."Suzanne could tell us....
Suzanne wrote: "You guys are going to think I'm more nuts than ever now lol lol"I thought she took it off for the photo Suzanne ;P
I have decided to take a short break for my read for review books. So I am reading Anzac Girls: The Extraordinary Story Of Our World War 1 Nurses
Finished the Hugo and Nebula winning Ancillary Justice. It was unique and intelligent but not especially enjoyable. I gave it three stars and wrote a review.Next up is The Golem and the Jinni, by Helene Wecker.

Early this morning (too early to get up) I woke and couldn't get back to sleep. My bedside read just wasn't doing it for me so I grabbed my Samsung Galaxy Tablet and read Marina Finlayson's The Family Business. It was just the right length, definitely a fun read, thanks Marina!my review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
(also on Amazon and Amazon UK)
But my current read is one recently discussed on the ABC Book Show, Brother of the More Famous Jack: A Novel
by Barbara Trapido, enjoying it, only my reading has taken a dive with the treadmill out of action!
