Finally I'm able to post my review for Northern Heat by Helene Young which I read back on 3rd May. 5★s for her best yet IMO!

I have also finished Girl of Shadows by Deborah Challinor and absolutely loved it.... I didn't have your restraint and launched right into The Silk Thief...fantastic series

Ooh are you loving it Deb? I can't wait to read it...but I don't want the series to end either!

i've been reading Christina Lauren's Beautiful series. it's SO GOOD i've been binge reading it over the last few days...

but then I also started reading Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass. saw it in the library and i had to have a go. was it in The Notebook or The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks? or Paper Towns by John Green? something.

i love when i find books characters read in the books I read. it gives a strange connection to them, you know? =) and speaking of Paper Towns... who's pumped for the movie?? I am!

I've not read any books by China Miéville but I have The City & the City sitting on my unread shelf that I plan to read sometime soon. I hope it's one of his better books :)

I am currently reading The Girl Who Went Missing by Ace Varkey - so far it is a wonderful mystery.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I just read Fireplay: Jack Emery 0.5 by Steve P. Vincent 5★s

Good to know I've made the right choice. I purchased this book on whim a while ago, not really knowing a lot about the author or writing but heard of his name mentioned around the traps :)

Just finished this great book Salvation Creek Promo Ebook and rated it 5 stars. What an interesting life Susan Duncan has lead!

Currently reading Hello From the Gillespies pounced on it today when I saw it at the library. The librarian was very disappointed it had snuck by her as she is dying to read it.

[Kathryn]

Hope you enjoy that one, Dale. I read it last year - not Monica McInerney's best, in my opinion, but should hold your interest.

Thanks to Melissa, I have started A Corpse in the Koryo - novel set in North Korea. I'm not far in, but enjoying it so far.

A massive four stars to The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith.

[B the BookAddict]

Finished New York by Edward Rutherfurd Only a 3.5★ rating from me. It featured much less human drama than his Paris effort and New York was a little dry as a result. Native New Yorkers might not agree with me.

Started Falling Angels by Tracy Chevalier

I won't read your review yet Michael as I'll be reading it in a little while:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'm sure I will too Michael - I would have started it already but it's my "W" in the winter challenge:)

I thought that was a fantastic book too- so emotionally involving! I was in a group that was bushwalking and abseiling around Armidale (NSW) which included Tom Kenneally while he was researching the subject matter for this book. He would have got a very good idea of the terrain that he featured in the book from those experiences. I wasn't a friend of his but enjoyed listening to him chat while walking. He seemed to know something about every topic under the sun!

[Suz]

I'm enjoying I Let You Go, at the moment reading while wat hing American Sniper!

[S.M.]

I'm reading "Heaven's Waiting Room" by Clare Wilson - set in and around London.

I'm nearly done, and I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a 5 star review! LOVE it so far and would recommend it to any YA reader.

[Kay]

The Orphan ChoirI've finished Orphan Choir and Up a Tree in the Park at Night with a Hedgehog and got stuck into The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. Orphan was interesting but flawed but the Hedgehog story (you won't believe the title until you read the last page!) was almost perfect for me. Hedgehog was truly un-put-down-able as far as I was concerned, conveying the sense of life going out of control for a young adult, but in a dry, humorous style. The Train Girl is getting more and more gripping, the further I read. Should make for an interesting review, I think, although it will be difficult to avoid spoilers.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Finished Fade Away by Harlan Coben. Loved it.

Finished Falling Angels 4★ An excellent tale of two families in the first decade of the 20th century. A wonderful glimpse into society's habits in the days following the death of Queen Victoria.

That sounds like it would be awfully sad Dale?

I've just finished a light and fluffy read All I Want for Christmas is You by Lisa Mondello - a sweet little 4 star read.

Next up is Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell - but as it is part of my Winter Challenge I can't touch until tomorrow - so will continue on with my other read Letters from Skye by Jessica Brockmole which is well on track to being a 5 star read.

Haven't got as far as sad yet, Brenda. Just can't read at present.
