Oh, I'm an idiot, :/ I was thinking of something else entirely when I said they are different. They're not that different at all.......

A little tip Mack, when you post about a book you can add its link by using the add book/author link above this text box by typing the title into the popup menu and selecting it and add, like this...Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner the author will also come up next to the book...just press add.

That way we can all check out your selection ;)

I agree Julie. The insinuation is she 'dumbed' it down for Aussies. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the book and I actually think Apothecary would have worked better as it explained what Christmas's shop/cafe was about.

Even if I didn't know what it meant I am bright enough to look the word up!

Sally906 | 87 comments I am currently reading a cozy mystery Murder in the Mystery Suite by Ellery Adams and a Christian Historical Romance Ruby by Lauraine Snelling.

I also have My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises by Fredrik Backman ready to go as soon as I finish the mystery.

Lol, I thought of you Marianne when finished Dear Ruth the other night and started on The Night Guest who's main character is also called Ruth! And I only read DR because the battery ran out on my ipad and I couldn't read TNG for a few hours, so chose that short story on my kindle :)

She must be one of the original writers of the cosy mystery:) Agatha that is, not Miss Marple!

Lily Malone | 102 comments I've been getting my fantasy & sci-fi on lately. Finally I read Treespeaker by Katie W. Stewart (more fantasy than sci-fi really); and at the moment I'm into the Aurora series (finished Darwin & Pegasus) by Amanda Bridgeman
Both West Australian authors. All good reads.
