I really liked The Kabul Beauty School Bluesky.

[BlueSky]

Thanks Melanie - I am finding Witches hard to put down! A nice reprieve from Careless (which is making me feel that way - I could care less! Horrible story, imo) :)

Thanks Mish, I am quite enjoying Kabul Beauty School too - so detailed.

Mish, what is the Kabul Beauty School like? I've toyed with the idea of reading it many times.

Fascinating read Maggie

It’s about hope and independence for these Afghanistan women. It also tells you about hurdles that Debbie had to go through to keep this beauty school running (and oh my! She is one brave and determined woman, it was just one hurdle after the other) But you also read about every day struggle and the hardship for the women of Afghanistan; from abusive husband, arrange marriages and just general things that we sometimes take for granted. Detailed and honest writing yet easy to read.

I gave it 3 stars but I think I will bump it up to 4. I think it’s worth reading :)

"That Deadman Dance" has been on my list for ages- having a hard time tracking it down. Hope it's as good as I think it will be!

Michelle,I’m more than ½ way through but unfortunately it’s not working as well as I hoped. The writing style is little complex; poetic, lack of talking marks and struggling to understand the some of the character’s pov. I’m finding myself concentrating so hard on what he/her it trying to say than actually enjoying the story. It gets a little easier over the course of the book but there are still some shady bits.

Michelle, I picked up a copy a few weeks ago from Booktopia http://www.booktopia.com.au/search.ep... I got the middle one with the white cover...a special 40th edition:)

[Mish]

[Dee-Ann]

Just started reading 11.22.63 and "Of a Boy" by Sonya Hartnett. I am only up to page 4 of the latter and am filled with dread ... not sure if I can read it all.

I'm about to read the second book in the sci-fi series by Aussie writer Sara Creasy, Children of Scarabaeus. Thoroughly enjoyed book 1, and I'm looking forward to reading book 2!

Thinking about ordering some Primeval books online. Has anyone seen that TV show? There are some novelizations of the episodes, but also some original novels, such as: Primeval: Extinction Event, Primeval: The Lost Island + 2 others.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thoroughly enjoyed Stay Close by Harlan Coben. My review http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

[[deleted user]]

Almost finished this one, then onto book five. I'm really enjoying the series.

[★ Jess]

FINALLY finished Liar by Justine Larbaliester (sp?) ((can't link because I'm on my phone).
Now I'm just going to focus on my drama script for the next month. When that's done I'm giving Harry Potter a re-read. A need an all time favorite to brighten my spirits after what will be only two average texts in two months

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Liar by Justine Larbalestier:) GL with your drama script Jess! And I know you'll enjoy HP!!!

[Shelleyrae]

I'm reading Let The Dead Lie and Silent Valley by Malla Nunn

I'm interviewing her next week - has any one got any questions for her?

"

She's not Aussie, is she Shelleyrae? I was going to say, how long does it take for her to research her books, but reading the little bit about her on her profile, it seems she's from where she based the two books you're currently reading. Which do sound really good!!


EDIT: I see she currently resides in Australia, so she is classed as Aussie?

She is South African by birth but grew up in Australia and, after a brief stint overseas, lives in Australia now. Her books were first published here too (Pan MacMillan) and so she is promoted as an Australian author in the publishing world :)

(BTW that second book cover in your post isnt hers. The overseas version of Silent Valley will be called
Blessed are the Dead)

That's weird, I didn't notice that...I clicked on 'reply' to your post, I wonder why it didn't pick up the same books you had there????

Thanks for that info, too...I've added those to my TBR list anyway:)

[Shelleyrae]

Don't forget the first one in the series then Brenda

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Shelleyrae, yes I added it too:)

[Stephen]

A Waltz for Matilda :)

[Maggie]

I'm just starting Diamond Eyes for my Aussie Authors challenge.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oooh interested in your thoughts when you've finished Maggie! I have that down to read on my TBR list:) Pity there wasn't an 'M' in there somewhere;D

[Michael]

Thanks to Brenda's knowledge; I'm currently reading an advanced copy of Talulla Rising by Glen Duncan, which is very excited for me not only because it's my first ARC but because I loved the first book The Last Werewolf and thought this was a bit of a long shot request

Congratulations KL!! It's awesome isn't it! I've got two to read, but as we can't put the review out there until at least a week before release, I'm waiting a bit....

[Michael]

You can't? I know a few people that have the reviews up already

[Mish]

Knowledge Lost wrote: "You can't? I know a few people that have the reviews up already"

Oh NO! that's too long to wait :(

[Michael]

I hadn't heard of this rule

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Knowledge Lost wrote: "You can't? I know a few people that have the reviews up already"

When you register, it's in that section of rules somewhere. I double checked with Shelleyrae, because she reads ARC's all the time, and she said that's right. You won't have anything approved if you release them early apparently. Check with her if you want.....

I've got one due for publication in June, and one in July, that's why I'm waiting.
