Just finished Book of Lost Threads by Tess Evans, my 7th book for this challenge and my 1st debut novel.
I gave it 4*s and who would've thought this was a debut novel?! I very much enjoyed it.

Next up is my 1st Historical Fiction Ember Island by Kimberley Freeman

The Tea Chest by Josephine Moon"

What did you think of this one Janine? How many stars?"
I gave it 3 stars as it was an easy read but there wasn't a lot of conflict and the way the characters got together was a bit unrealistic.

[Kathryn]

I finished Bereft by Chris Womersley for a historical fiction read and my 12th for this challenge. I enjoyed the first 195 - 200 pages, although I guess there were a few hints here and there of the turn the book was going to take. And when it did go down that road, it was just too implausible for me and I didn't like the last 65 or so pages at all - 2 stars.

Finished my 18th - Historical Fiction
Behind the Sun by Deborah Challinor

Maybe you could put your star rating too Janine when you tell of your latest read -- we are always asking what you thought;) lol

I loved The Rosie Project - and as we have a grandson on the Autism spectrum scale so gave me hope :)

I understand he is working on a sequel but there is no title or release date yet.

Just read the first page of The Slap, absolutely hated it and have no interest in going any further. I think I'll be changing to a different book for this challenge.

Yes, I read this too for the challenge, didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped. Actually I think I liked the cover more than the book! And Dan Wylie's narration. :)
