Thanks : The Genius of Birds Jennifer Ackerman eBook
Recommended on April 26, 2017
My fab State Library Of Queensland facility has once again enable me to list a book recommended by someone.. Might take a while, but it's always worth the wait. It's winter starting down south, so we now have SOOOO many birds coming north to our Tropical North Queensland. There have been over 400 different species logged, here in Greenvale.
It does look like something I would enjoy. Excellent review, Judith. Are there pictures? Do I need a DTB or would the ebook or audio book work?

I think there are some line drawings. It was a library book so I'm not completely sure. I know it had no photographs.
Didn't find Exit West on my other EBOOK platform, Wheelers, but came across, available now, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, which I am looking forward to it.
The Underground Railroad author Colson Whitehead will be in Adelaide , South Australia. https://www.facebook.com/events/82391...Anybody ?

Goodness! I'm having enough trouble reading the news these days (while seemingly obsessed with it) I don't think I could handle a satire.

I have tried his other books, and given up, even his prize winners. Doubt I'll order this, but it was an hilarious interview!!
Anyone read any good thrillers lately? I'm in the mood for something like Gone Girl-- i.e. a psychological thriller without too much gore. Suggestions?
It has been a while since I read a thriller. Dark Matter reads like a thriller. It is pretty good. Also The One Man, a historical fiction about WWII, but reads like a thriller as well.

Lesley wrote: "Storyheart wrote: "Sounds good, Lesley. Not too gory?""I highly recommend The Miniaturist; very fast paced, girl has to grow up fast, every thing is FAST!!. Nearly finished, and this will be at least a 4 * possibly 5, if the ending satisfies.
Am thrilled to be advised of these 3 new EBOOKS automatically loaned to me , bought on my recommendation, after 'finding' them on GR. (The buyer says I am doing a part of her job, for her !!)

See my mixed comments on The Good People.. almost didn't finish it, but it was worth doing. Very thought provoking , but superstition and it's control REALLY annoys me!!
