After seeing many great reviews for his work, I'm starting a CJ Sansom novel, the first Matthew Shardlake mystery, Dissolution. An author I've not read before, I'm loving the first few chapters so far...

Excellent choice Mary! I love that series :)

[Margot]

Just finished Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult which I received from Allen and Unwin and have just started Goodwood by Holly Throsby which I received from TRR.

[Marianne]

Lucky you, Margot!

Great story - I read the first couple but am now behind in the series - will have to chase it up

[Elias]

I just finished Black & Blue by James Patterson and Candice Fox. After a very neat twist at the end there, now I'm really looking forward to reading Never Never. Hopefully that twist will continue into the next story.

Is anyone using Litsy? I am obsessed with it at the moment and am finding evening more books to add to my TBR, if you are using the App let me know and I will add you, I am michelle_mck on litsy.

for those of you who have yet to use it, it is kind of like Instagram but for books. I am obsessed with it.

[Sarah-Jane]

I am reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I started it last night and read over half of it before I could sleep.
Un-put-down-able!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is a great book Sarah-Jane :)

[B the BookAddict]

I haven't been reading my novel because after seeing a documentary about Holocaust Deniers, I have started reading the Zchor Testimonies: holocaust survivor testimonies: http://www.zchor.org/testimon/testimo...

It has not been easy reading but I am glad I am bearing witness to what these people went through.

[Elias]

Just finished Never Never by James Patterson and Candice Fox. I really enjoyed this one! It's a good start to a series that I'll definitely be keeping an eye on. I think I prefer this to Fox's Archer & Bennett series.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Ditto Elias :)

[Elias]

I can't help but think that both writers shared a bit of a grin when they decided to end it like that.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha..you're probably right!!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Here's one of those spooky coincidences. I am listening to 12th of Never and reading Hard Time. In both of them the dead body goes missing from the morgue and no one can find it!

[Carolyn]

Very spooky Phrynne!

I'm reading Joe Cinque's Consolation, A True Story of Death, Grief and the Law by Helen Garner and really enjoying her description of how she got caught up in this story of a young man being killed by his girlfriend.

Sounds like another fascinating case to add to my growing shelf of Australian true crime Carolyn ;)

Usually I have no trouble reading two books at once but this time I am having a few problems:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha! Yes you would... I try to read different genres if I have to read two together :)

[Sarah-Jane]

I am reading

[B the BookAddict]

Carolyn and Julie, I remember the story. What a ridiculously short sentence that killer served.

[Carolyn]

Totally agree Bette. After drugging her boyfriend with rohypnol, she injected him twice with heroin (he was not a drug user), she was given 10y, with parole after 4y and because she'd been in a remand centre for some time already was only in prison for around 2y. It took him 3 days to die. Just horrible.

I love all Helen Garner's books especially the true crime ones; another couple of goodies of hers are This House of Grief and The First Stone.

[Sarah-Jane]

[Leonie]

I'm reading Whispers Under Ground by Ben Aaronovitch

[Carolyn]

That's on my tbr too Leonnie. Loved the first two in the series!

[Natalie]

I'm reading I See You by Clare Mackintosh, only just started but really enjoying so far. I just finished Lie With Me by Sabine Durrant and that was fantastic. Brilliantly written.

Love that series! Still waiting for Number 6 to be published. Not long now!

[Carolyn]

I'm reading and enjoying Frontier Defiant by Leonie Rogers. Wonderful to be back with Shanna and the beautiful starcats :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Ahh such a good book!

[Elias]

I've just finished The Falls by B. Michael Radburn. Very nice! It felt like I was reading an Australian version of Red Dragon by Thomas Harris. I'm now looking forward to reading The Crossing and will definitely be following this series.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I've got The Crossing to read as well Elias - really looking forward to it :)

[Elias]

I also like that a new one will be coming out soon. B. Michael Radburn has created some really good characters.

I've also just finished Cross Kill by James Patterson, which I really enjoyed, especially with that killer ending [or I should say those last 20-30 pages]! I hope they follow through with it into the next one, Cross the Line

[Elias]

I've just finished Nothing Short of Dying by Erik Storey, which I really enjoyed. I can now see why so many people having been comparing it to the Jack Reacher series. It's another new series that I'm looking forward to.

[B the BookAddict]

I'm reading The Ballroom by Anna Hope; I was drawn to the novel based on the reviews of Angela M, Diane S and Chrissie.

[Sally906]

It is September 1 - so this morning I opened to the first page of Frontier Defiant by Leonie Rogers!!!

Finally!!!


***sigh***

[Niamh]

I'm about a quarter of the way through Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, but not really enjoying it, so that might just go on the back burner for a while. As today is the first day of September, I started my first book for the Spring Reading Challenge - What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions by Randall Munroe
