I am hanging out for this one - loved both of her previous books

[Marianne]

better than the Chocolate one, IMHO, Sally

[Suz]

After You is great so far! So glad I picked this one off my shelf tonight.

[Marianne]

another of those weird coincidences: the phrase "wolf in shepherd's clothing" (not wolf in sheep's clothing) appears in my last read The Beekeeper's Secret and my current one Straight Jacket

and as for subject matter and style, they couldn't be much further apart....

[Carolyn]

I'm reading the Aussie Crime Group's book for this month A Plot to Die For by C.A. Larmer. It's a good quick cosy crime. A bit Agatha Christie with an Aussie flavour.

I've just started Indigo Storm by Fleur McDonald

I'm already feeling apprehensive and afraid for Ashleigh.

I do like this cover better than this cover

Have to agree Veronica. The blue is a much better cover.

That's funny - I love the autumn shaded cover better! I've always loved those colours, so I'm probably biased! A fantastic book though, whatever the cover!

[Veronica ⭐️]

That's probably the thing Brenda. I love blue and any book with a blue cover attracts my attention.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

That's right Veronica:) Boring for everyone if we all had the same likes or dislikes!

Same with me.

[Addie]

I'm about 7 chapters in and loving it more each chapter :)

Finally getting to Killing Floor by Lee Child - gave it to my dad for Christmas. Not my usual genre, and finding the writing style a bit tiresome, but I am enjoying it :)

I really enjoy that series Alexander - I've read them all!

It's a genre I used to read a lot of, before I got into fantasy/scifi, and I really liked it. Lee Child is giving me a good read, but all his sentences are so short! Did he skip school the day they learned about conjunctions? :P

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL! I guess I've become used to his style of writing - it doesn't bother me and I don't even notice it; too busy devouring the story!

[Dale]

Currently reading Go Set a Watchman
Have been putting it off for a while since I brought it home from the library. But on my way now.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'll be interested in your thoughts Dale...I have it here to read as well:)

I've noticed a few authors writing in this style lately. Some can pull it off others can't. In Petrocelli, John Rachel does the short powerful sentences to great effect.

I've started Notes from an Exhibition the best selling novel by the eloquent Patrick Gale. Why is it that gay men write so beautifully? I fell in love with the first paragraph and have enjoyed every word since. I've already marked a few of his other books to read.

[Marianne]

I loved A Place Called Winter and that sent me looking for more by Patrick Gale. I have managed to pick up quite a few....

[B the BookAddict]

I have that one on my tbr, Marianne. From your comments and other comments in other groups, I see I am not alone in my liking of Gale's work. A new author for me to explore and enjoy:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Three Days Breathing Michael :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I had to dust it off Michael;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL!

Only 25% into it but really enjoying Entry Island by Peter May atm.

*Carolyn I think you would like this one :)

[Marianne]

his books are good, Jools!

This is my first one Marianne so that's good to hear, I'm really getting into it...albeit slowly because of other pressing committments...but I think I will be reading more of his.
Does he keep the same characters or are they all stand alone's?

[Marianne]

I have read two that were stand-alone Runaway and Coffin Road which were both excellent. He has two series and a trilogy, of which I have managed to gather some in my travels...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'm currently reading Monty and Me by Louisa Bennet

[M.R.]

Yeah, it is Brenda. Thanks for linking, I couldn't figure out how to do it. I'm on my iPad.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I don't think you can on your iPad Mike... but we'll help you out:)

[M.R.]

Month and Me sounds like a great read. I've added it to my ever-growing 'to read' list

[Elias]

I'm thinking of having a Michael Crichton marathon and might start with either Jurassic Park or The Andromeda Strain

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yesterday I picked up Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín and The Guest Room by Chris Bohjalian which I'm planning to take away with me at the end of the week.
