Just started The Last Time We Say Goodbye as an audiobook and two thirds of the way through Deltora Quest 2: Shadowlands (never read the second series of this childhood favourite and found it at the last Lifeline Bookfest!).
I bought Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty at the airport. I had previously avoided this author but wow, I loved this book. Am currently watching the tv series of same.Just purchased Truly Madly Guilty which I'm finding a bit less interesting.
Bette, Truly Madly Guilty does take patience, the reveal comes about 2/3 in, but I thought it was worth it. But The Husband's Secret is an excellent read that gets going a bit more quickly....

I'm sure I will! I've always loved dragons and I've been wanting to read this for years! I've better get started reading some of my BIG books!
I am really enjoying The Lost Book of the Grail by Charlie Lovett. Just a small way in and I can tell I will like it as much as his others :)

Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs was released last week!!!Is the 10th in the Mercy Thompson paranormal series and I nearly keeled over when I was told this is the last one!!!

I just finished one of my fav series, too and it's so sad to say goodbye to some of your fav characters! This series has been on my radar for a while, If i see the first one cheap- I might pick it up :)
Now just picked up
after finishing
.I think this is an Australian author? Not sure but it sounds good anyhow!
Have started reading 'Forever Young' by Steven Carroll. A Miles Franklin Award winner, it should be an interesting departure from my usual genres of legal thrillers, travel stories and sporting biographies.

I finished Truly Madly Guilty which surprisingly, I liked and have started The Mandibles: A Family, 2029–2047, the new novel by one of my idols, Lionel Shriver.
As I am doing a Diploma of Arts majoring in Counselling I elected to study where spirituality was considered. As a consequence one unit is Foundations of Faith. Reading now Practicing Christian Doctrine. An introduction to Thinking and Living Theologically. Beth Felker Jones, 2014. Currently getting my head around various Doctrine and my view in relation to it. More challenging than expected. But a very soul searching thought provoking book. Cost about $25 Australian
