I am currently reading a challenge book - Skyfire by Aussie author Michael Adams - is a YA adventure/thriller SciFi (something for everyone)

[Icewineanne]

Elizabeth George

I read this when it first came out in 1988, 30 years ago. Wow.
Enjoying the re-read. I do remember how all of the characters met & their back stories but I don’t remember the mystery at all :)

[Sally906]

Moved on to Fairway to Heaven by Lily Malone - another Aussie author and a romance set in WA.

[Ace]

I'm reading Sourdough by Robin Sloan which is a lot of fun.

I didn't realise that was by the same author, I have it on my TBR so I must bump it up towards the top!

[Ace]

Now you have me wondering what my first ebook was....

I remember mine, it was Sleeping Around: A Couch Surfing Tour Of The Globe by Brian Thacker. I enjoyed it (and the experience) so much I emailed the author!

[Krystal]

The Dalai Lama's Cat by David Michie is adorable! Enjoying it so far!

[Sally906]

I have just picked up our mod pick book of the month - Esme's Wish by Aussie author Elizabeth Foster.

Still reading Fairway to Heaven as well - one is my at home book and the other is my take to work to read at lunch book :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

And I've just started the members choice book - Stars Across the Ocean by Kimberley Freeman and am thoroughly enjoying it!

I've just started The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa I have to get through this one quickly as it's due back at the library on Saturday and I can't renew it due to other holds

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Enjoy Diana :)

[Ryan]

I just started The Mirror Empire by Kameron Hurley.

[Sharon]

I'm just about to start We That Are Left by Lisa Bigelow which I won through goodreads 😊

[Diana]

Just starting The Inaugural Meeting of the Fairvale Ladies Book Club by Sophie Green

I loved that one Diana.

[Dale]

Good win Sharon. I enjoyed that one too and Brenda with stars read. Another great book.

[Li'l Owl]

Currently reading The Six by Anni Taylor & listening to audiobook What She Knew by Gilly Macmillan

Both are excellent!

[Krystal]

Started a couple of challenge reads: The Whites by Harry Brandt and Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead by Brené Brown

[Sally906]

Picked up a deliciously light and fluffy paranormal romance - Bear's Mail Order Bride by Candace Ayers.

[Ryan]

I just started 2016 Booker winner The Sellout, by Paul Beatty. Part way in and it is very funny.

I was not able to finish this one, are you still enjoying it Ryan?

[Ryan]

I am Ace, but it's very dense. I keep having to re-read whole paragraphs. It's very clever. I hope the story is good too.

Yes, it was a difficult read for me I had a lot going on in my life at the time, I must try to read it again soon and seen if I can get a better feel for it.

[Sharon]

I started reading Six Ways to Sunday by Karly Lane yesterday. I'm flying through it. Very enjoyable. What a great author this lady is 😊

[Carolyn]

I'm reading The Jester by James Patterson and Andrew Gross. I was expecting a contemporary thriller but surprisingly it's a historical thriller set in France during the Crusades. Lots of burning of villages and mass murder of villagers in the pursuit of holy relics!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'll be curious to read your review Carolyn. I was daunted by the page count!

Thanks Carolyn I have added this one :)

I am "reading" (listening) to my very first audio-book.

by Anh Do.

I have seen some of his work on TV and my son has read a few of the "Weir do" books, but apart from that, I didn't really know much about him.

I am 7 chapters in (1hr 56min) and loving it. Anh is reading his own book and is really making his story come alive. I can happily recommend this book, and BorrowBox (used by the council library) for e-books and audio-books!
Happy Reading (or listening) :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

A very enjoyable book Brad :) Glad you're enjoying it!

It is taking me a while to get through Brenda, but is easy reading. Not a lot of historical detail and I think most of the characters are fictional. The plot is not very complex and it doesn't have a very authentic medieval feel - but then it was written by thriller writers and not historians!

Still reading it and trying to make up my mind about it. It's a pleasant read but not very historically accurate, however a lot of GR readers have rated it highly. Guess I'll wait to the end to decide!

Patterson is usually easy reading with short chapters. Thanks Carolyn :)

Welcome to audiobooks Brad. I love them. I'm also addicted to BorrowBox.

I'm listening to Into the Water by Paula Hawkins such an unlikable, depressing cast of characters so far!

Yes, I listened to that as an audiobook, I can remember getting confused at first because it had so many different characters/voices but really enjoyed it in the end (once I got my head around everyone!)

I'm nearly halfway now so I think all of the characters have been introduced thankfully, I just need to work out what happened.

[Krystal]

Just over halfway through The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley and it's such a gorgeous book! Really enjoying it!

[Margot]

How to Stop Time by Matt Haig

[Sally906]

I picked up The Bookshop on the Corner by Jenny Colgan - Opened the first page to put my bookmark in - and 2 chapters later made myself put it down so I could start work!!!

A very good sign!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Sounds really good Sally!
