I'm very jealous Phrynne! I have three books to read for review before I can even look at Obsidio! My palms itch every time I go past it sitting on my desk. Still, the wait will be worth it!!

I should not have started it really but I just could not resist and it is every bit as good as I expected it to be!

Andrea | 2163 comments I’ve started reading Hot Pursuit by Rebecca Freeborn. I haven’t read anything like this for a while, so I’m finding it fresh, fun and fast to read!

Mum has a copy of this, and I want to borrow it (and one of many I might add lol!)

I'm currently listening to Mackenzie Crossing by Kaye Dobbie and I'm loving it. It's the first one of Kaye's I've read and I'm finding myself enthralled by the past and present storylines and how they seem to be slowly merging...

I'm also nearly finished The Cockney Angel by Dilly Court. (Another of Mum's!)

I will warn you, Dale, that now I'm almost at the end, some of the narrative by the granddaughter has the f word. Not copious, but still.

I love Cathy Kelly Krystal! I've read most of hers. :) I'm yet to read the latest release and it's predecessor in Secrets of a Happy Marriage, I may not have read her very early works either. :)


message 2328: by Kylie (new)

Kylie (kyliemaree) | 878 comments I'm currently reading Jack Heath's Hangman via BorrowBox (e-book). It's very good... and certainly not for the squeamish or faint-hearted.

I'm also listening to Heartaches and Christmas Cakes by Amy Miller.

Very different to Hangman, but just as good. :)

Chyina | 28 comments Currently reading Night of the Grizzlies by Jack Olsen after talking to my mum about it. Haven't gotten far yet, but from what she told me I think I'll enjoy it. It's based on actual attacks by Grizzly bears (which is my fave bear, lol).
