But it's an enjoyable fever to have :)

It is in fact an Aussie book at present; came across on the seven day return stand at the local library, (quite enjoying it), by a Brisbane local at that.

I read Burial Rites by Hannah Kent which was just fantastic, if a bit dark. 5 stars!!!!

"Stalin's Daughter" by Rosemary Sullivan. Almost a tome, about the life of Svetlana Alliluyeva. Finding it very interesting and engaging.

My current reads are:

The Art of Friendship by Lisa Ireland - like all her books - you start off thinking now much is happening and before you know it you realise there is a lot going on but just what it is and where its going eludes you)
Murder in Belgravia by Lynn Brittney - a long time friend of mine - this is her first mystery book. She has a few published YA books up her sleeve.
Beneath the Mother Tree by D.M. Cameron - not due for release until August, but plan on travelling in August and writing reviews will be difficult so reading it now and can post review later.

By Carlos Ruiz Zafron...Very fascinating and beautifully written. First time reading a book of this genre :) Totally recommend for anyone looking for something different.

[Andrea]

Today I started reading Finding Gobi: The true story of a little dog and an incredible journey. I love animals and having my heart warmed, so I’m pretty confident in the book from that point of view, but I’m also in training for a big run at the moment, so I’m hoping I might get something out of it from that angle too. NOT an ultra marathon, I might add! 😆

I've gone from the rather dark horror of I Always Find You to the light fun of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, LOL

I've heard that's very funny Marianne! Sounds like you need it after the previous book!

[Carolyn]

I've just finished Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover. Wow! what a story of surviving a radical, violent family and getting a University education without any formal schooling!!

[Helen]

Started Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters last night. Great so far.

[Andrea]

I've finally started reading The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith - don't know why I waited so long!

So far my impression of Cormoran Strike is that he's a bit like a younger Jackson Lamb, but with a semblance of manners. We'll see,

Do you have any idea on book 4's timing Sally? I thought it was a trilogy for some reason!

[Marianne]

About 130 pages in and very much enjoying The Far-Back Country

In March JK Rowling said she had finished writing it and it would be published later this year - has a title - it is Lethal White - playing on her alter ego she said it is up to Robert Galbraith to share the date.

CR is Guardian Angels and Other Monsters. Up to short story #6 and I've been teary eyed & creeped out already.

[Jazzy]

I'm have misplaced one of the books I'm reading, and I only live in a studio flat! So until I find it, I'm continuing on with

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
(reading very slow. It has a lot of things tied together and I don't want to miss anything.)

and started two new books today:
Cocaine Blues by Kerry Greenwood

and a book I just picked up at the library book sale for 50p -
The West Rand Jive Cats Boxing Club by Lauren Liebenberg
