4 stars for this *contemporary/romance* novel that teaches us not to be judgemental on what genres others like to read or write :)

I borrowed Ten Year Stretch: Celebrating a Decade of Crime Fiction at Crimefest from the library for the Mick Herron story the collection contains, so it was a real bonus to find that the other 19 stories are also excellent reads. And now I have no more Mick Herron books to read until Joe Country arrives.
5★s

Tales From Nature: Bee by Magali Attiogbé is a sweet little picture book for toddlers. Big, simple, cheerful illustrations that show the life-cycle of a bee.

The Woman in the Green Dress by Aussie Author Tea Cooper. I found this to be a pleasant book but was slightly disappointed as so many other people rated it so highly.
