Deb Omnivorous Reader | 1929 comments My review for Discovering Stella by K.M. Golland by AA K.M. Golland

I did not care for it and gave it only two stars. Please don't shoot me: it seems live everyone else on GR absolutely loved this book. If you want to see what I didn't like about it, I used my review to work out my frustration https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The Mermaid's Daughter by Ann Claycomb by Ann Claycomb

Was a beautifully written piece of literature. So glad I happened across it.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments I'm having a bit of a Shaun Tan binge at the moment. Having just finished The Lost Thing I can state that his books should not be restricted to children, no matter what age the sticker attached by the library suggests. So much talent!
But oldies like me do need to get out the magnifiers to appreciate all the little details on each page.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments I'm making my way through South Australian author Stephen Orr's novels. Attempts to Draw Jesus is his debut novel, based on real events. A powerful read.

Not sure what you are asking Stacey...
How to put the link to your review in a post?
Or how to share your review on other sites?

Hi Stacey,

You can use the 'add book/author' link to tell us which book your review is for.

Then, copy and paste the link to the review you've written.

Hope that helps?

Viburnum (hiatus) My review for Descendant of the Crane by Joan He Descendant of the Crane by Joan He
So this was a Chinese-inspired fantasy steeped in political intrigue and magic, family drama and betrayals, and I loved it immensely.
Definitely on my favourite shelf now!

5.0 stars

Carolyn | 9836 comments I was expecting some thrilling inside secrets about MI5 from this memoir of the 1950s but found it quite light, although entertaining. (Some of the characters would have been right at home in Mick Herron's Slough House.)

MI5 and Me A Coronet Among the Spooks by Charlotte Bingham MI5 and Me: A Coronet Among the Spooks by Charlotte Bingham 3.5★
