The Edge by Tim Lebbon
My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This is such a great series (and book). Perfect for fans of horror, and dark fairy tales.
Really enjoyed the audible original The Deep, Deep Snow

After a week of deliberation and procrastination, here's my review for Beside Myself by Sasha Marianna Salzmann, who appeared at the Melbourne Writers Festival this year.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Thanks Allen&Unwin for another powerful read from the very talented Ben Hobson. I gave Snake Island 4.5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
State of the Union: A Marriage in Ten Parts by Nick Hornby:I found this little book difficult to read. The problem was that I was often laughing so much I had tears in my eyes, and that makes it hard to focus on the print. At one line in chapter four I laughed so hard I nearly fell off the treadmill. Best not to mention continence issues. But there's wisdom and insight too. Apparently it's now a TV series, which I intend to look up: it would definitely translate well to the screen

Sara Foster's sixth novel is excellent Aussie crime fiction but for one little niggle about something I don't think a seventeen-year-old girl would do. That brought it down to 4★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My review for: Charlotte's Lance and the Round Fable by Margaret Lynette Sharp
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
If you ever needed an example of two over-used words, resilience and resourcefulness, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is it! Betty Smith's classic story of childhood before World War One is barely disguised as fiction. How her mother turned bread into so many different meals is hard to imagine!
5★ Link to my review (with bread recipes!)
