https://www.goodreads.com/review/show..."Great review. This book seems to depict a very grim future.
I just read Aboriginal author Tara June Winch’s new book The Yield. No wonder she’s won awards - story, characters, history, family - it’s all there. I also added links to other info for any enthusiastic readers. :)

Love this series!

Ooh sounds like my kinda genre! I’ve just added the 1st to my TBR list based on your review.
How does it read in terms of thrill/suspense/horror? Does it get pretty dark? (That would be favourable) haha
Very occasionally, you get a lot more than you pay for. This is certainly the case with The Roommate, an audio novella from Dervla McTiernan which is a stand-alone prequel to the Cormac Reilly series. It's free for subscribers of the author's newsletter and a young Cormac Reilly makes a few appearances. 5★s from me

Brenda, at the moment, yes, just like her other prequel, The Sisters, but at least it's a freebie.
Robin Hobb's The Dragon Keeper.Unpopular opinion: I liked this even more than the Assassin's Apprentice!

Well, she did make us wait three years for it, but Karin Slaughter's latest Sara-and-Will installment, The Last Widow, did not disappoint.5★s

It has been a while since I read a straightforward, American, thriller but I enjoyed:
by John Grishamhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Thanks Kathryn; I am pretty sure you gave me this copy...
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline was actually a lot more fun than I expected! I gave it 4 stars but may still up it to 5, it was that good. Definitely a must read for 80s kids who love/d gaming!

The series does get a bit dark and gritty in spots as she's up against some pretty nasty criminals, especially in the second book where she's deep undercover.
The First Time Lauren Pailing Died is a brilliant debut novel by Alyson Rudd, but some parts of the back-cover blurb are so misleading that it’s rather distracting for the reader. It’s almost as if the person who wrote it did no more than skim the novel. I got past that and gave it 5★s

My review for, Search for the Light by Rosemary Noble
I really enjoyed this book, though the ending left me feeling a bit sad for one character.
