Thanks to Fremantle Press I got to read Driving into the Sun by Aussie author, Marcella Polain. Perth in 1968 is very well depicted.4★s

No worries! It's spoiler-free but I understand! I'll probably read it again when it gets officially released XD
I have just finished the ARC Allen and Unwin sent me; it exceeded all expectations!
by Mary-Rose MacCollI gave it five stars, I enjoyed every moment of reading it, the historic sections were great and the intricacy of the plot impressed me.

And I'll read yours after I've read mine ;)
Aussie author Peggy Frew has a new novel out soon, Islands, and the cover says it all. Individually or grouped, we're islands (as is one of the settings, Phillip Island).

Rubdown by Leigh Redhead was just as kinky as the first book. Not my thing at all but since I won them I'm trying to get through the series so I can then donate them all together.

Finished my first reread of the year Akarnae by Lynette Noni and it was even better this time!
Here's my updated review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Well, having just finished Lady Cop Makes Trouble by Amy Stewart, I've now read #1, #2, and #4 of this series, and I have #3 on reserve at the library. These are great historical crime fiction, and I hope we don't have to wait too long for #5 (with whatever clever title that one has).5★s from me

During my holidays I finished Under the Influence from Joyce Maynard
Here is my five star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Even though At Close Range was a marked improvement on the second book of Tara Taylor Quinn's Ivory Nation series, I'm not sorry to have finished the final book.4★s

Does My Head Look Big in This? is a Young Adult book that I'd be happy to recommend even for some pre-teens. Aussie author Randa Abdel-Fattah writes about an Aussie Muslim teenager wanting to wear a hijab to school in spite of her parents' worries. YIKES!
