As I thought Liza Perrat's first book set in Wollongong, The Silent Kookaburra, was an excellent read, the second book (which is not a sequel) The Swooping Magpie had to be on my To Be Read list. And I was not disappointed.5★s

Sir Robert Carey is as dashing and daring as ever in A Surfeit of Guns, the third in P.F. Chisholm's fun series about the English and Scots battling and thieving in the border country in Elizabethan England. Love it!

Now that I am well and truly hooked on Amy Stewart's Kopp Sisters series, I am glad we only have to wait until September for #5, Kopp Sisters on the MarchThis one, #3 Miss Kopp's Midnight Confessions is just as good as all the others.

by Charlaine HarrisI have read a fair bit by this author and I am often lukewarm in my feelings about her writing. This one, like many others of hers was a pleasant, unchallenging read. Would recommend to fans of Harris' writing.

Here's my review for The Scholar by Dervla McTiernan - a great follow-up to her 2018 debut.

Sydney's Mardi Gras begins today, so I thought I'd reintroduce this wonderful memoir of a man who started life as a determinedly reluctant little girl. Balls: It Takes Some to Get Some by Chris Edwards is both fascinating and funny!

Just finished I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson. A YA novel, so I am not the target audience, but a little to much reliance on "fate" in this one for me.But I can see why others have enjoyed it more than I.
★★★☆
My review of Miles Off Course by AA Sulari Gentill 3.5★'s rounded up to 4★https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Just finished The Shop at Hoopers Bend by Emily Rodda.A quick, YA, AA half day read, set in Australia, that I really enjoyed. Was CBCA shortlisted in 2018 - so if you like the genre, give it a go.
★★★★
Today I finished the excellent River of Salt by Dave Warner
