Kira, would you be able to link your books please? That way we can check out your choices and in the case of various books with the same title (of which there seem to be lots!) we would then look at the right one;) Thanks:)

Lol, Oh how I wish I could like you comment. It made me chuckle. :D

thanks, Trevor

Glad you got a chuckle Kiera, have you read the book?

Emergence
There you go Trevor:)

There you go Trevor:)

Thanks, Brenda

No I haven't Lynxie. I know there's the old adage of 'don't judge a book by its cover,' but I always thought it looked to be a bit of a bore.

Great review, Mary. A Town alike Alice is my backup Australian title for the Summer challenge... I still have to decide whether to read it, or my original choice, [book:The Secret Keeper|16002675] by Kate Morton, which is a much longer book!
Finished my 8th - my 2nd S - Shooting Butterflies by T.M. Clark 5★s

Great review, Trevor. I've added it my TRB and grabbed a copy from Smashwords :)


I liked the chapters set in the past, during the war, the rest of it not so much.

Looking forward to this one :)

You're streaming ahead Jules! Leave some for next year ;)
