A short review for non-fiction This Is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor by Adam Kay. No need to mention what it's about, as the title says it all!https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This one has lain in the mossy vault of my TBR list for some time. My review of the gothic thriller, Evening's Land
by Pauline West 3★https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Well, that was different! From the dark prologue, it was hard to say where In the Name of the Father: Some Vows Aren't Meant to Be Broken. was going. There are plenty of surprises and it is darkly funny in places. This sexy, romantic tale of intrigue is probably best enjoyed by ignoring any plot holes, forgiving Lottie her sometimes-dubious morals and her copious alcohol consumption, embracing the melodrama and just going along for the ride. 3.5★s

Even before I heard Michael Robotham talk about his brilliant new book featuring Cyrus Raven and Evie Cormac at Collins Booksellers in Thirroul last November, I wanted to read Good Girl, Bad Girl. But the advantage of being so late to the party reading it is that now, thanks to NetGalley and Hachette Australia, I can, without delay, jump into another dose of this fascinating pair in the sequel, When She Was Good. (Watch this space…)5★s for this one

John Boyne probably broke all kinds of rules writing his new novel, A Traveller at the Gates of Wisdom, so of course, I loved it!

Thanks to Phrynne and Goodreads friends, I enjoyed a delightful short story, by Amor Towles who wrote the highly acclaimed A Gentleman in Moscow. This story, A Whimsy of the World, is a real treat. Trust me. Read it and enjoy if you haven't already!
5★ My 'Whimsy' review, with a link to the story
On a completely different note, I recently read Taboo by much-awarded Australian Indigenous author Kim Scott, about contemporary SW Western Australia. (the bottom left corner of the country) Pretty strong stuff. Australia's Black Lives Matter.
4★ My review of 'Taboo'
A short review for The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell - a satisfying gothic read 4★https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
