Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments Had anyone told me, before I began reading Sulari Gentill's Rowland Sinclair series, that I would actually choose to read fiction laced with a hefty dose of Australian political history, I would have questioned their sanity. But when Sulari serves it up, it's not only interesting and easy to absorb, but also hugely entertaining.
A Dangerous Language, #8 in the series, is another 5★ read.

And here's one I liked much better - Memory in Death (In Death, #22) by J.D. Robb Memory in Death by J.D. Robb

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments This is the first time I’ve partaken of a novel provided by The Pigeonhole to be read in daily instalments. It’s an interesting experience, but I’m not sure if Aussie journalist and author, Katherine Firkin’s debut Sticks and Stones would have been better read in one sitting. A good first effort.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments I haven't read any books by Gene Wolfe but as I have the sequel, Interlibrary Loan to read on NetGalley, I thought I'd better read the first book, A Borrowed Man. Quite fascinating: a dystopian/sci-fi/murder mystery all rolled into one.

This one has been getting some great reviews so I'm keen to read it. Had to skim your review because looks like you have a few spoilers there and I want to go into this one blind I think!
