Carolyn | 9971 comments After really enjoying the first book in Simon McCleave's Snowdonia crime series I was disappointed with the second book The Harlech Beach Killings (DI Ruth Hunter #2) by Simon McCleave The Harlech Beach Killings.
I'm hoping that book #3 will be better!

Carolyn | 9971 comments Eight Detectives by Alex Pavesi Eight Detectives by Alex Pavesi was an unusual read in that I didn't totally enjoy or appreciate the cleverness of the book until I got to the end.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10046 comments The Liar's Dictionary by British author, Eley Williams is my second "dictionary" novel this year, and while it was an enjoyable read, it didn't reach the heights of The Dictionary of Lost Words, coincidentally by another Williams, Pip Williams.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10046 comments I really enjoyed having one of my favourite romcoms, The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion, read to me in a Aussie accent by Dan O'Grady. And thanks to Wollongong City Libraries and Borrowbox, I can get him to read me the next two Don Tillman books as well.
5★s
