It's been ages since I read the first book in Kate Atkinson's Jackson Brodie series, Case Histories, and I knew revisiting it would be a guaranteed good read, but I had no idea Susan Jameson's narration would be so brilliant. I laughed so much!5★s

I just finished The First Stone: Some Questions About Sex and Power by one of my favourite Aussie authors, Helen Garner. Men AND women; men VS women? This 25th anniversary edition includes other writings about Garner and the lively controversy over the indecent assault scandal.
5★ My review of The First Stone

One Way Street by Trevor Wood is the follow up to his excellent debut The Man on the Street, a thriller featuring an ex soldier with PTSD living on the gritty streets of Newcastle who witnessed a murder. In this episode he is investigating a string of deaths from a deadly new drug.my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I'm enjoying starting Elly Griffiths Dr Ruth Galloway (forensic archaeologist) series from the beginning. Although I've read most of the later books (picked up randomly from used book stores), I missed a few of the earlier ones so it's good to fill in the gaps. Here's my review for #3 in the series:
The House at Sea's End review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Just finished this... absolutely loved it. It'a a time travel thing (which I rarely read), but this was so much more, with such purpose. Wow! This touched me! See review here:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Top marks to AA Dave Warner for his crime novel
Clear to the Horizon. One of the best books I have read all year. 5★https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This is another cute cartoon biography for kids of Steve Jobs by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara. All libraries should have collections of this Little People BIG DREAMS series to inspire kids' curiosity. I always learn something from them and end up looking for more details!
4★ My review of "Steve Jobs"
The Kopp Sisters are as entertaining as ever in Amy Stewart's third in this historical mystery series, Miss Kopp's Midnight Confessions. New Jersey just before America's entry into World War One makes a great setting.
