The Lost Soul Atlas by Zana Fraillon is a fantastical book for young readers, but it's just as entertaining for grown-ups. Life or afterlife or somewhere in between? Twiggy tries to find himself and his Da.
4.5★ Link to my Lost Soul Atlas review
As part of my 2020 personaly chalenge to read 'the classics' I just finished Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft ShelleyIt was an annoying, 1* read for me, I did not care for it at all and I do not believe that many people who claim to like this 'story' can possibly have read the whole thing as adults. It is wordy full of meh and has less morals than the banned novel American Psycho

My review of Death in a Mood Indigo by Francine Mathews
3 and a half stars

I know I am always guaranteed a great read when Kate Atkinson is the author, so perhaps that explains why I was laughing so much during Steven Crossley's reading of When Will There Be Good News?, I was anticipating all those good bits. I had forgotten some of the sad bits though....5★s

4 stars for this romance by an Aussie Author
Second Chance Lane by Nicola Marshhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Here's my review for an excellent piece of Australian writing, a 5 star read for me.
The Rip by Mark Brandihttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I always look forward to any book by Karin Slaughter and there's extra anticipation for a Will and Sara book. The Silent Wife more than met my expectations: a brilliant read, and I laughed more than I would have expected (was Faith Mitchell always this funny?)5★s

Dale, your link goes to the book not your review.
What mother in her right mind enlists the help of her fourteen-year-old daughter so she can have an affair with her husband's best friend? Adrienne Brodeur had just such a mother, and she tells all in her autobiography, Wild Game: My Mother, Her Lover, and Me. It's all true and quite a read!

Steve Shanahan is just the right voice for Jane Harper's debut novel, The Dry.5★s

Here's my review of Silent Ridge (ARC released under title Dark Falls: A gripping crime thriller and mystery) by Gregg Olsen (Megan Carpenter #3). I felt this was one for which I'd have had greater appreciation if I'd read #1 and #2 in the series first.

Loss Lake: A Novel by American author, Amber Cowie starts with an interesting premise, but just doesn't quite deliver.3.5★s

Ian McGuire's highly acclaimed novel, The North Water, is the brutal story of a nineteenth-century whaling expedition that goes terrifyingly wrong. It is also brilliant!
5★ Link to my North Water review
Carlos Ruiz Zafón's Cemetery of Forgotten Books series has been up and down for me, but The Prisoner of Heaven was definitely on the up-side.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'll have to hang my Do Not Disturb sign up while I go back to do my re-reads.
I was disappointed in B.A. Paris's latest thriller
The Therapist which just didn't seem to go anywhere after a great start.my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I recently finished #2 in the Jackson Brodie series, One Good Turn and am happy to report it was just as good as the first.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
