Aussie author Terence J. Quinn's The Scoop is a rip-roaring modern pirate story that may make you rethink what fun it would be to sail around the world. Many readers have loved it, so I feel like a traitor!
3.5★ Link to my 'Scoop' review
I do enjoy Aussie Emma Viskic's deaf detective, Caleb Zelic, his deaf community, his Aboriginal extended family, and the harrowing escapades he gets caught up in in spite of his best intentions. Darkness for Light is the third in the series.

Ambulance Girls Under Fire by Deborah Burrowshttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I was very pleased to see that Wollongong City Libraries had the Bolinda audio version of The Department of Sensitive Crimes by Alexander McCall Smith available via Borrowbox, so I could drive and do chores while listening. I’m sure I wasn’t laughing out loud quite so much when I read the hard-copy, which means Saul Reichlin must be an excellent narrator. 5★s

This is a lovely novel about an elderly woman traveling to Antarctica to see the penguins.
Away with the Penguins by Hazel Priormy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
# 2 in Gregg Hurwitz's Orphan X series, The Nowhere Man is probably better than #1, and I can see it becoming addictive in a suspend-all-disbelief-and-hold-on-for-a-wild-ride kind of way. 4.5★s

5 STARS! My review for Big Lies in a Small Town by Diane Chamberlain
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I am a firm fan of Louise Penny's Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec. I love visiting the fictional village of Three Pines, although it does seem to have a lot of homicides! How the Light Gets In is my favourite in the series so far.

My review of
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day by Winifred Watson, written in 1938 and republished recently. It's quite a charming little story, although a couple of misogynist and racist comments threw me and reminded me that societal views were somewhat different back then.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
