If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries—What Am I Doing in the Pits? by Erma Bombeck

[Woman Reading]

The Chaos Kind by Barry Eisler

This combines characters from his two other most popular series. As this is the first thing I've read from this author, I can easily report that it works fine as a standalone. Spies on spies action.

I loved all of Erma Bombeck's books and articles and columns. Entertaining and useful!

Don't forget to remember! Having said that, you're probably remembering it all wrong anyway.

Neuroscientist Lisa Genova has got it all covered in Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting, which explains a lot about why we argue about memories and worry about dementia.

Interesting, easy read and excellent resource.
5★ Link to my review of Remember

Aussie journalist and author Tim Ayliffe's John Bailey is the war-weary journo who discovers what working for The Greater Good really means. Dirty politicians, spies, criminals. Contemporary Sydney. Love it!

The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman - 5 stars - My Review

[Woman Reading]

The Catch by Mick Herron
This is a novella featuring John Bachelor. While set in the same milieu as Herron's Slough House series, this story runs independently of it and can be read as a standalone.

I do like a short story. Alexander McCall Smith has written a collection of stories inspired by early 20th-century photos, including the title story Pianos and Flowers: Brief Encounters of the Romantic Kind. I especially loved Blackmail!

Tim Winton is one of Australia's best and most-awarded authors and an all-time favourite of mine. An Open Swimmer was his first novel, written when he was still at uni, and his writing was already magic. I had some trouble with the story.

I'm reading Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams which is extremely interesting to me and justifies my lack of sleep. LOL

Also enjoying Lodestar and the rest of the series.
