Kristie | 3595 comments I finally finished one this month! I am halfway through my second book, but I don't know if I'll be able to finish it today. I might have to be a November review.

What did you think of it, Kristie? (the review link is broken)

I've enjoyed her books, but had the pants surprised off me when listening to her do an interview and she has an Enlgish accent! We have always claimed her as Australian ;)

That would have surprised me too! I also thought she was Australian.

I thought it was really good and definitely worth a read if you've enjoyed her previous work. It's not really a thriller, but a slow mystery. I really enjoy the way she builds her stories.

Let me try again... I've been having a lot of technical issues with Goodreads today. Survivors review

Works 👍

Great I have it on my list to listen to soon.

She has lives here for a long time and said that her background as a journalist gave her the insight into Australian culture and language. She considers herself Australian - it’s just her accent that gives her away 😂😂

Kristie | 3595 comments That's too funny. She definitely has a feel for the place! She will forever be Australian to me. :) I hope you love the book too.

Melanie (mvalente89) | 1026 comments Overall my number went up by 1 this month, but all the ones I added are 2021 titles. And I did get some of my older ones cleared, so that's good at least even if I fell behind on my current titles again.

Vicki Willis | 496 comments I finished up one more before month's end.
The Push by Claire McGowan The Push

Good book, lots of characters and an interesting storyline.
And! I am ahead of the publication date on this one. :)


message 60: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments Final for me:

Beginning of Month:

Books on Shelf: 5
Netgalley Ratio: 97%

End of Month:

Read & Reviewed: 1
Added: 4

Books on Shelf: 8
Ratio: 96%

I made it halfway through my book that publishes November 3rd, so I hope to have that one done on time. All my adds are for 2021 and I only have 2 left that were already published, so even though my ratio went backwards by 1 I'm still feeling pretty good about my shelf.
