I've enjoyed every book I've read so far by Aussie author, Fiona Lowe and Rebecca Macauley does a wonderful job of reading Just an Ordinary Family.5★s

Here's my review for an excellent psychological mystery, The Guest List by English author Lucy Foley. For Aussie Readers who are participating in the April Challenge, if you are looking for a book set on an island, this would be a good choice.

I am curretnly reading
the debut novel by Australian Hilde HintonWhile it is beautifully written and full of small details that make it feel realistically vivid.... I am on page 118 and there does not seem to be any plot or story arc. That, when combined with the extraordinarily acute detachment of the narrative makes me unable to read for more than a few pages at a time. It is most odd.

Lana's War by Anita Abrielhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'm ashamed to say I have had the second book in Robert Pobi's Lucas Page series sitting on my NetGalley list for eight months. But having read book #1, I've now read #2, Under Pressure, and I do hope the author has more books in mind for this cast of characters. Very entertaining.5★s

I'll bet you've never heard of some of the great festivals in A Year Full of Celebrations and Festivals: Over 90 fun and fabulous festivals from around the world! by Claire Grace and Christopher Carr. What fun - I love any excuse to celebrate!
4.5★ Link to my review of Festivals and Celebrations
Megan Rapinoe is such a champion of soccer that it's going to be hard to top her. This is another great addition by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara to the Little People BIG Dream series for kids.

The Last One Home by Victoria Helen Stone. Not my favourite of this author's as it took too long to get to the drama and suspense but had an original premise and ended well.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Here's my review of The Paris Dressmaker by Kristy Cambron. It's a good story, but I found it a bit of a marathon read.

Kirsten Potter achieves the perfect tone for the snarky Kate Battista in the audio version of Anne Tyler's contribution to the Hogarth Shakespeare project, Vinegar Girl. Laugh-out-loud funny!5★s

I love Lost Property, a truly accomplished debut novel by British author, Helen Paris, so much that I have used far too many words in my review. I love this as much as Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, almost as much as The Dictionary of Lost Words.5★s
