Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10038 comments Aussie author, Kelly Rimmer has a talent for tugging at the heart-strings, and her sixth novel, The Warsaw Orphan (out 28th April) is a moving read. I didn't connect with the characters quite the way I have in her previous books so 4★s

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10038 comments If you find yourself in need of a funny, feel-good read, then treat yourself to Richard Glover's latest book, Love, Clancy: A Dog's Letters Home. The audio, read by Richard, is especially good!
(Note: This book is laugh-out-loud funny so the standard warning about reading in the Quiet Carriage on public transport, reading while eating/drinking, and continence issues applies here.)
5★s

Carolyn | 9957 comments Before My Actual Heart Breaks by Tish Delaney Before My Actual Heart Breaks by Tish Delaney is a character driven novel, set in Ireland during the Troubles, telling the tale of a pregnant teenager forced into a strangely loveless marriage. A beautiful written debut.

PattyMacDotComma | 3340 comments Booker-winning, Tasmanian Richard Flanagan has written a remarkable parable for our times. During Australia's Black Summer of bushfires, three adult children play tug-of-war over their dying mother, while her mind is often floating in The Living Sea of Waking Dreams. Suspension of disbelief is required, as the daughter's finger disappears and almost nobody notices.
