Aussie author, Paul Starr's debut novel, Prior Regrets, wrapped in an evocative Art-Deco style cover, is one of those novels that has you thinking about what happened long after the final page is turned.4.5★s

It's a few years since I read David Nicholls One Day so I'd forgotten just how sad some of the later chapters are. Anna Bentinck's narration had me blubbering in places. 5★s

I'm working my way through all the Vicki Tyley books on my kindle, and her second Sleight Malice weaves the characters into a web of lies and deceit. Gripping Aussie crime fiction.3.5★s

I’ve just discovered that I have somehow missed reading #12 Killing Mind in this series 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ so I’m reading it next. Fortunately individual books in this series can just as easily be read as a stand alone.
Lost Property by Helen Paris is a wonderfully heartwarming story - highly recommended.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My view of 
Clear Skies by Suzanne Cass -- 5★ -- 09/05/2021
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
It's almost beyond me how Aussie journalist Shannon Molloy survived his teens as a gay kid in a country town, but I'm glad he did! His memoir, Fourteen: My year of darkness, and the light that followed is sad and funny and worth a listen. 
4★ Link to my review of Fourteen
I can see a market opening up for dog buttons! How Stella Learned to Talk: The Groundbreaking Story of the World's First Talking Dog is a fascinating look at author Christina Hunger's work with pre-lingual kids who need help communicating and how she adapted her techniques so her dog Stella can communicate. And boy, does Stella 'talk'! Terrific!
