Both of them Andy. Check the top of the group's main page - we always have two for Aussie Readers and one for the Crime group.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10038 comments Two Steps Onward, the follow up to Two Steps Forward by husband and wife author team Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist is both a thought-provoking and heart-warming read. Surprises and wise words. I would love to check out the pilgrim hostel this pair designs...

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10038 comments A while back I read a review praising the audio version of Ann Patchett's The Dutch House, read by actor Tom Hanks. I suggested Wollongong City Libraries order in a copy, which they did, and I have now had the unalloyed pleasure of listening to this wonderful story read by a narrator perfectly suited. Highly recommended!!

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10038 comments All Mick Herron's books are entertaining, but narrated by the gravel-voiced Seán Barrett, an absolute pleasure to listen to. Real Tigers is best not listened to in the Quiet Carriage on public transport: Herron's dry English humour provides many laugh-out-loud moments.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10038 comments Aussie/NZ author Jacqueline Bublitz has penned an accomplished debut novel in Before You Knew My Name. The dead narrator might remind you of The Lovely Bones, but the story is very different, topical and thought-provoking. Definitely a 5★ read.

Deb Omnivorous Reader | 1929 comments I just finished The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness

I give it a four star, because I really enjoyed it, as I tend to with this authors writing. While it won the Guardian's Children's Fiction Prize, this creative sci-fi Lite story is not one I found terribly childish. It has some strong questions about humanity and self, and perhaps a bit too much (non-graphic) violence for some people's choice for children's reading.
