My review for
The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse, a murder mystery in a hotel in the Swiss Alps cut off from the rest of the world.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My 2.5 Star review of Untamed: Stop pleasing, start living by Glennon Doyle
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Well, I've read the print version of Yann Martel's Life of Pi twice, and seen the movie, but I must say that Sanjeev Bhaskar's narration of the audio version is brilliant. And, unlike the movie, doesn't leave out the very entertaining scene on the promenade where three churchmen try to claim Pi. 5★s

In the Heat of the Night by Susanne Bellamyhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Aussie author Fiona Lowe's fifth novel, A Home Like Ours is a topical, thought-provoking and heart-warming look at small-town Australia. Probably her best yet.5★s

My review for The Family Next Door by Australian Author Sally Hepworth 4★s
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
February is Black History Month, and I found James Baldwin's long story/novella Letter from a region in my mind online from 'The New Yorker Magazine'. Still relevant and worth remembering.

February is Black History Month. Alexander McCall Smith is a white author who created the wonderful Mma Ramotswe in Botswana and The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. She features in The Cleverness of Ladies, a lovely little novella.

Another excellent instalment of the Corinna Chapman series by Kerry Greenwood, I enjoyed Louise Siverson's reading of Trick or Treat, but I'm still not convinced by her version of the delectable Daniel. 5★s

My review for
Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted by Suleika Jaouadhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Unsettled as I was at the time of reading this book and aware of the terrain of the Mallee alongside of the author's vivid descriptions I found this read quite difficult.

I somehow missed reading the first book in Kerry Greenwood's Corinna Chapman series
Earthly Delights, so enjoyed going back and reading how it all started.my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Gopher Golf: A Wordless Picture Book by Karl Beckstrand is exactly that - many pages of pictures. There are enough varied scenes for a little kid to follow as a story and then be encouraged to "tell" a story themselves. Lots of laughs!
3.5★ Link to my Gopher Golf review with several illustrations to give you the idea
Mick Herron, when interviewed about his latest spy thriller, Slough House, recently said "I look at Jackson Lamb and think: My God, did I write that? My mother reads this stuff!" Well, on behalf of mothers and grandmothers everywhere, I say - Keep up the good work! 
5★ Link to my Slough House" review (with a link to the article quoted)
If the book is aimed at 8-12 year-olds, does that mean you can't enjoy it when you're sixty-six? I had to request Weird Kid by Greg Van Eekhout because I was doing a NetGalley test on their audio app, but it was a fun read, even if the synthetic voice was a bit strange.4.5★s

Suzanne Fortin's tale of an elderly man trying to remember his wartime love, The Forgotten Life of Arthur Pettinger is a wonderful read, funny, sad and heart-warming.5★s
