Finished my 3rdRead a book where the Title letters fit in - MENTAL HEALTH
All About Ella by Meredith Appleyard(AA) 4*
Hi Brenda,Unfortunately, I had to change my #3 read, as "Just My Luck" by Adele Parks is not available until December. I am reading "Other People's Houses" by Kelli Hawkins (AA) instead, as it too has water on the cover. I have updated my original post (58) to reflect change.

No problem Nicole, it's perfectly acceptable to change your original choice, as long as it fits the criteria still! And it obviously does :) Happy reading :)
Finished 2/4A very interesting read which I enjoyed.
#3. Read a book with water on the cover
Surviving Savannah by Patti Callahan - 4★

I swap my books all the time, Nicole, because something else catches my eye that I want to read more than what I chose. I don't read as fast or as much as Brenda and Phrynne, so I'll never fit them all in if I don't adjust my choices. 😊
This is one I swapped for something that I didn't like.Read a book where the Title letters fit in - MENTAL HEALTH
I don't always like books that win the Booker Prize, but Moon Tiger by Penelope Lively is terrific. It was even shortlisted for the Golden Booker, best in 50 years. Straight to the favourites list (or the pool room, for Aussies 😊).

Finished my November challenge. Really enjoyed 'After Darkness' by Christine Piper.

Water on the coverThe Way it is Now, by Aussie author Garry Disher, is the latest addition to his popular mysteries. Small, unspoiled beach town, old disappearance (crime?), and old wounds make for good reading.
4★ Link to my review of The Way it is Now
Colourful flowers on the coverThis Shining Life by Harriet Kline has a very pretty cover showing a young boy, after his dad has died, looking for what makes life worth living.
3.5★ Link to my Shining Life review
