Sarah | 1543 comments I'm creaking back into gear after a reviewing funk... here's my first for the year, #5 in Marion Todd's D.I Clare Mackay series, Next in Line. A good read and another series to catch up on...

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments This second instalment in the Farm to Table series by Amanda Flower, Put Out to Pasture, is a pleasant enough read as rural cosies go, but not quite entertaining enough for me to go back and read #1, or continue with the series.

The author mixes several different themes but it comes together nicely. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments You don't have to be a parent to enjoy Fredrik Backman's little book of advice to his son. Things My Son Needs to Know About The World is a laugh-out-loud funny, poignant and insightful read.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments The Wedding Setup: A Short Story by Sonali Dev is a predictable little dose of romance that will appeal to fans of swooning love stories with an Indian flavour.

Hi Colin - Brenda and Phrynne are the experts, but because I'm about to post a link to one of my reviews, I'll just say that generally, members write a review (as you have done) and then copy a link to the review here to let the rest of us know there's a new one to read.

(I tend to edit my link, but lots of people just copy and paste the URL. Makes no difference!)

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments I've decided to read some of the 'good' books I somehow missed when they were published, and the 1995 Pulitzer winner, The Stone Diaries by Carol Shields was one. What a writer! A life in a century!

When you open a comment box, you see "add book/author" at the top left of the box. click on that and you can add the link to the book you've reviewed. To add a link to your review, you need to have copied the web address (looks like https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...) from the page your review is on, in your case https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments Australian author Ali Lowe’s debut novel, The Trivia Night has an original plot with an excellent final twist, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, although the characters are free with expletives (if this offends). A brilliant read from an author to watch.
