My review of 
Outback Desire by Suzanne Brandyn -- 5★ -- 27/08/2022
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'm catching up on a mountain of ironing, and having Karlyn Stephen read me any of Alexander McCall Smith's Isabel Dalhousie series, even a short story like The Perils of Morning Coffee, is the ideal accompaniment. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Unlikely Animals by Annie Hartnett is a delightful read about a quirky but fractured family.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Even though I figured out early in the story what was going on, there was still enough intrigue in the third instalment of Robert Pobi's Lucas Page series, Do No Harm, to keep me turning the pages. 4.5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Everything We Never Knew by Elizabeth Wilder
Literary fiction lovers with a penchant for poetic writing might enjoy this indie read.

The Sweet Remnants of Summer, the fourteenth book in the Isabel Dalhousie series, is another delightfully entertaining dose of Alexander McCall Smith. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My review of Truth by Peter Temple. About as Aussie as they come. I can't help but feel all the hype for The Dry would have been better directed back to this book, which is superior in every way.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4784905018
For those who like a little grunt in their reading, my review of The Angry Sea
by James Deegan 5★https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The only problem with the books Rachel Joyce writes is the temptation to fill the review with beautiful quotes. Even with this novella, Maureen Fry and the Angel of the North , I can’t help myself. A moving conclusion to the Harold Fry trilogy. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
4 stars for contemporary domestic drama
The Cast Aways of Harewood Hall by Aussie Author Karen HerbertMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I just read The Thing Around Your Neck, a collection of short stories by Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Her people and settings range from the United States to both cities and traditional villages in Nigeria.
4★ My review
I have also read an old, but still hair-raising, short story about four men in a small dinghy on the high seas!
The Open Boat
by Stephen Crane is excellent. I have added links to the story and other info in my review.
5★ My review
Karlyn Stephen is still making my chores more bearable by reading to me another of Alexander McCall Smith's Isabel Dalhousie novels, The Novel Habits of Happiness. 5★s

The Cabin in the Woods by Sarah Alderson
Expected something a lot creepier because of that title. Not a bad book, but somewhat farfetched and predictable.
