I often think about boys like Paul, the ones with such strong desires but no idea of what it takes to fulfill them. Willa Cather's short story, Paul's Case, is unforgettable.

I haven't heard much fanfare about AAEliza Henry-Jones' new release, Salt and Skin, but it deserves a trumpet or two. It was my first experience of this author and I found it enthralling.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My review for
All That's Left Unsaid by Tracey Lienhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I really struggled to write a review on this book as I think it has a very important message and I didn't want to undermine it.

Protecting Their Destiny by Erin Moira O'Harahttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...Oh I LOVED this one!!! Why haven't I read more books with a tennis setting? So good!
The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas
A YA Fantasy on the lines of 'The Hunger Games' but with Mexican-inspired mythology instead. A fun read but mainly for its target reader segment.

Just ignore the somewhat misleading blurb and go with Fiona Macleod's excellent narration of this marvellous Aussie historical fiction: The Secret World of Connie Starr by Robbi Neal. 4.5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Kylie H wrote: "Bad link there Patty"Oops - thanks, I'll try again, Kylie.
John Boyne finally wrote an adult sequel to his much-loved The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and it is terrific! All the Broken Places is older sister Gretel's 'autobiography' from when she was the 12-year-old daughter of a Nazi officer, then passing as French in Australia, and finally to the age of 92 in London. What a story!
5★ My review of All the Broken Places
I don't share my picture book reviews in any group, but as most of you are Australian, maybe you would like to give this indie Sydney-based author a try. I Will Always Be Proud of You by Michael Wong
One of the best picture books I've read. Would work wonderfully even for gifting to expectant and new parents.
