Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9974 comments The worst thing about Garry Disher's Hirsch books is having to decide between dragging it out to prolong the enjoyment or devouring it as fast as possible. I found it impossible not to race through Day's End. 5★s

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9974 comments Dorje Swallow's narration is a bit over-emphatic for me, but any book by Garry Disher is a guaranteed good read and #8 in his Wyatt series, The Heat is no exception. 5★s

The Dust Bowl Orphans by Suzette D. Harrison
A historical fiction worth reading, though it goes a bit OTT towards the end.

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments I'm sure The Sisters: Short Story, from James Joyce's much studied Dubliners, would have stirred up as much controversy then as the subject does today.
The Sisters Short Story by James Joyce 3★ My review of The Sisters


message 2817: by PattyMacDotComma (new)

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments I enjoyed the latest (last?) pilgrimage that Rachel Joyce's characters have made to the north of England. This time, it's the missus who looks for answers in Maureen Fry and the Angel of the North. Another good trip.
Maureen Fry and the Angel of the North (Harold Fry #3) by Rachel Joyce 4★ My review of Maureen Fry


message 2818: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn | 9836 comments I loved Emily St. John Mandel's latest novel Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel Sea of Tranquility. I especially love that you never know where she is going in a novel, and it's always somewhere unexpected.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9974 comments I may be well beyond the target age for Craig Silvey's latest novel, Runt, but it just demonstrates what a talented author he is that I reached the final page with a huge smile on my face. Thank you, Mr Silvey! 5★s
