Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10009 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) | 10009 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 | 3319 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.

PattyMacDotComma | 3319 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.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10009 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
