4 stars for
The Whispering by Aussie Author Veronica LandoMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I love Sean Barrett's narration of Mick Herron's novels, so I was really pleased to see that Wollongong City Libraries now has the full complement of the Slough House series, including the in-betweens. 5★s for The List.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Coast by AA Eleanor Limprecht is an engrossing historical novel set in the lazaret (leprosy hospital) in the Coast Hospital at Sydney's Little Bay.my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks
Had this on my agenda since ages. Interesting content, but the writing style didn't click well with me.

The Bleeding of the Stone by award-winning Libyan author Ibrahim al-Koni is a short book about a shepherd living in the Sahara desert. It has strong environmental themes about species extinction and reads like a Bedouin folktale with a dose of magical realism and Sufi mysticism. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ here is my review

WoW! Well done Karren! 🏅 👏👏
I'm never disappointed by anything from Catherine Ryan Hyde, her new novels automatically go onto my TBR. So Long, Chester Wheeler is another wonderful read. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Thanks Julie, it took me over four years, and I just posted review number 500.
Katherine Mansfield was one of New Zealand's most well-known authors, and I'm a fan. Her short stories are insightful and biting. Poor

Thanks Krystal.
Bronwen Price's narration of Phyllida Shrimpton's heart-warming and uplifting debut novel, Every Shade of Happy, is excellent. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
It was interesting to read Mick Herron's debut novel,
Down Cemetery Road. While not up to the brilliance of his Slough House series it's still very good and there are lots of key traits evident already in his writing.my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Blood Atonement by S.M. Freedman
Don't go by the drab cover. The story is mind-blowing. Not for everyone though. Check out the triggers.
