Just started 'The School' by Brendan James Murray

[Sharon]

For the last few days I’ve been reading The Last of the Apple Blossom by Mary-Lou Stephens and I’ve just this minute finished it.

This is a BRILLIANT book. So many mixed emotions whilst reading this book. And the amount of research that has gone into this book is outstanding. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ LOVED IT.

My review for Woman Last Seen by Adele Parks: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I enjoyed it, but more for the family dynamics than the mystery.

[Icewineanne]

Enjoying The Jazz Files more than I thought I would. Another series to follow!! 🙀 🤣

[Sharon]

I’m currently reading The Wattle Island Book Club by Sandie Docker and I’m LOVING IT. I’m on chapter six, but something tells me already I’m going to need tissues.😢 I do hope I’m wrong. 😊

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

She writes excellent stories Sharon :) I loved this one!!

[Suz]

I'm loving this, narrated by the author. So interesting!



I had no idea the breadth of experience of this author!

[Icewineanne]

Started Flight to Coorah Creek, very good so far 😊

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I haven't read this one Anne - I'll be looking forward to your thoughts when you're done :)

[Colin]

Mine is an Aussie Book!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Arcadia

There you go.

[Icewineanne]

Currently reading & enjoying part mystery & lots family drama Missing by Erin Kinsley
It’s for the May calendar of books challenge & it has such a beautiful cover!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

It certainly has Anne!! And sounds intriguing :)

[Kim]

I'm not a great lover of poetry but was inspired to read this as it was the theme of Patrick Gale's latest book, Mother's Boy:-

Collected Poems 1951-1975 by Charles Causley

Quite appropriate to be reading this at the moment as we are in Cornwall on holiday, where the author lived and many of his poems are based.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

What a great coincidence Kim!

[Marianne]

Currently reading
And

How similar are these covers !

[Glenn]

This thread hasn't been used in while so I thought I might breathe some fresh air into it! :)

I'm currently reading 3 books: The Next Girl, The Everyday Hero Manifesto and The Climate Book.

[Lynne]

I have just finished The Real James Herriot

and I am now reading The Princess and the Scoundrel.

[Deb]

Currently reading by Luke Horton and it is Australian. An Aussie couple from Melbourne go on holiday to Bali.

Kind of the stereotypical, Aussie, resort holiday.

I am not LOVING it so far, nicely written, but in third person so I feel detached from the characters who, while realistic, are not particularly nice.

Would probably work for people who like reading unlikeable characters.

What are you thinking of The Next Girl Glenn?

Brenda wrote: "What are you thinking of The Next Girl Glenn?"

Hi Brenda, I just finished reading The Next Girl. Sensational story and I am not typically a fiction reader, but I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Now I've dropped fiction for the moment and started Don't Sweat the Small Stuff for Men.



I have no doubt there is more fiction in my future, I'll be sure to post about it when I find my next one. :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Glenn, I have a copy here, so must read it soon! Enjoy your next read!
