Christmas Ever After by Jaimie Admans
I'm not fond of reading Christmas books too early, but this was a September release, and a Jaimie Admans book at that! As lovely as all her other works.

DNF My thoughts about Starry Skies Over The Chocolate Pot Café by Jessica Edland
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Acclaimed Aussie author Michael Robotham's Joe O'Loughlin series is always excellent. The Wreckage takes place between Baghdad, London, and Washington and would be a great read on its own.

Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody by Patrick Ness is such a fun read that I can forgive Robert G Slade’s woeful Australian accent for Principal Wombat and give his rendition of the audio 5★s anyway. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
