Read whatever, whenever, however.
A topsy turvy week. I think the best thing was the great books I read! Over the Hill & Up the Wall by Todd Alexander (also available 8th March) arrived with thanks to Harper Collins. It’s about children, and parents, and how they can drive each other crazy particularly as parents age. Becoming Mrs Mulberry... Continue Reading →
In brief: Marick is in an awkward place with respect to faith and the loss of his family when he is sent to be the sole chaplain at a large tertiary hospital. Things get even stranger in this labyrinth when he makes a friend who is growing bacteria with gold in the basement that generates... Continue Reading →
I think last week was quite productive, with some problems solved. It was also a good week for book mail, after several parcels have been lost: Tiny Uncertain Miracles by Michelle Johnston arrived with thanks to Harper Collins. It’s set in a big, public hospital (that may or may not be familiar to me) as... Continue Reading →
Today is a long weekend and it’s nice to have a few days off! I’m a bit perplexed as to where everyone went – the roads and shops were so quiet! But no matter, it’s a good time to catch up on book shopping and reading: The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding by Holly Ringland... Continue Reading →
Not as much reading for pleasure this week, but that just means I have some great reads ahead: Girls They Write Songs About by Carlene Bauer (available 5th July) arrived thanks to Bloomsbury. Set in 1990s New York, Charlotte and Rose become friends as they make their way through their lives. As they get older,... Continue Reading →
Last week was great for parcels! (No time for shopping). Close to Home by Janet Gover (available 3rd February) arrived from Harlequin. Alice loves her small town and wants to keep it exactly as is – until Lucienne and her grandson Simon come to town. There’s a chemistry between Simon and the new school teacher,... Continue Reading →
In brief: Juliet's grandparents have been murdered and now she and her sister are being targeted. Could it be true their loving grandfather holds the key to a Nazi secret? The good: Very strong debut novel. The not-so-good: I found the end a little over the top (but then aren't all good thrillers?) Why I... Continue Reading →
Happy Easter. It's been too hot here for chocolate so I'm waiting until the weather cools down. Other than that, I've not done too much but wait for the postie, read, be online and work. My order from Readings in Melbourne arrived, as did three separate deliveries in the space of about 15 minutes (super... Continue Reading →
A very different world this week. I haven't done a lot of reading because I've been out stalking toilet paper for sale for older folk but I think that will change. Everything I have planned has been cancelled, bar one event (which I'm expecting that will be cancelled today). My five-month holiday has turned out... Continue Reading →
I simply cannot list my best reads for 2019 until the end of the year. What if I finish a really great book on December 29? (Plus, today is my birthday so I can do anything I want). Traditionally, I try to cull my list to ten but then I remembered that this is my... Continue Reading →
