Read whatever, whenever, however.
A busy week as always. It wasn't great for football, but on the upside it means I'll have more time to read (plus a functional voice). I was lucky to receive some books in the mail this week! A Single Thread by Tracy Chevalier (available now, RPR $32.99) arrived thanks to Harper Collins (how did... Continue Reading →
Busy week last week. Fortunately, my Readings order arrived on my night in, plus two new books. Where the Light Enters by Sara Donati (available on 17th September) arrived thanks to Penguin. This chunkster is about two female doctors in the 1880s. Sophie is recently widowed and planning to rebuild her life, but Anna's husband... Continue Reading →
Last week my run of reading non-fiction continued but it's time to move back to the fictional. Who could resist these wonderful books that arrived in the mail this week? (You'll have to wait for another week to see what I actually bought). Love, Unscripted by Owen Nicholls (available tomorrow, RRP $32.99) arrived from Hachette.... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday! The big news in Australia is that it's been snowing in some areas – even at the football! While it's not that cold here, I think the weather will take a turn for the worse this week. Fortunately, the postie delivered some great books and I took the opportunity to buy some (especially... Continue Reading →
Last week was fun. I saw a new movie, met up with Kim from Reading Matters and organised a swap group for Coles Little Shop 2. I also bought a book and received some in the post. (Interestingly, they all have rather wintry covers). The Guardian of Lies by Kate Furnivall arrived thanks to Simon... Continue Reading →
In brief: The final book in the Woody Creek series follows Jenny, Georgie, Trudy and Cara as they battle their various demons. The good: Very detailed writing. The not-so-good: If you haven't read the other books in the series, it could be a bit confusing. Why I chose it: Haven't read Joy Dettman before –... Continue Reading →
It was a bumper week for books, which was great because it certainly wasn't a good one for the weather! It looks like July is going to be a great month for staying in… The Emerald Tablet by Meaghan Wilson Anastasios (available 25th June) arrived from Pan Macmillan. It features archaeologist Benedict Hitchens once again,... Continue Reading →
In brief: Isabelle has had an eventful life but has three beautiful – and incredibly different – daughters. But a chain of events sets off one more secret that needs to be revealed… The good: Isabelle's life is never boring – both heartbreaking and fascinating. The not-so-good: Perhaps the blurb gives away a bit too... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday – hope the mothers out there had a good day yesterday! I received three books last week, plus I bought two (couldn't resist). The Day the Lies Began by Kylie Kaden (released August) was a lovely surprise from Pantera Press. I've enjoyed Kylie's novels previously and I can't wait to see what she... Continue Reading →
