Ria’s comments from the Aussie Readers group.

My Aussie Books of 2022....

I am still working at the moment but think this will change from next week...so I've just enrolled in an online Auslan (Australian Sign Language) course!

I've now moved on to Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman which I'm rather enjoying!"

Oh an absolutely heart breaker of a book...makes your soul hurt a little...

I'm currently reading Too Much Lip first time reading Melissa Lucashenko and loving her writing style!

Medea's Curse by Anne Buist

Inga Simpson is one of my favourite Aussie Authors!

Starting...

What Was Mine by Helen Klein Ross"
I found this one a little disappointing, will be interested to hear what you think...

Yes I eventually realised this! :)

Phrynne wrote: "Great choices Ria. I can see you have several Aussie authors there. Would you label them so every one can see them?"
Ooopss sorry Phrynne I've just seen what you mean!

1. A beautiful coverPast the Shallows byFavel Parrett(AA)
2. A cover you don't like Our Endless Numbered Days by Claire Fuller
3. A colourful cover The Barbershop Girl by Georgina Penney
4. A really appropriate cover The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman(AA)
5. A cover that you love. Tell us why! Mr Wigg by Inga Simpson(AA) because I love the simplicity of this cover, it needs no more than the silhouette of the peach tree to invite you in...
6. A boring cover. Me Before You by Jojo Moyes...if I hadnt read al the hype about this book the cover would not have caught my attention...
7. A flowery cover. Walking on Trampolines by Frances Whiting
8. A scenic cover The Good Daughter by Honey Brown(AA)
9. Reader's choice. Tell us why you chose this cover The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt it again is a simple yet unique cover, I just love the torn paper effect and the sneak peak of a goldfinch, oh and it's a cracker of a (huge) novel!

My 5 would be....
A Savage Hunger
Poppet
Rain Dogs
The Bones Beneath
Darkness on the Edge of Town

Just starting Chain of Evidence

currently reading Silver Bay by Jojo Moyes…loving her books!
