Boy oh Boy: From boys to men, be inspired by 30 coming-of-age stories of sportsmen, artists, politicians, educators and scientists by Cliff Leek is a terrific addition to any library where young boys can't miss it.

This is a colourful, fun books for kids. I highly recommend learning and using "Kakistocracy". You'll be glad you did.The Dictionary of Difficult Words: With more than 400 perplexing words to test your wits! by Jane Solomon has a few that tested me, and I'm pretty wordy.

The Red Hot Earl (Love is All Around #1) by Darcy Burke
My Review - 4.5 Stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I recommend you introduce yourselves to the Slow Horses of English mystery author Mick Herron's Slough House series. In #6, they are turned loose into Joe Country. Exciting, snowy, scary, funny, and probably all too real.
5★ My review of Joe Country
I am about to start
The Forgotten Child by D.E. White after finishing the five star
The Last Voyage of Mrs Henry Parker by Joanna Nell. My spoiler free review can be found at https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... and my webpage https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...

No Time to Say Goodbye: A heartbreaking and gripping emotional page turner by Kate Hewitt after finishing what was, for me, a disappointing read of
The Forgotten Child by D.E. White. My spoiler free review can be found at https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
IRRESISTIBLE! Mythologica: An Encyclopedia of Gods, Monsters and Mortals from Ancient Greece by Stephen P. Kershaw has the stories and the most fantastic art by Victoria Topping. Check my review for samples. Unbelievable!

, Long Bright River which is very good, can't seem to put it down right now. I think it's still available on NetGalley since it doesn't publish until January :)
Catch Cat: Discover the world in this search and find adventure is an around-the-world game by Andy Council. He has drawn the continents with tiny cartoon details, amongst which is a cat. The hunt is on!
4★Link to my review with pictures
Still a 5-star favourite after a re-read is Kate Atkinson’s fourth Jackson Brodie book, Started Early, Took My Dog. He just can’t help helping to make up for past tragedies when he was too young to help. 
5★ Link to my “Started Early” review
I read
#taken by Tony Parsons some time back but for some reason never posted my review. So here is my spoiler free review for this gripping read https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/... and https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I See You (Criminal Profiler #2) by Mary Burton
My Review - 4 Stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Just read Aussie author Annie Seaton's latest novel, Undara which is a real place in Far North Queensland - a great setting for an outback family drama. These lava tubes are mysterious caverns, and I included a few pictures.
3.5~4★ Link to my "Undara" review

The Shape of Night by Tess Gerritsen tonight.
I have a lot of books going right now, but these are occupying the lion's share of my attention: The Water Dancer
Imaginary Friend
Conversations with RBG: Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Life, Love, Liberty, and Law
QuantumThe first 3 are NG; the last one is a monthly freebie from Amazon.
I have just finished The Other Wife by Claire McGowan and I loved it.
I'm reading Before Familiar Woods. This is actually my first download and it's BRILLIANT. I was drawn to it because of some of the blurbs it received and the fact that it takes place in my home state. Suspenseful, but much more than that. Moving and beautifully written. Looking forward to more books and more discussions here!

I just enjoyed Aussie author Toni Jordan's new mystery, The Fragments. Double timeline: 1930s New York, 1986 Brisbane. Both believable and both well done!
4★ Link to my review of The Fragments
I found this at the shelf of free books at Pacific Fair (a big shopping Centre on the Gold Coast). I agree that it is a great book and it describes the Brisbane of the '80s vividly. I will read her others. I haven't read your review yet - I wanted to reply straightaway when I saw your post!
Lisa wrote: "I found this at the shelf of free books at Pacific Fair (a big shopping Centre on the Gold Coast). I agree that it is a great book and it describes the Brisbane of the '80s vividly.

Hope some Gold Coast readers snaffle it up and spread the word.
Just finished The Wreckage By Robin Morgan-Bentley My Review here(https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...)Next up an old one, Someone We Know By Shari Lapena
Atlantic Winds by William Prendiville is a novella about teens growing up on a small Canadian island. Reviews range from TERRIFIC to meh. That means: try it - you may love it!

Whistleblower Christopher Wylie tells how information he and others collected to figure out how to prevent radicalisation of Muslim youth was used by Steve Bannon to give us Trump, Brexit, and militant alt-right hate groups instead! Fascinating and terrifying. Mindf*ck: Inside Cambridge Analytica’s Plot to Break the World
5★ Link to my "Mindf*ck" review
Right now I'm reading
, When You See Me. I read a few in the series and it can definitely be a stand alone. So far it's very good, but frightening.
