Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9976 comments Spook Street was the first book in Mick Herron's Slough House/Jackson Lamb series that I read, and I was immediately hooked enough to go back to #1 and read them in order. Sean Barrett's gravelly tones are absolutely perfect for the audio version.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9976 comments And Now You're Back by British author, Jill Mansell is the perfect antidote for a rather disappointing romcom I reviewed here a few days ago. Fans of Happy Ever After should look no further.

Cathy Donnelly | 6 comments I love Steven A. McKay’s books. I don’t tend to read series much, but after I read The Druid (Warrior Druid of Britain Book 1) and loved it, I started Book 2, Song of the Centurion, which I am almost finished, and then I will start the Book 3 – The Northern Throne. I hope I don’t become obsessed, because I have quite a few books on my To Read list.

My review of The Druid.

Andrea | 2164 comments I've been walking in France and Italy with Two Steps Onward, a sequel to Two Steps Forward. This time I probably didn't get as strong a sense of being there as I did last time, but I still enjoyed it very much.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9976 comments Despite the plot holes and the unconvincing (for me anyway) ending, I do think Catch Us The Foxes by Aussie author Nicola West is a fairly impressive debut novel. I think the cover is ugly, though, and I doubt that Kiama will like the way it has been portrayed...
3.5★s

PattyMacDotComma | 3299 comments Carry: A Memoir of Survival on Stolen Land, by Métis author Toni Jensen, is a collection of powerful essays and stories about dispossession, trafficking, gun violence and general abuse of and disregard for the First Nations peoples of the Americas.

Jensen has had quite a life and shares it, warts and all.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9976 comments I read the print version of Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer nine years ago and found it funny and moving. The audio version is read by Jeff Woodman, Barbara Caruso and Richard Ferrone who really do the text justice.

Jülie ☼♄  (jlie) | 6581 comments My reading of late has become very random and I’ve decided to just go with it and read whatever takes my interest rather than be guilt ridden from the vulgar accusatory stare of my burgeoning tbr pile 😆 I figure at least I’m reading.

My most recently finished read was: Is This Me? by Aussie author Anita Horan
Is This Me? by Anita Horan
It is a Memoir and #1 in a trilogy which I read about by chance in an online review and found very interesting and moving in parts.
I gave it 4⭐️s

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9976 comments I would have to say that Freeze Frame, the fourth book in Peter May's Enzo Macleod series, is the best thus far. I was certain I had guessed the murderer, but the author had me completely fooled.
