The Dragon Man | Garry Disher

Pickpick

In rural Australia, 2 women have gone missing. The body of the first has been found and the second is sought, along with the suspected killer, horrifying this small community. We mainly follow the lead investigator here, but the cast of characters is (too) broad. There‘s a great red herring, but the vast cast sometimes made this confusing. A low pick for me.

Searching for Charmian | Suzanne Chick

Pickpick

It‘s been a while since I enjoyed a book as much as I did this one. It‘s set me off researching other books. Watching Gina Chick on Who Do You Think You are and filling in the pieces not available to Suzanne when she wrote this book 30 years ago. How much we inherit and how much is environmental and then comes the choices we make. So interesting. Loved loved loved it.

Rissreadswithcats I‘m listening to this now and loving it! 7h

Australia Day | Melanie Cheng

Mehso-so

An ex library book I got it not knowing it was short stories. I‘m not a fan of short stories. I was in my younger days. Anyway I gave this a go. The best story was the last one which was titled Australia Day. So that made me glad I had persevered and made it to the end. A story I feel is probably close to the authors heart.

Jeg Just realised 🤷🏻‍♂️she is the author of The Burrow which I loved. 1w

Homecoming | Kate Morton

My local book club chose ‘Australia‘ as the theme this time. Luckily I had a copy of the selected book - my daughter bought a signed edition for me for Christmas 2023. I‘m looking forward to getting stuck in as Kate Morton is one of my favourite authors.

Between a Wolf and a Dog | Georgia Blain

This book will stay with me for a while. Knowing the authors background and that she died the year this was published made this a thoughtful read for me. A story about relationships, living and dying and more. I loved it. I‘ve read a couple of her books now and loved them all. A talent lost too soon.

CarolynM I loved this one ❤️ It‘s too sad she died so young. 2w
Centique What a wonderful review, i will have to move this up the TBR. 😍 5d

Yesterday‘s op shop purchases after my 3 hours of ballet for the grand total of $39. So relaxing. Nowhere to be and the only thing to do was go home for a wine and a stretch and seafood salad for lunch. Love my weekends.

Nope. Not for me. Too weird. #HailtheBail #BetterBooksAhead

julieclair This was my choice for the June #BookedInTime prompt, 1800‘s Australia. I‘m going to try this one instead (not in Litsy Catalogue) Search for the Light, by Rosemary Noble. @Cuilin 4w
Cuilin Yes 🙌 #HailTheBail Hope your next one is more enjoyable. 4w
kspenmoll Your new choice sounds good. Do you have a kindle/app? It‘s free on kindle ( much as I avoid ordering from Amazon, I still use my kindle) 4w

julieclair @kspenmoll Thanks for the kindle hint! Just downloaded it. And I agree about Amazon. I‘m trying to cut down, but boy, it‘s hard sometimes. Every time I make a different choice, I pat myself on the back. 3w
julieclair @Cuilin Thanks! Fingers crossed!🤞 3w

kspenmoll @julieclair it is a constant challenge. I am Glad Blackwell‘s is back shipping to the US. It helps. 3w
julieclair @kspenmoll Thanks for the reminder about Blackwell‘s! I tend to forget about them unless I want to buy a book that‘s unavailable in the US. 3w
