Late term op shop after work. My collection of these yellow books is growing next to my orange penguins on my bookshelf. I will use the Easter paper to wrap my special kidlets Easter presents this year and because the school holidays are upon us I may have time for the craft project to put next to my other dolls.
pickA rambling story that could maybe have been a short story, but Todd writes beautifully. The author gives us a story of damaged people who are trying to find their way while the St. John Comet tracks across the skies over Jericho, a town in Australia. We meet Sylvia, whose “1st death” was in a horrific auto accident. We meet Theo, who discovered the comet and is weirdly interested in Sylvia and Joseph who seeks dangerous meaning in the comet.
So sad. One of my most favourite Aussie Authors. Tagged book, one of my favourites in her series about a baker.
so-soThis novel about generational drama I found uneven. The story in London was more compelling to me than the "Then" part set in Australia. Just did not work for me. 2.5 ?

pick4.75⭐️ I really liked this book. The reason for the 1/4 drop is that I felt that the author spent a bit too much time in the book within a book and it could have been condensed down a bit and that Jess could have used her investigative reporting skills a little more than she did. That being said, I quite honestly liked how the book unfolded. I will say nothing more. #2025 #bookreview #bookclub #historicalfiction #fiction
so-soSophie always wondered if Thomas was the one. A year later he married, while Sophie has been single ever since. Now Thomas is back in her life because his aunt has given her house to Sophie, the house which has its own murder mystery going on.
Having read other titles by Liane, this one is definitely not my favorite. I have always liked the writing, but this one didn't hit the spot. The “big reveal“ was quite underwhelming. Easily skippable.
3/5🌟
