Just finished listening to this audio book. Excellent story, though I did feel frustrated at times with the choices of the main character. Without any real plans, she abducts a child who is being abused. I look forward to reading more by this author.

I stayed up so late last night to finish this book, here‘s my wake up coffee this morning! Thanks for the suggestion @ReadingDownUnder It is amazing that this love story occurred amongst the horror. So many brave souls who would do anything to survive.

BookwormDownUnder It was so good! Glad you liked it too. 6y

Excellent read. I loved this book and it was totally unexpected from Diane Chamberlain. I‘ve read a number of her books, this is the first one that pushes reality. Or could it be possible? This book reminded me of The Time Traveler‘s Wife.

Another good read from Diane Chamberlain. Easy read. I like the little bit of mystery in Diane Chamberlain books, good for testing out my predictions.

The Ones You Trust | Caroline Overington

Excellent book, kept me hooked until the end. I have loved all of Overington‘s books, except The Lucky One - it was just too weird.
The Ones You Trust is set in Sydney. The story of a little girl, daughter of a morning TV show star who is kidnapped from daycare. The question is who did it and why?

Sanctuary | Judy Nunn

This book was a gift and I haven‘t read any other Judy Nunn novels. I enjoyed this story and would recommend it to others. It‘s a fictional recount of the arrival of a group of refugees at the Abrolhos Islands off the coast of Western Australia near Geraldton. It accurately depicts many of the places around Geraldton and Perth. The plight of refugees arriving in Australia was well represented. I think I‘ll read more Judy Nunn in the future.

BookwormDownUnder I have that one! Been meaning to read it. She wrote one about the Pilbara or Darwin that I loved. Can‘t remember which. She‘s quite good. 6y
TheLorax Funny, I was going to ask you if you wanted it. 6y

If you enjoyed Marie Kondo‘s books, you will love this book. Minimalist living in Japan.

I listened to this book (Bolinda Audio). Enjoyable story that gives you a good insight into life for a poor orphan in London in the late 1700‘s who ends up on a ship of convicts being sent to Australia. It does make me thankful for my life. I can‘t help but wonder how did people survive these conditions?

I thoroughly recommend this book. It is the engaging story of a young Jewish girl, Miri, and her family when the Germans invade Warsaw, Poland in the early 1940‘s during World War ll. This book is in the teen read section of the library.

This quote is from “The Lost Art of Good Conversation” by Sakyong Mipham. I‘m halfway through the book and really enjoying reading his insights into communication in modern society. Each chapter ends with a self reflection question. I am going to try to use some of the reflection ideas in this book in my classroom.

This book is hilarious! I‘ve been listening to the audio book read by Kitty. I think it‘s probably funnier to listen rather than read it yourself. If you were made to play the recorder in primary school, this is the book for you!
