Is there a book club associated with this sight
Click on the link that is referred to above Denise….
“our first ever live and interactive book club on Wednesday 27th April at 8pm!”
Thanks for the list.
All the light we cannot see is the best book I’ve read in ages!
I just wanted to know if Karen was my cousin Karen.
Girl on the train was so overrated. I do not understand the fascination. The Dressmaker was awesome! When is the next book club? We have our own but would love to check out yours. ????
I found The Dressmaker started off pretty good, then ended very strange….
yes me too was left a little flat
So many great books in this list and some new ones in there for me that I will have to pick up in the coming weeks. Thank you for posting these up.
The best book I read so far this year has been The Midnight Shrink from Edward Dreyfus (www.dreyfusbooks.net).
A fantastic psychological thriller/crime fiction from an author with years of experience as a practicing psychologist.
He brings a lot of themes from his work into the writing and it really adds a level of authenticity that makes his novels that much more enjoyable. A must-read for fans of the genre.
Thanks for this recommendation Gary. I love psychological thrillers, so will definitely read this one!
Love receiving your updates. Would love to hear about more less mainstream authors/new authors. Many of the ones you mention do greet us at the entrance to the bookshop.
love you all to have a read of The Gulf by Anna Spargo-Ryan a local Melbourne writer.
Such a large number of awesome books in this rundown and some new ones in there for me that I should get in the coming weeks. Much obliged to you for posting these up.
The best book I read so far this year has been The Midnight Shrink from Edward Dreyfus (www.dreyfusbooks.net).
A phenomenal spine chiller/wrongdoing fiction from a creator with years of experience as a rehearsing clinician.
He brings a considerable measure of topics from his work into the composition and it truly includes a level of credibility that makes his books substantially more charming. An absolute necessity read for devotees of the class
“The Family Next Door” (Sally Hepworth) is a masterpiece. I couldn’t put it down. A genuine page-turner in the style of Paula Hawkins or Liane Moriarty.
You have shed a ray of suhnisne into the forum. Thanks!
Do you have a review on Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie?
Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie is wonderful. Don’t miss it!
Finally finished reading The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith (known normally as JK Rowling, though no flying cars or broomsticks to be found).
Unlike her previous two books which I thoroughly enjoyed, I liked the basis of the plot and the ideas on which the storyline ran, but felt there were too many people and identities to concentrate fully. On the whole, a gripping storyline and one that I will still recommend. Bizarre, gruesome, ruthless and yet hard to put down. A novel one surely wants to find out “Who Dunnit”
Have just read “The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton
Also the “The Shifting Fog” same author
Loved both books, has anyone else read her books?
I have also read The forgotten garden and The Lakehouse. Both good books by Kate Morton
Just googled josh Grisham as he is listed in the top ten for The Reckoning. I thought he might have been related to John Grisham.On google the book is written by John Grisham. Maybe you are seeing how observant your readers are?
Just finished The Lost Man by Jane Harper, and what a page turner. An absolute gripping novel right up to and including the last page, that I certainly never saw the whodunnit coming. Had me reading to the wee small hours of the morning. Couldn’t put the book down – just so enthralling that I could almost feel as if I was one of the characters.
Jane just seems to get better with each novel. Can’t wait to see how she tops this latest one.
I find the list of books you send me are very helpful to me in my selection.
Just finished The Nowhere Child by Christian White. Gripping story from cover to cover. About a girl like you and me, going about her life in Australia,when her life is turn upside down in America by family and religion. A dark and griping psychological thriller. A must read.
Just finished Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine. The book is sad, happy, uplifting and funny. The characters and scenes are so visual. Couldn’t put the book down.
I loved Eleanor Oliphant.I couldn’t put the book down either. Such a great read.
Cant for the life of me understand why James Patterson and Di Morrissey hit the best seller lists – there are so many good writers out there!

I’ve just finished reading The
Mirror and the Light. Even though I knew Cromwell’s fate I was sad when it happened. I enjoyed it but found it took time to read it as I was googling and looking at maps etc. Another masterpiece.
Fair Warning is very good! I look forward to another Harry Bosch very soon.

Always waiting for a new Robotham book, really enjoyed this. Never read Delia Owens books before but enjoyed this one.
I loved Where the Crawdads sing.
Where the Crawdads Sing is one of the best debuts I have read!! Can’t wait to read When She was Good, currently reading The Wife And The Widow.
I’m excited to read some of these thankyou for suggesting them.
Are you sure Trent Nathan’s NEW title should bi in ,?
I thoroughly enjoy reading through the list of books you recommend to buy.
I have enjoyed all the books I have read so far. I read one book a week.
Would love to read more but don’t have the time
The only one of this list that I’ve read is The Sentinel by Lee and Andrew Child. I think it is quite different to the previous Jack Reacher novels, but I was hooked from the start and liked how so many loose ends were tied off in the last few pages.

Have read 5 of these and 3 are on my TBR list
Where the crawdads sing.. Brilliant book.
Just finished ‘The Survivors’ and must say I was disappointed with it after reading ‘The Dry’. It had its moments and think it was written too quickly and has no depth and I don’t think that I would recommend it!
I’m now reading Peter Robinson’s new book
‘Not Dark Yet’ and can’t put it down!
I can no longer read, and am now dependent on audiobooks, so, it would be most helpful if you could include more info on which books are available in this format.
Thankyou
Thelma.
So many good books. I’m buying them faster than I can read them Getting a great library together
Haven’t read # 1:2:5 9 & 10
I am now on a mission. Thank you
Where the crowded sing is an amazing book. Absolutely loved it. The ending was so surprising!
