What Are You Currently Reading? (doesn't have to be an Aussie book) - Part 2
A 1/3rd of the way through
by Erin Hunter. The 3rd book in the Warrior cat series. I just can't get enough of these lovable cats!

"Erin Hunter is the pseudonym of five people" I've heard of two people collaborating to write a book together but FIVE people!!! How do they ever manage to agree on something?

That's good to hear, Sharon. I see some of our book choices are matching/have matched these days, nice to find a kindred spirit.
Enjoy Phrynne, Jools And Marianne! They all look like great reads :)

Mine certainly was:) I was up until midnight finishing it.

It's hard though when the book is so good you just have to keep reading until the end!
Currently reading A Little Life, which is waaaay out of my reading comfort zone. (My book club made me do it!)

Yes, I can see that already, Julie! I'm going to make sure my book club picks something light and happy next!!
I just started
(still on The Road Less Travelled as well) THs was a bit hard for me to get into, probably because I'd just finished
- such totally different books - but am now enjoying it.
I'm currently reading Jasper Jones, fantastic book so far!
Mod
Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey is a fabulous book Tiarnie! Glad you're enjoying it:)
Marina, that certainly is a tough read but well worth it in the end. Probably one of the two most haunting books I have ever read.

A fantastic read from Nunn in my opinion Carolyn:)

Carolyn wrote: "I'm enjoying Spirits of the Ghan by Judy Nunn."I loved it - I have one of her other books, Territory, earmarked for an upcoming challenge
Finished Passenger and rated it 2*, I just couldn't get into it. Now halfway through Acid Row and loving it! There's a sense of urgency right from the beginning that draws you in and intensifies as you delve further into each characters' motivations. I'll rate it when I'm finished
Last night I started The Secret River by Kate Grenville (paperback kindly given to me by Marianne in our last bookswap, thank you Marianne!) and this morning I started Out of the Ice by Ann Turner on my kindle. It's a mystery set in Antarctica - very good so far :)
Last night I started Is That You Ruthie? by Ruth Hegarty for one of my challenges,And also yesterday started listening to Playing Beatie Bow by Ruth Park...both have started off really well :)
Last night, I finished Introductions. You can find my review here: /topic/show/...(Bottom one, folks)

Absolutely loved Out of the Ice Carolyn! Putting my review up mid next week :)
Mod

You know, Keira, if you post your reviews like that we can't "like" them. Just sayin'

I agree Out of the Ice was a real page turner. My review has already gone up, I'll put it in the reviews link
Carolyn wrote: "Brenda wrote: "Carolyn wrote: "Last night I started The Secret River by Kate Grenville (paperback kindly given to me by Marianne in our last bookswap, thank you Marian..."This is also available as an ebook (epub version) from some libraries. It is available in WA. I have had to place a request for it tho. Also placed a hold on Searching For The Secret River, the book she wrote about writing the book. Really looking forward to that as an historian and writer myself. Will get to check out your review first tho Carolyn.
Mod
Another fantastic book Phrynne!
Mod
I'm just about to start A Tattooed Heart by Deborah Challinor as my 5th and final read for the May challenge....have been soooo looking forward to this! ;))
Mod
Enjoy Jools! The extremely sad part is - it's the end of the series :(
Mod
I'll be interested in your thoughts Phrynne:)

Sarah Dunant is one of my favourite writers. I've read all her books set in Italy, and especially loved Sacred Hearts
