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.
Read some more of SCARAMOUCHE with Wesley nearby. It‘s currently my secondary book, but I think it‘ll graduate to primary when I‘ve got a little gap. It‘s fun so far. I do wish my free copy had an interesting cover, though.
pickDevoured this one today in one sitting because I did not want to put it down!

Started this today and I just have to say, Krueger always comes with the hook—immediately—that makes the book impossible to put down. Anyway, yeah, it‘s off to a great start.
Went to pick up my library holds, that of course came in all at once. July‘s Book Page was available- featuring “Sleuths of Every Sort”. What fun I had perusing its pages! 🕵🏻♀️🔎📝
pick3.5 Stars • Next of Kin by John Boyne (2006) is a twisty thriller set in 1936 London. Owen Montignac, a broke aristocrat, gets snubbed in his uncle‘s will, leaving everything to his cousin Stella. Facing a huge debt to a shady casino boss, Owen schemes to steal art, blackmail, and even kill to get what he thinks is his. He ropes in Gareth, the lazy son of a judge, and things spiral into a messy web of lies and murder. ⬇️
pickNot bad short novel of a picaresque black man involved with an illegal slave ship who take a mystical tribe captive. Reminds me somewhat of Ring Shout. Some magic realism and a gruesome survival story.

Taylor Jenkins Reid is becoming a favorite for me. I loved this story. ❤️ Also, I have a comment/question for anyone who has read this. I‘ll put it in the comments section with a spoiler alert.
