Some more great reads found their way to my mail box this week. Some great titles here – any that you fancy?
This will be my first Liane Moriarty – I am looking forward to that as I have heard so many good things about this author. Rebellious Daughters has also got my attention…Sabine Durrant is a favourite author… Pierre Lemaitre – a standalone from him is exciting news, Position Doubtful -Kim Mahood – gets a 5 star review from my husband – which means it must be good, (as did A Beautiful Young Wife), I liked the last Michel Bussi I read, and Jane Joago – The Wrong Hand ..looks like some difficult subject matter here but could be interesting: “We all make mistakes. Moments that change us and the path we are on irrevocably. For Rachel Allen it was the moment that she let her son’s hand slip from hers. For Danny Simpson and Graham Harris it was the moment one of them took it. Seven years ago Danny and Graham were just children themselves, angry, marginalized and unguided. That was, until they committed a crime so..”
Add to that a few eBooks and about 4 direct requests this week from authors to read and review their books…where to start???
I want to read Liane Moriarty too, as I’ve heard such good things about her. I wasn’t terribly impressed with Black Water Lilies, although it started well (and the setting is great). And I’ve got Lie with Me on my TBR pile as well!
Fancy that – it isnt often I have the books in common with anyone outside of Australia! 🙂
Oh I’m hoping I’ve got Truly Madly Guilty and the new Sabine Durrant!
I am sure you will have Deb – we seem to receive from most of the same publishers.
What a great haul you have Carol, I can’t believe you haven’t read Liane yet, although I know it is generally not your preferred genre 😊 I have the audio book on hold at work for her latest.
How would you classify it Janine? I know nothing about the book not even read the synopsis but expect a really good read whatever the genre is🙃
Oh, you’ve got some lovely choices there, Carol! I want to read that Moriarty as well, so I would probably start there. But wherever you start, you’ll likely have a good reading experience.
Margot I just picked up the short stories Rebellious Daughters but the Moriarty is next or maybe at the same time – I can dip in and out of short stories not so novels
Great haul there 🙂
What are you currently reading Tracey!
I’ve read one Liane Moriarty’s books and quite enjoyed it – they’ve very comfortable, relatable urban settings with a bit of intrigue thrown in. An easy but interesting read.
I am looking forward to it. Have started reading the collection of short stories/memoirs – Rebellious Daughters – I think you might enjoy this one .
These all look terrific. It’s so much fun to have a new pile of books to wade through. 😊
Hi Anne I have read a couple of these fan highly recommend Rebellious Daughters, have started. Blood Wedding- he knows how to shock! And started another new one The Summer that Melted Everything- such beautiful writing!
Many people really enjoy Lemaitre’s books. I’m a bit hesitant, they might be too dark & graphic for me. Summer thst melted is such a beautiful title…..so poetic…..enjoy your haul…..looking forward to the reviews!
His writing can be graphically violent
