Friday Update: The Reading Queue (22nd May)

This update hasn't been happening recently - I've been dealing with a tsunami of elderly animal health challenges which have just chewed up every available waking hour, to say nothing of creating a severe dose of frazzled brain syndrome.  #JustFinished Honey by Imani Thompson

Thursday Temptations

This time the temptations are made up of soon to be released, quite a way off release, and things I recently lucked upon.

Friday Update: The Reading Queue (1st May)

Still juggling, still not getting enough books read. Not the worst problem, I've got, but apologies, as always to the authors and publishers wondering why I'm always so far behind! #JustFinished I think I'm reading too many books at once - so nothing in the just finished pile in the last week but quite a few in the currently reading which are nearly there.

Still juggling, still not getting enough books read. What a "dreadful" problem to have. #JustFinished The Bookshop Detectives: Tea & Cake & Death by Gareth Ward and Louise Ward (2026 Ngaio's)

Friday Update: The Reading Queue (17th April)

The days are definitely shortening now which means the Spring Classics bike racing is in full swing, which means no sleep and a freaked out dog from all the ooing and jumping every time a rider gets into some risky trouble. #JustFinished Lucky Thing by Tom Baragwanath (2026 Ngaio's)

Friday Update: The Reading Queue (10th April)

This update is bought to you in the aftermath of an Easter break where not enough reading got done. To be honest, not a lot of anything much got done, I started wading through a recently deceased relative's boxes of photos and disappeared down some very nostalgic byways.

AustCrime Update: end of March - Part 1

February / March update in case anybody else does the "Easter is for planning what to read next (as well as catching up on the things you still haven't read)" thing.  There's some tantalising new releases around at the moment, hopefully something for every sort of reader.  Another long list of releases so a two part newsletter again. Click here for the Other Places listing.

Black Velvet and Vengeance, Deborah Challinor

The third (and it seems possibly the final) novel in the story of Tatiana Crowe, a female undertaker in 1870s Sydney, sees the return of a character from an earlier novel who has had quite the change in personality (interestingly - explained in the author's notes at the end of the novel).
