I’m finding it hard to articulate The Venice Hotel. Part cli fi, part romance, part armchair travel, part crime, part foodie…it’s the whole package!!!!!! I loved every theme, every character, every thing about this novel!!!!!!! I loved that every single character at one point or another felt like she was drowning, but that it never […]
I LOVE Amanda Hampson!!!! I think her novels just get better and better!! And I’ve LOVED every single one (although Sixty Summers was pretty sad, and I still think about hoe the cover did NOT match the story…) but the Cryptic Clue is my favourite!! I LOVE seeing Sydney in the mid 60s, I love
Masterpiece by name Masterpiece in actuality. I loved the latest Belinda Alexandra novel, thank you SO much Harper Collins for letting me read an early copy!!!! It is a novel with multiple timelines and I loved every single one of them. It is a book concerned with art forgeries and resistance fighters in WW2 Paris,

We’ve just celebrated Father’s Day in our household so I’ve gone with that as my theme this month, and goodness are there some wonderful

I could not stop thinking about this. There SO is a reason Pomare is called the king of twist!! It’s true, gosh I was never sure what I thought! I absolutely loved seeing New Zealand featured, I loved the podcast angle, the wrongful imprisonment…everything about it! This was such a page turner and I do
What a fun rom com of a novel for a rom com loving reader!!! Just gave me all the feels!! So romantic!!! So satisfying!! The tropes, the meet cute, the guinea pig…ahhh Charlie was so arrogant! Emma was so full of self sacrifice! The line dancing was so fun! Hard recommend! So fun!!!!
This one frustrated me, but I’m prepared to admit it might be me… I don’t have kids, my mum doesn’t need me, I’m not even married. But I don’t normally have to identify with the main character? So much can’t believe my baby is an adult, so much menopausal rage (I so hope I can’t
I felt SO bloody lucky to read this ARC, I could not put this down! Small town Australian missing teenager crime with all the feels. I loved all the 1999 nostalgia and all the good man feels of the now storyline. I loved the exploration of the intense 16 year old friendships; the all encompassing
