The Freudian Slip
What a perfect summer read! Desi, Bea and Stella are engaging and intriguing characters, who jump off the page and pull you into their world of Sydney in the 1960’s. (Read review)
Midwinter Sacrifice
‘The Swedish author Mons Kallentoft has created a chilling police procedural with a whole lot of fierceness; cold and evil. (Read review)
A Single Shot
Is unputdownable a real word? I’m going to use it anyway to describe Single Shot by Matthew F. Jones. Tense, torrid and murky this novel will certainly get your heart racing and provide your throat with a nice lump to go with the chill on your back. (Read review)
The Devotion Of Suspect X
I’m hungry for foreign crime these days and was really keen to give The Devotion of Suspect X a try. (Read review)
A Discovery of Witches
I could go on and on about this book and all the facets that make it a great read... (Read review)
Hell's Bells
John Connolly again hits the nail on the head in Hell’s Bells. (Read review)
Blossoms and Shadows
I found this utterly fascinating, especially after reading David Mitchell’s latest novel regarding 18th century Japan and her limited trade with the Dutch through the island Dejima, I was chuffed when the island was mentioned in this novel as well. (Read review)
Past the Shallows
I read Past the Shallows over last weekend and have been struggling with what to write about it since. (Read review)
Past the Shallows
Tim Winton is the only other author that can leave me so completely broken hearted yet so grateful at the end of a novel. (Read review)
The Windup Girl
Set in a dystopian future that could very well be our own, The Windup Girl is a mesmerising tale of a time when calories are currency and evil corporations will do anything to exploit them. (Read review)

What Makes Us Tick?
I would highly recommend this book to anyone that has a desire to find out what drives them to get out of bed every morning. (Read review)
The Summer Without Men
Beautifully written, this a novel so many women will relate to in the “war of the sexes” and women’s friendships. It will stay in your thoughts long after the last page has been turned. (Read review)
The Last Dragonslayer
Jasper has long been one of my favourite storytellers. His first effort at more ‘junior’ fiction is no less a brilliant story. (Read review)
Delirium
Lauren Oliver has once again shown why she is the NBT (next big thing) in YAD fiction. (Read review)
The Summer Without Men
Mia is a women who embarks on an enforced journey of transformation and self-discovery when her husband requests a ‘pause’ from their 30 year marriage, seemingly out of nowhere. (Read review)
The Summer Without Men
A wonderful and insightful story. I almost read the book twice with the amount of re-reading of certain sentences. She is a very wise, analytical and deep woman. It is almost non-fiction disguised as fiction to get her points across.

The Summer Without Men
This is an intricate tale of the lows and highs of the female experience. (Read review)
The Clan of the Cave Bear
Wow, The Clan of the Cave Bear is a classic for a very good reason. It’s very, very good. For years, I thought that The Clan of the Cave Bear wasn’t for me, but by the fifth page I was struggling to remember why I hadn’t read it years ago… (Read review)
Delirium
I thoroughly enjoyed this original take on a love story. It was a compelling read that carries you through the high-tension drama surrounding an illicit romance, and the exciting finish has certainly left me keenly waiting for the next title.
