Aussie Readers discussion

I have set my goal at a modest 45 and I will see how I go. Haven't been doing a whole bunch of reading lately, coz I've been very busy. Anyway, I finished one.

1.
This novel follows on from the first, . It's a fairly fun read, though I would've liked to have seen less frivolity and more in depth exploration of Oakley's feelings about what has been happening and too little of the book covered the trial. It is a good concept, but a bit of a deeper story would have made it better.

Just finished this 5 mins ago.
2.

You have two challenges running Kiera! Well done:)

This challenge with link in with my other one. :)

This was such a great read. The premise of the story- lots of different alternate timelines that have to be brought back together to form the correct one- is pure genius and executed very well indeed. It was a very hard book to put down.

4. I finished . I gave it two stars, mainly because it's just typical, annoying romance trash where the woman is "fiesty" but goes to jello as soon as the guy even just looks at her, implying that she has no independent mind of her own and said man who is her 'love interest' is the typical condescending mysoginist that is rife in these sorts of books. Even her brothers are written that way. Seriously, let the girl get a word in edgeways, author! I much prefer Nicholas Sparkes or Jane Austen type romance, that's for sure.

5. . 5 stars. I absolutely LOVE this Torchwood story and I especially love that Martha is back!

6. wow, this ended with a bang!!! 4 stars! I loved it!!!

I had no idea Torchwood went on as radio plays. I must check them out :) Thanks Kiera!

Oh, that's no problem Leonie. You can get them on iTunes.

Excellent!

This was a really fun novel and a welcome change to the regular romance fare. A fun espionage story set in the Regency period with wonderfully in depth characters. I look forward to the next one!

8.
This is a good Torchwood story about a girl who falls through the Rift.

9. I finished after lord knows how long. It's basically just a guide to the first couple of series, but it is done in an interesting way: like dossier. Pretty cool content! 3 *

10. So I finally read a book! I am slowly getting back to my regular scheduled programming after the upset in my life over the last couple of weeks. I just read . 4 *. It is such a beautiful book with beautiful photographs. Take me to Ireland now!

11. I finished and oh my gosh, I LOVED it! It's such a beautiful story. I gave it 5 stars.

12. I listened to the other night. The Torchwood team travel to Torchwood India. It's so much fun! 4 *.

That's good for you Kiera because there are 5 more books available in that "Wishes" series.

I am really looking forward to them!

13. I completed . It was quite a fun read, but the random 'time jumps' as I like to call them were always very sudden and sometimes didn't flow well. I gave it 3 stars.

It sounds like an interesting story Kiera.

It has certainly given me a better appreciation of WWII and how my generation is often too glib about the whole thing.

14. I just finished . It was not as good as other Stargate novels, but still quite fun. I gave it 3 stars.

15. Listened to . Fun as always! I gave it 4 *. Jack is out of commission this time around, so it's up to Gwen and Ianto to figure out what's going on with everyone's telephones. Can't say any more. SPOILERS! ;)

16. . 3 stars because it was so difficult. Lol.

17. . I love anything Torchwood, but this wasn't as engaging as the previous audio stories. I gave it 3 stars.

18. . I love this book so much. Classical and ancient art is- to me- by far the most beautiful. 4 stars.

So I just finished . OH MY GOD! I HATE YOU, TEAGUE! And why Jared? Just why?? Lol, safe to say I bloody loved the third instalment of the Unfortunate Fairytale series and can't wait to read the next one! 5 resounding stars!

20. . I have this 5 stars. It is such an informative book with stunning photography right the way through.

Oops I missed some!

21. . This one was really fun and spooky! 5 stars.

22. this one brought me to tears! 5 stars.

23. . I love this book. I reference it often to teach my dogs new things. This is my first time reading it more thoroughly. 4 stars.

24. I gave this one 4 stars. It was a fun read, but I think the hype ruined the expectations of the novel. It is nowhere near as scandalous as it is made out to be. As I said, a bit of fun, though.

25. I finished 2 stars. Not as much a fan now. But that's good, right? I have matured! Lol.

26. I read my book about chimpanzee behaviour a month or so back. I forgot to add it! I gave it 3 stars.

27. I gave it 4 stars. There was only 1 reason I didn't give it 5. You can see that reason here:

Be warned that it does contain a rather large spoiler.

28. 5 stars. It was just so exciting and really gripping.

Good you're enjoying the series Kiera:)

29. Read the short story . 3 Stars. No conflict at all to make the story interesting, just fluff.

30. . I gave this 5 stars. Absolutely brilliant!

31. . 5 stars. I'm surprised to give this 5 stars. I always thought "erotica" was really trashy (cue Fifty Shades. Bleck!). But this wasn't like that at all. It's characters were believable and had depth to them. Brian is very sweet and Myrna is realistically flawed. Great read!

32. . 3 stars. Fun. Not as good as some of the other classic Children's tales, though. Unlike May Gibbs, it appears that Ms. Wall didn't seem to bother to learn anything about Autralian animals before writing this. I know it's just a kids story, but so is Snugglepot and Cuddlepie. I just don't think it's on the same calibre as that.

33. . 4 stars. Really fun.

34. . 3 stars. This was a light, fun read and I laughed out loud a few times. It stayed true to the TV series and its characters.

35. . 5 heartbreaking stars.

36. . I gave this three stars. Link to my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

37. . 4 stars. This was the best in the series! I would definitely love to see another book in this series from Jasper's point of view. He is definitely the most interesting character out of them all. And his relationship with Holly is really sweet.

38. . I gave this five stars. Another beautiful story from this author!

39. . I gave this 3 stars. Here's the link to my review:
