  8. I put it in the form, but pasting my comment here too:

    I'll be reading: No Place Like Home (Barbara O'Neal), Small Victories (Ann Lammott), and - an Australia Day tradition - the part of A Town Like Alice (Nevile Shute) set in WW2. Though if I finish NPLH tomorrow, there'll be We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves (Karen Fowler) in there too. Unless, of course, something from my TBR pile ambushes me first! I am a polybibliovore!

  9. I did fill in a form, so not sure if I'm supposed to post here as well. Currently it's a toss up between The House at the Bottom of the Hill by Jennie Jones, Secrets of Whitewater Creek by Sarah Barrie or Avery by Charlotte McConaghy - will see how the mood takes me after finishing the brilliant one I'm reading now by Shannon Curtis, Runaway Lies. Great giveaway Tracey. Thank you.

  13. I am currently reading Theodore Thomson Flynn, Not Just Errol's Father by Tony and Vicki Harrison.

    Agreed, it's a bit of an unusual read but I am finding it fascinating. Why am I reading it ?

    Easy. When I was very young I used to really enjoy pirate movies and of course the only good pirate movies in those days starred an Australian actor by the name of Errol Flynn. Once I watched Robin Hood I was a fan for life , and have since read a lot of biographies- some fun, mostly unpleasant - about the actor.

    At the library earlier in the week in search of new Australian Authors for another Challenge I stumbled across this book, written by an academic whose only previous writings were Fisheries related.

    It's been a great find, not only about the Flynn family, but about Sydney and Tasmania in the 1920s onwards, about our mammals and sea life ( Flynn Snr was a marine biologist and Mammal expert) and is a genuinely interesting read

  14. Hope you enjoy The Girl on the Train Teddyree, I loved it. Thanks for your entry Cobwebcottage, and May, that's a serious interest in Errol Flynn you have there. That's the joy of reading and books though, there's so much to explore! Good luck to you all.
