Welcome to Orphancorp
Welcome To Orphancorp by Marlee Jane Ward My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is an extraordinary novella. Set in a not-too-distant future, the story is visceral, frightening, and all too realistic.Mirii is a survivor, a young woman on the edge of adulthood and ‘freedom’. But how free are you, really, when your whole life […]
Take Three Girls
Take Three Girls by Cath Crowley My rating: 4 of 5 stars St. Hilda’s Grammar School. Hotbed of teenage girl angst. Ady, Clem and Kate have nothing in common other than the school they attend. At first it’s hard to distinguish the individual voices of the characters. The tone and language used for each girl […]
Obernewtyn
Obernewtyn by Isobelle Carmody My rating: 4 of 5 stars Have I said before how much I love audio books? They are the best way to read and do something else! So, with the long wait between titles, I’ve not wanted to get into The Red Queen, (Obernewtyn #7), because I’ve forgotten so much of […]

Rivertime
Rivertime by Trace Balla My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is a great book. I like it a lot, as it reminds me of my childhood, which we spent adventuring to the hills around Dargo, an island in the middle of Bass Strait, camping at Port Campbell, Cape Patterson, Cumberland River and Saltwater, and […]
The Intern
The Intern by Gabrielle Tozer My rating: 4 of 5 stars Goddamn, Josie Browning is gorgeous. Her stream-of-consciousness ‘new adult’ ranting is both funny and touching. She’s lost in the adult world, but forging ahead nonetheless. New job interning for the formidable Rae Swanson at Sash, new life living between home and her cousin’s house, […]
