Disquiet tells nothing directly yet reveals a world of pain in the simple descriptions of a very macabre story. It’s a story I could have lived without, yet once I started this book, I couldn’t put it down. I needed the conclusion, the funeral to take place so I could feel it was done with. The […]

He left the book behind when he left for Airlie Beach. I started reading it when I was on long service leave, I […]

I bought this book a few years ago when I was feeling a lack of trust in my previous relationship. When I was bringing my books inside a few days ago I realised I never read it. It has been a really great guide to me for an interesting internal journey I’ve had over the […]

Yes, I’ve finally finished the ‘Twilight’ series. If it weren’t for the enthusiasm of the young people I surround myself with, I don’t think I would have got to that happily ever after ending, it was. I really didn’t see how it was all going to turn out. I’m not going to spoil it and […]

She brings characters to life for me, and people that I enjoy being with. She writes about people who experience […]

One great thing about being without the Internet was that I got to read more. I am nearly finished the ‘Twilight’ series.
‘Eclipse’ like the previous two books was very long and in parts seemed to drag for me. I know many of the young people I teach think these books are just wonderful, but I […]

I finished the second in the Twilight series this week and have began ‘Eclipse’. Everyone is reading these books! Even my chiropractor tonight when she saw what I was reading admitted that she was staying up late to read just one more chapter… as you do!
I liked ‘New Moon’. My favourite part was when the […]

I read ‘Emil and Karl’ in a day. I forgot to bring a book to one of my reading classes in the library and picked it up and couldn’t put it down… all day! When I checked it out the librarian said she’d found it captivating also and had read it in a day. In […]
