See You in September

By Charity Norman

4 stars

This is the third Charity Norman novel I've read and I have to say I am a fan. This one is about finding out who you really are, or well, who you think you might be (with your family coming to the rescue), after Cassy finds herself swept up in a cult. Easy reading, page turner!
Prisoners of Geography

By Tim Marshall

3 stars

A book about how geography has shaped the boundaries of our nations and continents. I really wanted to love this book, as I love geography, politics and history. However, it was insanely dry. It took 2 months to get through. Was there anything mind-blowing I didn't already know? Not really.
The Casual Vacancy

By JK Rowling

3 stars

I was given this 10 years ago, and thought I better give it a read. Got 137 pages in before realising I'd already read it, but it wasn't worth continuing again...
The Axeman's Carnival

By Catherine Chidgey

3 stars

Interesting story of rural nz, modern media and relationships, though I had to get used to the narrative (weirdly, not my first talking animal novel this year). Not my fav, but worth a read!
The Giver

By Lois Lowry

4 stars

Going to analyse this with my Year 9s next year so thought I'd better read it again (it's been a good 15 years). Great story, lots to unpack for younger readers.
Here One Moment

By Liane Moriarty

4 stars

Enjoyable and quick page turner. On a flight from Hobart to Sydney we meet a woman who predicts other passengers "age of death, cause of death". We follow these passengers after they leave the flight and find out whether fate can be fought.
Air

By John Boyne

5 stars

The final Elementals book. This brings the three storylines back together, and gives us some closure for the characters. Such a good (but dark) series.
The School for Wicked Witches

By Will Taylor

4 stars

Great children's novel set in the world of Oz. My eight year old thoroughly enjoyed this being read to her, and as well as the obvious connections to the Frank Baum series, there's a lot of cross overs with other children's fantasy witchcraft and wizardry schools.
Fire

By John Boyne

5 stars

Great series. One to go.
Earth

By John Boyne

5 stars

Just like Water, this was a gripping read. Boyne is able to write from such a diverse range of POVs. Enjoying this series a lot.
Water

By John Boyne

5 stars

Not what I expected. Drawn in almost immediately. Such an easy read, but heavy content!
