Storytime 2023

Books read to Jan 1 - Feb 5

The hot summer weather lends itself to lazy days and time to read.

Here's a selection I have enjoyed this year.

If you enjoy stories set in Australia I seem to have read quite a few of these in the last month.

• The Orphans by Fiona McIntosh  - Port Adelaide, Farina, shearers, undertakers and morticians, struggle for female recognition
• Exiles by Jane Harper - South Australian wine country, crime fiction, country towns
• Outback by Patricia Wolf - Crime, Tourism, Drugs, detectives
• Mackenzie Crossing by Kaye Dobbie - 2 eras in the Australian alps, 1939 Black Friday bushfires, 1997 search for lost family details and romance

• Keeping up appearances by Tricia Stringer - SA country life, small town setting, women and their interactions and relationships
