  • Dragondrums

    By Anne McCaffrey
    4 stars

    I took the opportunity to re-read a favourite author - Anne McCaffrey is the original queen of dragons - her stories of Pern immerse you in the world of dragons and fire lizards. Dragondrums tells the story of a teenage boy who finds his place in this world

  • Did I Ever Tell You This?

    By Sam Neill
    5 stars

    An absolute delight! It's as though you are having a conversation with Sam as he tells you about his life, family and friends. A great deal of humour. Also available as Audiobook read by Sam.

  • The Pearl Sister

    By Lucinda Riley
    4 stars

    Another delightful book. Set mainly in Australia, Riley weaves the past and present together sensitively dealing with difficult issues - adoption, sexuality, relationships, and racism.

  • Cybele's Secret

    By Juliet Marillier
    3 stars

    The heroine, Paula, is a tad annoying at the start - arrogant, demanding and whiny. But as the story progresses she grows as a person to a satisfying conclusion. Marillier has a lyrical style of writing that is easy to get lost in. An enjoyable read geared toward young adults.

  • The Book of Candlelight

    By Ellery Adams
    3 stars

    A lovely little mystery. The best part, however, was coming across so many books that I have read - and adding to my list of want-to-reads.
