The Taking of Annie Thorne by C J Tudor, 2019. Not a likeable character in the book. Engaging plot, but that’s about it. Dark and dreary mystery. Glad it’s over.

Great novel by Australian writer, Trent Dalton, Boy Swallows Universe, 2019. Characters you love, story told from the heart. Really good book. Fallible people dealing with life in Brisbane as best they can. Told from the main character’s perspective, Eli Bell, age 12 to start with.
