Members Reviews:

Ok but too predictable

Would you try another book written by Cathy Bramley or narrated by Colleen Prendergast?

I would give them another go.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Best bits were the set up of the cookery school and ideas for new events. Worst was the constant references to dead girl and the badly written romance scenes.

What about Colleen Prendergasts performance did you like?

She was ok.

Did The Plumberry School of Comfort Food inspire you to do anything?

No

Any additional comments?

Too much re dead girl. Story line obvious. Supposed to be twists but they were obvious. Romance scenes all slushy and kissy and far too many. Yuck !

Narrator not great

I havent finished the book as I found the narrator a little wooden. Got to chapter 5. Could be a good story just cant stick with it as Ive lost interest.

Review

good story but too slow in parts it made me feel like it was dragged out.

Another fab listen

Always great story lines from Cathy Bradley. Easy to listen to. I look forward to each glimpse into the different cosy worlds, every day.

Good book

This book is very interesting. I liked it but some of Danielle Steele's books have been somewhat more interesting to me. Overall, a good story.

Loved this wonderful story

Another good book by Danielle Steel. Story keeps your interest. Many characters that interact well with each other. Suspenseful. Great ending.

Escape from Reality

Just love DS as she writes stories that can take you away from whatever is happening in your own reality .....there nothing like being transformed to another place and time and characters that hold your interest as she takes them, and you through whatever perils they may face !!!

She loved it.

This was a gift to my mother. She reads every Danielle Steel book. She prefers the hard cover to the paperback. She loved it.

A Tale Well Woven

A spellbinding story. All current obstacles in relationships were explored. Love prevails throughout. Stayed up reading this story until 3 A.M.

Divorce can be a giggle !

Carole Matthews will keep you smiling with every paragraph she writes and Julia Barrie

is right on target with every ounce of Ms.Matthews humor . Do you want to be entertained,

then buy this book.

A good listen

loved it, there was a point in the story that was quite shocking and I was taken aback by it, but altogether a good book.

Awful book.

The main character is a fool. Every decision she made left me wondering how she could do something stupider than the last.

Easy listening

Just an all round easy listen when you want something to switch off too after a busy day

Perfect holiday listen

Another great Carole Matthews. Loved it very well written and a nice narration. worth every penny.

Great.

Great book, enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this book. We know what it is like to await the results every 3 months.IT is no fun for anyone to be waiting so the book was good good in that regard. I enjoyed the way you chose to bring the families together, in a sad but happy way.

I would recommend tnis book for any 14 yearold up, still reading or listing on their talking books. Just a good book.

Five Stars

Well worth reading, well done again on another fabulous book.

An enjoyable read

4.5 stars

The Missing Pieces of Us is the ninth novel by Australian author, Fleur McDonald. Sometimes fourteen-year-old Skye Ramsey wonders if she is adopted: her mother is always on her case, and from the way her parents favour her older brother Stu (their Golden Boy) over her, itâs obvious they never really wanted her. Thank goodness for Billy Gaston! Billy is seventeen and, though some of the photos he sends on Snapchat are a bit daring, she knows he loves her.

Skyeâs mother, Lauren knows she is adopted, has always known. She had a wonderful childhood and couldnât have wished for better adoptive parents than George and Connie Jenkins. Which is why sheâs hesitant about seeking out her birth mother: she wonât risk upsetting the only parents sheâs ever known. She wishes Skye would snap out of this recent moodiness, but is lately distracted by one of her kindergarten pupils whose health and behavioural changes have her worried.

Tamara Thompson hasnât seen her parents for twenty-seven years, and is still recovering from the effects of her childhood with a critical, demanding father and a weak mother. She battles insecurity and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder daily, and wonders why Craig sticks around when her flaws are so plain to see. When her mother turns up out of the blue, she knows it canât be good.

Three main narrators to tell the bulk of this tale, while a minor narrator gives another perspective later in the story, and a diary written by an anonymous girl adds intrigue. As the bones of the story are fleshed out and the who and why become clear, McDonaldâs characters face realistic challenges, grow and develop. If the final outcome is perhaps somewhat predictable, it does not make the realisation of it any less satisfying.

McDonald easily conveys Perth and surrounds, and the residents of the lovely Gooseberry Hill will be pleased that their suburb stars in this novel. McDonald touches on issues both topical and timeless, including bullying, the pitfalls of social media and peer pressure, grief, fear of diagnosis, forced adoptions and the dilemma of seeking out birth parents, the importance of sun protection and the dangers of melanoma. An enjoyable read.

With thanks to GoodReads and Allen & Unwin for this copy to read and review.

Another great story from Anna just couldn't put it down till ...

Another great story from Anna just couldn't put it down till I had finished. Anna just has a way of holding your interest until the end, she just has amazing ability to tell great stories.

Dieselblackcat

This is a good book started out a bit slow and just at the last 15% it got really good .

Tomorrowâs Path by Anna Jacobs

Gorgeously interesting, Tomorrow's Path by Anna Jacobs is a modern read that starts out more of a romance than the author is known for. Interesting also because the protagonist is a writer. The story line captures a very believable conflict finding a balance, the need to be out and about to promote books while longing for solitude to write. Mesh this problem with a newly found desire to share space with someone from whom emotional comfort can be derived and youâre ready to be pulled into Anna Jacobâs story.

Just when the reader is settled with a plot of romantic conflicts the author injects intrigue and off we go on a rather wonderfully tame thriller of a mystery.

Tomorrowâs Path by Anna Jacobs is almost three plots wound in one; rather grand and quite thought provoking. Well worth five stars and re-reading at regular intervals.

Less Than Mediocre

This was a quick and easy read. The romance and suspense questionable. Jessica was likable but Jivan was not my type of hero. He was rather boring, whimpy, whiny, and pathetic. I did not care for the pace of this novel. There would be an exciting or crucial moment in the book and the dialogue would abruptly stop and the story would then rush ahead days months and years. Therefore, not provoking any emotions from the reader. The ending was rushed and not satisfying to me. Unless I am mistaken, Jivan our hero in this "romantic" story never says the words "I love you" to Jessica. The only reason I am giving this book two stars is I liked the descriptions of Australia!

Will Rachael meet a tall dark stranger who will become the man of her dreams???? Will Rachael return to the farm broken hearted???? Will all of Rachaels dreams come true????? Will love conquer all??? I actually listened to the Audio of this book and thoroughly enjoyed it. There were twists and turns and the story certainly did not turn out how I expected it to.

Sarah Morgan has done it again!

Sarah Morgan is one of my favourite authors, she has an ability to make you feel like you are living the story with the characters. I love the fact that characters from previous books also pop up and become intertwined into another story and you get to learn more about them. This is a perfect book to read on the beach or snuggled up on a wet summers day (I live in the north of England so often wet!)

Excellent listen

Another great book from Dilly Court a book I could not put down would recommend it

very good

I really loved it narrator was very good with her different voices, would recommend it

The Button Box by Dilly Court

An excellent 'old fashioned' story with a beginning, middle and end. How a good book should be.

It made a very nice change to go back to into our world without phones, radios, TVs, texts or mobiles. Relaxing.

A very interesting story keeping us on tenterhooks all the way through to the excellent surprising ending.

Good narration too. My first Dilly Court book as I will be back again for more.

Brilliant

Loved the book,

I always enjoy this author.

The narrator always reads beautifully. Loved it

Genres: Fiction, Chick Lit

Publisher's Summary:

Elise, a street-smart girl from the wrong side of the tracks, and Jamey, the golden boy scion of a wealthy and powerful East Coast family, make an unlikely couple. At first theirs is a tale of sexual obsession and wanting to have something you shouldn't. Jamey is both attracted by Elise and repelled by her - she is gritty, uncouth, abrupt and a million miles from his rarefied social circle. In some ways he hates her, yet he keeps coming back for more.

For Elise, the attraction to Jamey is visceral. She sees something in him beyond the rich-boy mask, and she has always loved to test the boundaries, defying anyone who tries to stop her. But as they get to know each other, what started as a challenge gradually transforms, and they get to see beyond social class and upbringing to the real person beneath. Their obsession slowly turns into something more like love, and Elise creates in Jamey the lover she wants and needs. In turn he leaves behind his Yale education and divorces his family and their wealth, and they invent a new life together that surprises them both. But Jamey's controlling family are not going to give him up easily, and Elise and Jamey will have to fight for the ending they want to their story....

Members Reviews:

lyrical genius

her writing is mesmerizing, poetic, lyrical, and just plain beautiful. bravo.

Lacking any real emotion

I had read some good reviews of this book, so based on that and the publisher's description, I was excited to read White Fur. Boy, was I disappointed.

I've read a lot of books lately where not. one. single. character. is likeable. This is another one in that category. Both Elise and Jamey, along with pretty much every minor character except maybe the dog, are selfish and self-absorbed. Nobody really seems to care about anybody else, which makes the premise that Elise and Jamey are *so in love* completely unbelievable. They have zero chemistry, nothing really in common, and they don't seem to consider the other's feelings at all.

Another problem that this book shares with a lot that have recently come out: NOTHING. HAPPENS. For 250 pages out of 300, we're just reading about Elise and Jamey going about their daily lives, with minor drama from Jamey's family that he doesn't even care about. It's not until the last 50 pages of the book that an actual plot occurs, and when it does, it's totally bizarre and ridiculous.

I liked some of Jardine Libaire's writing - she uses some interesting metaphors and has some lovely descriptions of things - but it's inconsistent, sprinkled here and there throughout prose that's otherwise lacking any real emotion or movement.

A brilliantly written book of unexpected circumstances and events

I've never been so addictive to raw characters than James "Jamey" Balthazar Hyde and Elise Dawn Perez. This is a brilliantly written book of unexpected circumstances and events that that shook me to my core. This is by no means your cookie cutter romance with butterfly and Eskimo kisses but rather a slightly dark, neurotic, and grit filled page turner. Lust, obsession, sex, and drugs brought this couple together while trust, respect, and loyalty made them last.
