I don't think I stopped smiling or giggling this whole conversation; which is ridiculous because this is such a thrilling thriller..George and Richie are back and there is a dead girl on the road..I once again found myself wishing George had packed more warm clothes but that didn't seem to have prevented me from laughing the whole way through this conversation. I just love Laura McCluskey, I couldn't have felt luckier to be able to chat with her again and am already looking forward to the next...

This was such a great chat if I do say so myself! I really loved the opportunity and because we recorded it a little while ago it was brand new to my editing ears this week and my questions didn't seem to grate like they do (honestly it's like listening to your voicemail message...) loved Fiona Hardy and adore Teddy and Alice!  Old Games is out today, so you probably haven't read it yet, but fear not this is a spoiler free conversation ( I think!!)  And to join our ReadA Book community head on over to www.readabook.com.au.

I love a cosy crime, I love historical fiction and I love love love a cosy historical crime involving real life people. I had been hoping to chat with Lainie Anderson since reading The Death of Dora Black and absolutely was over excited when I did get to speak to her in December. I couldn't even try to disguise how over excited I was, I was completely fangirling... If you haven't read The Petticoat Police Mysteries you are so lucky, there are 2 to dive right into, they feature Australia's first policewoman in the British Empire employed on the same salary and with the same powers of arrest as men Kate Cocks and are so well done! Australian society during WW1 but so much more.. And to join our ReadA Book community head on over to www.readabook.com.au.

 I loved this novel;  I love me a romance and I love love love when a romance can give me the feels as well as give me lots to think about... Home to the Heart Country was that for me. I adored my time in these pages Having the opportunity to chat with Libby Iriks about her journey to publication and the love she has for these characters was just so special. Unfortunately it is a conversation that has been patiently waiting for me to edit and I am sorry for that, but because I had really forgotten lots of it I have a whole new appreciation for it, it was such an interesting one to edit hahaha. Libby shares so much of herself with us in this novel and to find out it took a decade from her head to my hands, I wasn't surprised; it's so special!  And to join our ReadA Book community head on over to www.readabook.com.au.

Loved this chat I got to have with Aaron Tait, I really can see that this memoir could be described as Eat, Pray Love..but with guns.

Goodness I could not tear myself away from this chat, poor Jessica had made time in-between editing her next book and I got to interrupt that to talk all this The Farm related (although we were very careful not to talk spoilers) and her work ethic and of course segued into dogs and Christmas movies..  And to join our ReadA Book community head on over to www.readabook.com.au.

I adore Joanna Nell novels, don't you? The older characters having adventures, living their best lives..crashing funerals and rating carrot cake?

This was one that took some editing; there was a lot of chat! I adore January Gilchrist and we managed to get off topic quite a bit I'm not sorry to say! Here is all out The Final Chapter chat. A novel which I devoured and can not stop thinking about! So much fun! Such a twisty murderful novel. I loved all the unlikeable characters who were just loveable, all the over the top goings on at a writers retreat that I knew went on!!! Such a great thriller!!!  And to join our ReadA Book community head on over to www.readabook.com.au.

My new favourite Sophie Green novel! Loved everything about this one!! And the chance to chat was just just as great!

This is a speedy episode, but a great one. I LOVED the opportunity to chat with author Jessica Dettmann about the wonderful Your Friend and Mine..a book that gave me all the feels (and made me thankful for comfortable shoes) I adored this novel.  Did you take a gap year? Would you now? What if your best friend from 20 years ago asked you to? Ahh so much to love... And to join our ReadA Book community head on over to www.readabook.com.au.

The Wondering Women and I read Ghost Cities (published by UQP Books)  for our August read. It was a reread for me and gosh I am SO glad I had the opportunity. Proper genius!!!! Siang has won the Miles Franklin and you had better believe I asked about what that feels like. Loved this opportunity, don't mind the swearing or my mispronunciation of Siang's name (honestly despite having practiced all day..) just go with it      And to join our ReadA Book community head on over to www.readabook.com.au.

Could not put this novel down! I could not work out who had killed celebrity surgeon Richard Wellington, but gosh I was going someone had! A more unlikable victim I don't think I'll ever meet!  I suspected every single one of the neighbours..as did (I think) Liv Elliot our protagonist, including her teenage daughter..what a novel!  And to join our ReadA Book community head on over to www.readabook.com.au.
