My reading list is so eclectic, and often related to research for my current manuscript. Right this moment though, for entertainment, I am reading "Poking Seaweed With A Stick And Running Away From The Smell" by Alison Whitelock. It's a quirky memoir set in Scotland. I just finished "The War Bride" by Pamela Hart. Set in Sydney post WWI, it tells the tale of an Englishwoman who married an Australian soldier, but when she arrives to her new life in Australia, he is not at the dock to meet her! I use Goodreads as a handy tool for recording all the books I mean to read. (less)
