I have just uploaded a review of Marriage Material by Sathnam Sanghera and it was a delight. I love to read books about immigrants, especially as it is constantly on the news about the horrors of allowing migrants through our great borders. Of course living in Australia, there is nobody in this country who wasn't a migrant somewhere back in their histories, and I just think of how diverse our culture is with the great additions through time. This book made me appreciate how hard working people are to provide their families with a new life and how shallow and ignorant a lot of people are in not accepting the unknown! Don't think it will ever change though.
In my slew of reviews, I have also uploaded reviews for A Serpentine Affair by Tina Seskis, The Bookstore by Deborah Meyler and The Orphan Master's Son by Adam Johnson - all as far removed in writing style as you could get - check out the reviews to see which ones I preferred!
There have been two disappointing reads in August - The Dominant by Tara Sue Me and ..... yep you guessed it Sylvia Day with Afterburn.
I am off to Hong Kong in a few days for a long weekend of hopefully sightseeing and lazing by the pool, whilst Natalie is heading back to the UK for a work conference and to catch up with friends, so we will get a chance to do more reading on the long haul flights. Also super exciting for Natalie is the release of her second book - Stubborn Love which is due out on 5 September 2013. A great read I am sure.
Well time to stop procrastinating and more reviews, I could almost feel the whip cracking.
