WHAT WE’RE READING! You might be surprised!
Peg “Drink, Smoke, Pass out—an Unlikely Spiritual Journey” by Judith Lucy. If you enjoyed the TV series “Judith Lucy‟s Spiritual Journey,” you should enjoy this book. (Note - expletives are not deleted or spared so this book may not be for everyone.) To balance this one, try something a bit gentler and slightly quirky. “There Should Be More Dancing” by Rosalie Hams is an entertaining read. Sue’s just come back from Bali and was interested to read “Snowing in Bali”. by Kathryn Bonella, the same author who wrote Shapelle Corby‟s story. The “snow” refers to the drugs on the streets in Bali.
Virginia is now “sold” on the Touch Kindle finding it very easy to use and recommends “CSI Glasgow,” forensic thrillers by Lin Anderson. If you like Kathy Reich‟s books then you will like this author.
Jodie too is now a Kindle fan, loving the new Australian books we‟ve just added to the kindle collection this month, such as “Bridie‟s Choice” by Karly Lane. “Under Southern Skies” by Anne McCullagh Rennie is available both on our kindle and on our shelf.
Enjoying the free wi-fi are Luca, Mattia, Luca and Nicola all from Italy.
