I’ve read lost of good things about this Australian author’s earlier titles (Come Back to Me, All That Is Lost Between Us) and this title set for release in April 2017 sounds gripping. ARC from Simon & Schuster.

I’ve had this quirky little novel (sci-fi rom-com?), and this author’s work more generally, on my wish list for years now. A Christmas gift to myself.

Old Growth by John Kinsella

A short story collection described as ‘pitch perfect’ by Steven Carroll scheduled for publication in February 2017. ARC from Transit Lounge Publishing.

Rain Dogs by Adrian McKinty

If you have not experience ed McKinty’s Sean Duffy Series in audio narrated by Gerard Doyle then you are missing something truly special. In The Morning I’ll Be Gone (Book 3) was one of my Best Books of 2015 and Gun Street Girl (Book 4) one of my Best Books of 2016. The ultimate union of first class writing and audiobook narration.
