25.01.2022 It has been 25 years since the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice! Which one is your favourite? http://ow.ly/78I850BY3Iq

24.01.2022 RRL Reads: Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe. Written in 1722, this is the fictional memoir of a woman born into poverty, and lead into a life of extreme wickedness before repenting and enjoying love and riches in her old age. I found it very interesting to read a book about the lower classes in this time, and the lack of options, particularly for women. It is also a great adventure, full of amazing coincidences, much debauchery, and criminal high jinks. Available as an eAudiobook (indyreads). From Amy at RRL HQ #rrlreads

20.01.2022 RRL Reads: The Left-handed Booksellers of London? Clearly this was going to be right up my alley, and it didn’t disappoint! Set in an alternate 1983, art student, Susan Arkshaw, comes to London looking for her father and gets a lot more than she could have imagined when she falls in with Merlin, a left-handed bookseller. Full of magic, adventure, humour, books, and romance, I loved every minute of this fun urban fantasy. For fans of Rivers of London and the Checquy Files.

17.01.2022 RRL Reads: After Australia edited by Michael Mohammed Ahmad. After Australia is a series of speculative short stories or poems, written by Indigenous writers and writers of colour. The concept is to imagine an alternate Australia, and they are set in the past, present and future. Particularly striking were Claire G. Coleman’s Ostraka, a bleak and totally believable near future, and Ambelin Kwaymullina’s Message from the Ngurra Palya, which reminded me of Nnedi Okorafor’s Binti series; hopeful and helpful. The stories are of racism, climate disaster, pandemic, and totalitarianism, and range in tone, style, and pace. It’s a thought-provoking, and ultimately hopeful collection. Available in print, and eBook (BorrowBox). From Amy at RRL HQ #rrlreads

14.01.2022 RRL Reads: The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. The Starless Sea is a lush, dreamlike, slowly beautiful story about love, friendship, meaning, time, fate, and mostly, about stories. It’s very bookish, deeply descriptive, and imaginative, telling many stories, alternately, slowly weaving them into one. I listened to the audio version, and it is beautifully done, though one accent in particular was not my favourite. It has a gorgeous sense of place, in New York City, and the world beneath, and was a beautiful, twisty, evocative, modern, yet nostalgic journey. Available in print, eBook, and eAudio (BorrowBox). From Amy at RRL HQ #rrlreads

11.01.2022 RRL Reads: A Donation of Murder (Dr Dody McCleland #5) by Felicity Young. This is the 5th book in the series featuring autopsy surgeon Dody and it was my least favourite. I enjoyed the London setting of the story, set just before WWI, and the insight into criminal gangs of the era. The storyline did not hold much substance for me and the story ended abruptly - it felt like it needed another chapter. The focus was on Dody's and Pike's relationship, while good for the relationship to develop and knowing that they have the possibility of a wonderful life together, it let the mystery side of the story down. Available as an eBook (BorrowBox). From Cynthia at RRL HQ #rrlreads

08.01.2022 RRL Reads: Early Riser by Jasper Fforde. Set in Wales, in an alternate history where humans hibernate through the intense winters, Early Riser is a satirical, dystopian thriller, and very funny. Charlie Worthing is a young person with few prospects, when he lands a job as a Winter Consul, staying up while the world sleeps, keeping the peace and investigating viral dreams. It’s a mystery filled with eccentric characters, hilarious details, social commentary, and a lot of heart. Jasper Fforde’s humour appeals to me very much, and while I found it a little slow to begin with, the delightful Charlie kept me going until the story enthralled me. I listened to the audiobook, and very much enjoyed the Welsh accent. Available in print, large print, and eAudio (BorrowBox). From Amy at RRL HQ #rrlreads

07.01.2022 RRL Reads: Wonderscape by Jennifer Bell. I read so much and the stories can start blending together especially when authors all hop on a trending theme. When I find an author trying something different I get very excited! Wonderscape is an adventure, blending science, technology, time travel, history and gaming. Hard to believe and difficult to do but Jennifer Bell is very talented and pulls it all together brilliantly. I am hoping this turns into a series of amazing adventur...e stories. Arthur, Ren and Cecily would never have been friends in the real world but when they become trapped in the future their lives depend on teamwork and they become friends real fast. And don’t get me started on the bad guys in this book! We have lifelike androids, weapons disguised as beauty products, historical heroes that I know and some I would like to know more about, and also ethical dilemmas that make me very angry. I encourage everyone to visit Jennifer's website to play the Wonderscape game. Readers 10yrs+ are going to devour this book... so I had better hurry up and get it back on the ebook library shelf! Travel with wonder my friends! From your Children’s and Youth Services Librarian, Sharon #rrlreads See more

07.01.2022 EAudiobook of the week: Bluebird by Malcolm Know. Malcolm Knox has written a classic Australian novel about the myths that come to define families and communities, and the lies that uphold them. It's about a certain kind of Australia that we all recognise, and a certain kind of Australian whose currency is running out. Change is coming to Bluebird, whether they like it or not. And the secrets they've been keeping and the lies they've been telling can't save them now. Savage, funny, revelatory and brilliant, Bluebird exposes the hollowness of the stories told to glorify a dying culture and shows how those who seek to preserve these myths end up being crushed by them. Listen to it now via the RB Digital app. http://ow.ly/vEhY50CpH83
