There is a greater than 100% chance that I read this book purely for the cute dragon on the cover. Is it for the childrens? Yes. Still worth it.

Nominated for the 2026 Washington Children's Choice Picture Book Award, The Bakery Dragon delivers the simple moral that working for gold is better than stealing. Kids will love the detailed illustrations. I plan to practice reading for details using a short list of questions. #wsccpba

Trent Dalton‘s writing is not for me. I read Boy Swallows Universe and it was ok but this second book really grated on my nerves. Partly, because I really disliked the narrator‘s exceedingly broad accent and her infantilisation of 13yo Molly. Dalton is added to the list of male Australian writers I do not enjoy - such as Tim Winton. I find their short, repetitive sentences irritating. I will not bother with any more books

mjtwo Nearly added Craig Silvey to this list until I remembered how much I adored Jasper Jones. 3mo
CarolynM I disliked Boy Swallows Universe so much I don‘t want to read anything else by him 😩 3mo

Now that we're a third through the month, I figured it's time I posted my #BookSpinBingo board. This month I really am going to read the tagged book.

Suet624 Good luck with that! 😊 5mo

Parts of this book were bleak and I was almost constantly listening with a slight feeling of dread about what might be about to happen, but I also enjoyed it. It actually ended on a more hopeful note than I expected through most of the story. I felt it described the setting of 1860s New Zealand and the gold rush very well.

Such a weird book! Evan Tanner hears about some gold hidden from the Nazis in Turkey. So he plans to go find it. He uses contacts from strange groups he's been a member of to manage his quest. Nothing, of course, goes as planned. Instead he's involved in revolutions and murders and secret plans. How will he manage to survive?

I have enjoyed Trent Daltons books and this was good but not as enjoyable. I felt like his detail about every little description of rocks, dirt and forest was too descriptive! It was a good story and a had some beautiful and sad moments. Worth a read but not his best.
