Thomas Keneally is one of those prolific Australian authors that rarely disappoints. His novels are often based on real historical events and people. This one is about one of the two sons of Charles Dickens who settled in Australia. Written beautifully and captures the characters and late 1860s Australia perfectly. And obviously lots of references about the life Charles Dickens and his works. Interesting and a good read

Trail of the Serpent; A Novel | Mary Elizabeth Braddon

I don‘t suppose it rained harder in the good town of Slopperton-on-the-Sloshy than it rained anywhere else.

Framley Parsonage | Anthony Trollope

This was a bit more fluff compared to the others in this series. But glad to be back in Trollope's Barsetshire.
Soft pick.

Marley: A Novel | Jon Clinch

Perhaps his absence is a sign of hope. If there is mercy in the world, Captain Harry Balfour of the West Africa Squadron will spy this ship tossing upon whatever sea she sails and board her, set her captives free, right every wrong. It is not too much to ask. It is far too much to ask. It is not.

Ayala's Angel, by Anthony Trollope (Complete Set Volume 1,2 and 3) A NOVEL | Anthony Trollope

so-so

Not his best. A few fun characters, but mostly either single dimension ones or incomprehensible ones.

Need I say more?

Just give me happy stuff, okay? Yes, yes love hurts & women in love are stoopid & most hot guys are untrustworthy cads. 🤷🏼‍♀️

CatLass007 In Living Color! Awesome choice. Did you watch the competing Super Bowl Halftime show? I think it was 1992. Two snaps, a twist, and a kiss!💋 9mo

TheKidUpstairs Sorry the book was no good, but LOVE your image choice! Three snaps in a zed formation!!! 9mo
