The Shelter by Aussie author Catherine Jinks is traumatising and at times depressing to read and I found it quite hard to read due to the content of it. Although this one wasn’t really for me doesn’t mean others won’t like it, so give it a go and make up your own mind. Recommended. ...more

Teddy had been neglected and traumatized and his future was looking very bleak. It is thanks to Barby’s animal shelter where many unwanted dogs like Teddy get their second chance in the hope of finding their forever home.
I loved this story, but I knew I would as soon as I saw the cover that I was going to enjoy it and I was right. It takes a special kind of person to do what Barby does because running an animal shelter is a full-time job and it’s also an emotional one. I’m sure if animals could talk they would say thank you, Barby. Highly recommended. ...more

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and although I found this difficult to read because of the subject matter, I will definitely still read more by this author in the future....more

Australian author Kirsty Manning has done a brilliant job in combining dual timeline, historical fiction and murder mystery. This is one book that needs to be read to appreciate the well-researched history.
Compelling, page-turner and engaging are just a few words that come to mind when I think about this wonderful book. Friendships, secrets, love, loss and heartbreak all make for an unputdownable read. Highly recommended. ...more
