Send us Fan Mail We're now up to Episode 37?! Time flies by when you're spending it with good company, hey? It's school holidays in this neck of the woods, so in this episode I thought I'd share with you my current favourite fiction books to read. As a pretty prolific reader, I could give you a loooong list of books that I enjoy reading but I'd rather give you my current top picks. If you've read them, I'd love to know if you loved them too! *Please note the below are affiliate links, so I will be paid a small fee by Amazon or Booktopia if you use my links to buy one of these books. 1. The Dry You may be familiar with the movie version of this novel but I absolutely loved the book. It's the first Jane Harper book that I read and my favourite out of the ones I binged on. I love how Jane Harper beautifully paints the Australian landscape in it, as well as kept me guessing as the mystery unfolded. Buy it on Amazon Buy it on Booktopia 2. Honeybee Another excellent Australian novel. It's a daring novel that touches on the lives of two people forever changed by encounter, one of which is the main character Sam. Whilst described as "heartbreaking", this novel delivers is also beautiful and life-affirming. One of my absolute favourite books this year. Buy Honeybee on Amazon Buy it on Booktopia 3. American Dirt This is one of those books that drew me in from the very first paragraph and I just couldn't put it down until the very end! Although there is a lot of a controversy surrounding this book, it's a very compelling story and kept me on the edge of my seat (and ignoring my family for a weekend!).

This 'family drama' is centred around twin sisters, Fern and Rose, their secrets and their bond. I found it an easy read, perfect for the holidays.

I loved the depiction of sisterhood that Sue brought to life in this book, set in South Carolina in 1964.
