Judith has been reading Death by Didgeridoo by Barbara Venkataraman
My Review:

Hi Judith. Thanks for this review. I love the book’s title.

Have a lovely weekend. Mega hugs!

Hi Teagan, Thank you so much for tasking the time to write your comments. I do try to be fair.
I’m trying to interview all the authors who will be at the Tenby Book Fair this year on my site.

Just wish there were more hours in the day.
Oh, and I’m reviewing for #RBRT. Have you sent any books through to her? Jx
