October’s Reading Challenge is to read a novel set on an island or with “island” in the title.
I live in the southwestern United States, so I suspect that’s why I LOVE reading books that are set either on an island or along the coast. As I was mulling over this month’s reading challenge topic, I kept gravitating toward an island setting. While I LOVE Australian fiction, I thought I would visit another island. So, I thought I’d go a little to the east and read a book set in New Zealand.
After googling New Zealand mysteries, I found several contenders and I was originally going to go with a book I already own. Because I had to keep looking for future mysteries to read, I completely changed my mind (which I tend to do with reading challenge selections 😀 ). So I finally settled on The Last Time We Spoke by Fiona Sussman.
Barring any dental emergencies, I should be able to complete this month’s challenge *fingers crossed*.

I am looking forward to your selection!
Happy Reading!!
If you participated in last month’s challenge, check out the discussion post HERE and let us know if you met your challenge!
Well if Australia is counting as an island I am going with Dearest Milton James by NR Walker.
I enjoy stories set in Australia – the humour and dialogue is close to British whilst being in an exotic location!!
Ohhh! I love NR Walker!!
If you’d like a romance set in New Zealand, I’ve enjoyed Cutting Cords by Meredith Shayne.
Thank you for the recommendation. I’ll sure and check it out.
