Such sad reading; as I was reading about the first case- friends Kay and Toni I was like this has no resolution..and obviously that’s the whole point. They vanished. We don’t know what happened. The book does a great service in demonstrating that! Their families have no resolution. I think Nicole Morris has done a
I devoured this novel! I’m not a Saturday Night Live fan, and maybe for half a sentence I was worried then I just sunk on in…I loved it! I loved the peek behind the scenes, I loved seeing the divide between famous and talented ‘goblins’..I just loved everything about it; what a satisfying romantic comedy.
Gosh I just loved being a member of the Copeton Crochet Collective (even though I knitted my way through) this is such a delight of a novel; all the craft, community and connection…I loved it all so much. I also learnt so much about islamophobia, racism, judgment, unconscious bias, staging a resistance with wool…this is

I loved this novel, but I did find it heavy going and I found myself ‘accidentally’ picking up a lighter read as I read it. It’s heart wrenching, and haven’t we all looked at those people handing their children through barbed wire, or remember in Australia the children overboard reports; what makes a mother offer

I love this novel and cannot wait until it comes out on the 30th and I can talk about it properly! The arcs come with a media release that says not to review unless it’s been approved..so I’ll just say think Hay Rollers. Think Maya Linnell is just a master! Absolutely loved it!!!

I have no trouble picking up a big novel, the more pages the better I kind of think. Gone With The Wind was one of my first big books, and I’ve read countless big novels since Goodness, I was so excited when I saw Go and Tell the Bees I have Gone, that baby is
This is a bookclub book for me, and my first Liz Byrski, I really enjoyed it. Have you read her novels? I know they always went like hotcakes at the shop. Should I seek out more? I am so glad I had the opportunity to read A Month of Sundays. A book about people loving

Maddie might just be my most favourite character. I loved her and really cherish getting to hear her story. I loved Maame. When I first met Maddie she was absolutely Maame, ‘sweet, little dependable, pushover, spineless, pathetic Maddie..’(not really, she was just trying to be a good family member) who has ‘only ever been all
This was a fantastic read. I have never ever thought about Mary Bligh before and to meet such a brave, fortitudinous, courageous and stubborn woman lurking in the history pages was incredible! What a woman! What a story! I don’t know enough early colonial Australian history so it was wonderful to have the opportunity to
Could not have loved it more!!!!! I’ve had the best week of reading!!! One great book after another..I’ve been looking forward to this novel since The Daughter of Victory Lights!! And it did not disappoint at all, if anything I’ve finished The Magpie’s Sister a bigger fan! Who knew I was so interested in Australian
