Loved every second of this ‘nanna’s book about footy’ loved the brilliance of Helen Garner’s eye here. Such a celebration of family and that ‘my grandson and me’ relationship. It’s just beautifully done; I’ve got a page of quotes that just hit me in the feels..who hasn’t looked at a nephew and wondered if this […]
I’m not the demographic or age bracket for seed; it’s fertility and relationships now and my extra 10 years just saw me screaming from the sidelines in frustration, but I was acting like these are real people and their struggles with conceiving are real…that has got to be a good sign! The friendships felt real,
A perfect summer crime novel! Loved being in Melbourne, loved the tennis, love love loved hanging out with morally flexible best mates Alice and Teddy as they solve who stole the Perry’s ashes. This is part of a series, but absolutely could be read as a stand-alone…I loved the cosy elements SO much! I can’t
I was worried I was being disrespectful reading this now, but instead I feel I’ve just had the loveliest chat about what it feels like to have an incurable cancer diagnosis over a flat white while maybe sitting on a plastic chair.

This was just a great one to read at the start of a new year; nothing revolutionary here, we all know how important vision and goal setting is..and it is really quite formal and structured… It is only short but probably didn’t need to be so long; lots of repetition and long sentences haha But
I had been waiting for months to read this!! I was like 120th in the library queue and thought about buying it I’m sure a million times..don’t you love being part of the people hahah Just talking to the themes and delivery of this book I thought it was excellent; really clear, really concise, really
I would have LOVED The Favourites at 15, all the angst and miscommunication..all the quest vibes and Olympic Gold..it’s also not fair I was comparing Katarina Shaw to Carrie Sotto..at 15 I would have wondered if they were friends! The ice dancing was super fun too..the costumes and kiss and cry 👌I’m late 40s, this
We’ve all seen the excerpts, you know it’s going to be difficult reading, obviously I know sex trafficking is abhorrent..I kind of didn’t think I needed to put myself through Jenna’s history; but I am so glad to have bore witness. As heartbreaking and tragic as you think it will be; but also so full
I lost count of how many times I laughed out loud. This was hilarious. So much obviously to say about the echo chamber of the digital grid, the age of political correctness and the meaningless of likes..it was all so ridiculously done and i can’t imagine anyone not finding this so funny.. the national treasure,
I’m not a Swiftie, I have no idea how I missed the phenomenon that is Taylor Swift, but honestly seeing the excitement for the era’s tour was my first clue…so this book was EXACTLY what I was after. Her rise and status is mind blowing to me and as a previous small business owner I
