My new chunkster adventure! With the dreamscape & magical realism elements, the wine is a necessary reading aid. 😅

Drylands | Thea Astley

My hubs went up north for Easter weekend hunting. He very proudly surprised me by bringing these home for me. He doesn‘t read, but they‘re his taste if he would. I, however, don‘t want to read a single one and feel terrible about it. But come on man, you couldn‘t just go for the easy win with some romance? 😂

Ruthiella It‘s the thought that counts! 😅 5d

The Getting of Wisdom | Henry Richardson

My current read, and one I‘ve been meaning to get to for years, is this 1910 Australian classic about a country girl who is sent to a Melbourne boarding school.

Have any of my Australian friends on Litsy read it? 😀

Liz_M I'm not Australian, but I read this years ago. 6d

Ruthiella Gosh, why haven‘t I read this? I‘ve probably always mixed it up with

My Brilliant Career

CarolynM I haven‘t read it, but I have seen the film😉 6d

LeahBergen @Liz_M Did you remember liking it? I‘m only a few chapters in but so far, so good! 6d

LeahBergen @Ruthiella I think I may have confused it with that title, too 😆 6d

LeahBergen @CarolynM Haha! I only noticed that there was a film when I was looking at the different covers here on Litsy! Is it a popular Australian novel? Like Anne of Green Gables here in Canada? 6d

Teresereading Yes - Year 11 English Lit 6d

CarolynM It‘s thought of as a “literary” novel so I‘d guess most people who‘ve read it would have read it at school, like @Teresereading 🙂 I think Seven Little Australians would be closer to the Anne equivalent, in spite of the ending😭 6d

LeahBergen @Teresereading Oh! That‘s interesting! 5d

LeahBergen @CarolynM I have Seven Little Australians waiting on my shelf! 5d

CarolynM Oops! I thought you‘d read it. Sorry for the spoiler🫢😬 4d

LeahBergen @CarolynM Oh, no worries. I‘d already heard it has a sad ending! 😆 4d

marleed Anytime I see a posting on my favorite book of the 80s, the mini series theme song seeps through the dark cavernous closed doors of my brain and remains front and center for a day or so. So I‘m honor bound to post its link for it to run through other heads as well 🤣. https://youtu.be/-srGBVBQqe8?si=vr6bbk9SocYozgRR 1w

Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect: A Novel | Benjamin Stevenson

pick

This murder mystery takes place during a crime writers festival on a luxury train traveling through the Australian outback. It was highly entertaining and more than a little meta, as the narrator outlines the rules of writing a mystery while explaining the deadly events that take place on the train. I didn't realize it was a sequel but it didn't seem to matter--I will definitely pick up the first book in the near future!

RamsFan1963 If you liked the 2nd book, you'll definitely like the 1st one. I thought it was a little better, although I enjoyed both of them. 1w

Searching for Charmian | Suzanne Chick

pick

I think the sun is going down on my last summery day 😭 so I am sitting on my balcony reading about books and drinking a birthday bottle. I think the tagged book will be the one I take to the Sydney Writer‘s Festival this year to read. Turns out my parents will be in old Sydney town for dad‘s drs appointments to do with his accident not this January but the last so we will catch up for dinner both nights and they have booked the same hotel as me.

TrishB Sounds like a plan. Love your glass ❤️ 1w

LapReader Thankyou @TrishB It was a gift from an old man whose wife I work with. She is way past retirement. I don‘t have a license so he would drive me home from work once a week in exchange for the use of my sauna as it helped with his emphysema which he died of eventually. They were his mother‘s and so delicate. I cherish them. Very generous people. 1w

TrishB Oh that‘s a lovely story too (sad but lovely!). Beautiful and good memories. 1w

CarolynM This was such an interesting book. I‘ve been thinking about it a lot since Suzanne‘s daughter‘s book has been out🙂 7d

The Children | Charlotte Wood

Today‘s Book Nook scores to entertain myself over my quiet Easter weekend. Yin yoga this morning really helped with my dicky hip. I need to get myself sorted as I got myself a showgirl gig. It may just be the greatest achievement of my life! The Angelica Banks and Judy Blume are for my book crazy niece. I could have filled another bag but it may not have been a good look. Libraries are the best invention ever. Medicine is great but books are fab.

Bookwormjillk Good luck with your gig! 2w

CarolynM Some great titles there! Congrats on the showgirl gig, sounds like fun 💃 2w

Just Murdered: Ms Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries | Katherine Kovacic

pick

A cozy murder taking place in Australia. The characters were mostly charming. The Fisher women were adventurous. They certainly had a flair about them. They seem to have talents many don‘t have. Ms Peregrine Fisher is the youngest in the current line. She finds herself entangled in a mystery that needs investigating and solving. If the shared genetic material with her Aunt has anything to do with it, no one should worry. 4/5⭐️
