Probably better to physically read than on audible but still enjoyable.

One of my 2025 goals was to finish the UQP First Nations Classics series and I came very close, with only The Window Seat left to go. Although I believe they will be releasing new titles later this year.

Snuck in book 56. Since reading Gina Chick‘s memoir in 2024 I‘ve gone down a rabbit hole of fiction and non-fiction, including wanting to read something written by Gina‘s grandmother Charmian Clift.
It was fascinating to read this novel, published in 1964 whilst having some understanding of Clift & her life circumstances at the time. I powered through this captivating, disturbing & moving little book. Way to finish 2025 👏. HNY🥂🎆. #ozfiction

sarahbarnes This sounds intriguing. Happy New Year! 🎊 7d
CarolynM I‘ve never read Charmain Clift (nor George Johnston) which feels like a big gap in my experience. Do you think this is a good one to start with? 6d
MrsMalaprop @CarolynM I think so. I really liked it. 6d

Thank you so much Carolyn. My #aussiesecretsanta was a fabulous surprise package, so many lively touches. Apologies for the delay in posting, a busy time for our family. ❤️

thegirlwiththelibrarybag How lovely! Is that Helen Garner‘s The Season, I spy? I really enjoyed that one. Happy New Year! 5d
Teresereading @thegirlwiththelibrarybag yes it is, I'm looking forward to it, as it's been on my list 4d

I have been recovering from my knee surgery in hospital and rehab and finally got home to open my #aussiesecretsanta gifts. Thank you so much. I certainly need some reading material while I continue my journey with new knees. I love the fairy bread ornament too.

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Good luck with your continued recovery! I bet it‘s good to be home. Love the fairy bread ornament too! 2w

Rissreadswithcats Yay! I hope you like what I picked for you. I loved both of these books and couldn‘t resist when I saw them on your TBR list. Good luck with your recovery x 1w

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

I got a little distracted by watching the new Taskmaster Champion of Champions episode - because some true icons were competing - I made myself a cup of tea and devoured the chocolate ⭐️

Thank you to my Santa @MrsMalaprop - everything is beautiful and I look forward to reading both books.

The Amber Owl & The Incandescent have both been looking forlornly at me all throughout the year, so now that I have them at home…

Ok well, it took me a minute to remember where I stashed this (I yeeted it right to the back of bottom shelf of my pantry. Totally normal spot) AND now it‘s opening time!

Merry Christmas Eve to my fellow #AussieSecretSanta‘s
