It's always fun to read something written by a DC native and go, "Hey! That's the shelter where I adopted my cat nine years ago!" #localfiction

Four of the 13 books I‘ve read so far this year. All of them recently released Western Australian fiction. All of them excellent reads: 2 debuts and 2 by seasoned authors.

I‘ve been pondering....am I just more aware of what‘s out there? Is little old WA (population not geographical size!) punching well above it‘s literary weight? Or am I just biased? 🤷‍♀️

Does it even matter? 😊📚👏

CarolynM I think you're probably right. Joan London is one of yours, too! 6y
MrsMalaprop @CarolynM Oh yes, love Joan London. And Extinctions won the Miles Franklin last year. And the recent crime fiction The Ruin that‘s getting a lot of attention. Although I think those authors only reside in WA & were not born here 🤔. 6y
Abailliekaras Loved Shepherds Hut and Taboo. I think you‘re right, wa punching above its weight. I don‘t seem to see many books by SA authors even though similar sized population... although probably lots I‘m missing. 😉 6y
