Welcome to Litsy!

Review 2 today is a real life bk club selection + my 1st tim winton. Loved it, as we meet in the opening chapter a man living in a fremantle high rise who we know is in bad place, disgraced divorced drunk incontinent, who then meets a childhood friend with her grandson. The remaining absorbing story tells how his life changes with the interaction, and an ending which i think will make for an interesting discussion. Can't wait to rd more.

#31BookPics Day 15: I mentioned during the #BookClub discussion that inhabiting Keely‘s mind was like a gift – despite its being a tragic and painful one, as there was understated but very evident skill in speaking burning truths that throbbed at one‘s insides – and that takes an enormous amount of courage to pull off. It also reminded me to never take anything for granted and to love what I love with fullness & joy. https://wp.me/pDlzr-9IU

Forgot how great Tim is at describing masculinity. I read this one for Book Club. Wasn‘t keen to read it at 1st but so glad I did. Took a while to get into it though. Just like all of his books that I have read.

My Winton collection. True story: A friend came for a holiday in Perth last summer. I drove her to accommodation she'd booked in Fremantle. We pulled up outside a block of flats and went into the lift well. I got a strange feeling of deja vu. I mentioned to the people who took us up in the lift that this felt a lot like the flats in a book I'd recently read. They told me Tim Winton owns a flat on the 10th floor that he uses to write in! 😮😁👍.

#bookmail (Eyrie) the rest are a decent charity shop haul 👍🏼📚❤️
