Relatively Famous | 
I ripped this beautiful paper off quick smart and then things got hectic and I didn‘t get a chance to post. Merry Xmas and thanks @Rissreads I can‘t wait to use that bath bomb tonight if I can lose the family for a bit. Ha! I was eyeing off the gifts you gave me at the post office the other day but restrained myself. You totally got m xo
pickThis book was on list of books TBR but I‘m not sure why, however it was a really good read. The 4th book I‘ve read recently that had one chapter in the past, next in the present. This was cleverly done. Another Aussie book for me this year. @MrsMalaprop
pickA beautifully written piece about a famous author and his largely-absent relationship with his son. I‘m feeling quite reflective after finishing it, and also a little sad.
It‘s Sunday afternoon in my part of the world, and I‘m settling down for an hour or so (🤞) with this one.
It never gets old seeing my name in Shelf Awareness Pro. 😁 Anyone who wants more info on submitting books, feel free to hit me up. Quick note, authors cannot submit their own works, we don‘t currently accept self-pubbed books, genre fiction is fine if it crosses over with literary fiction, and all books must be easily acquired through all the usual distribution sources.
pickA book about life, parenting, relationships and how we all bugger it up sometimes. Though some more than others. I really enjoyed this and the reflections on relationships felt very real.
Thanks Carolyn- I‘ll try and spread the word further!
Lunchtime read with some vege sushi today 😁 Enjoying this book @CarolynM 💕
Carolyn how quick was that 😁😁 thank you so much 😘Can‘t wait to read and the bookmark matches which is obviously very important.
Love my Litsy bookmail ❤️
pickTold from the perspective of Michael, son of a famous author and absent father Gil. Each chapter of the novel is paired with an extract from a ‘biography‘ about Gil, which was an interesting and effective technique.
Understated yet totally engrossing. A novel about fathers and sons; families and parenting; separations and fame; how we move through life, trying to figure it all out as we go...
I loved it. #ozfiction 🇦🇺
Really enjoying this book so far. #currentlyreading #ozfiction
A spot of #bookretailtherapy and cake with fellow bibliophile @Rissreads was just what the doctor ordered today 📚🍰💕.
pickI LOVED this book, it is one of my favourites for 2018! And to think I read it right at the end!
This book touched me as some of the themes are present in my own life at the moment regarding separation. It also deals with relationships between parents and children. The hardest job in the world!
I enjoyed the way it swapped between the sons thoughts about his father and the written bio of the same man. Thanks for the gift @CarolynM 😊💙

pickWhat does a biographer owe to the family of his/her subject? How do you deal with having aspects of your life analysed and made public because you are the child of a person worthy of biography? How do you reconcile the public view of the worth of your father when he has chosen to be largely absent from your life? I really enjoyed the way the author explored these questions. The fact that the setting is Melbourne's inner north didn't hurt.
I love this time of year - the weather is cool and the sky stretches huge and blue. I picked up “Relatively Famous” on a whim and at a little over halfway through, am really enjoying it. It‘s a quiet novel about parents and children, and what it means to be present.

A new release about the relationship between a famous writer and his son. I'm looking forward to getting into this one.
