Thursday's Child

pick

I seem to be the only Litten to have read this one. Sonya Hartnett is a prolific Australian author of mainly children‘s & YA books. This one won the 2002 Guardian Children‘s fiction prize. I‘ve read many of her novels over the years. I love her work and I loved this, set in 1920‘s country Australia. Lots of poverty & hardship, with a sprinkling of magical realism 🤔. Reminiscent of Tim Winton‘s Cloudstreet, although not as epic. Quality #ozfiction

paper.reveries Oh nice! You're bringing us Australia's hidden gems apparently haha! 2y

MrsMalaprop @paper.reveries 😊 I used to use the #ozfiction tag a lot, so that Littens could easily find themselves some Australian reads 🤗📚. Not sure it took off though 😂 2y

Erinreadsthebooks Love this! Reminds me of all the great Australian recommendations I get from the Diving In podcast 🤩 2y

TheLudicReader The only book I have read by her, Surrender, was really good. I should check out more of her work. 2y

LeeRHarry Sad to say I have yet to read any of her books. 2y

Rissreadswithcats I like your #Ozfiction tag! It‘s a great idea! I‘ve not read any of her books I don‘t think. 2y

MrsMalaprop @Rissreads I wonder if there are any in your school library? I have a few if you‘d like to try her. 2y

Rissreadswithcats I will definitely have a look! 2y

Any Sonya Hartnett fans out there? My mum was a fan of this prolific Australian writer and I have consequently read many of her books over the years, some YA and some adult fiction. I came across this one in a secondhand bookshop & it called to me.
I‘m heading in… #ozfiction #currentlyreading

CarolynM I‘ve never read her, but I have met her. She used to live near me. 2y

MrsMalaprop @CarolynM That‘s very cool! 2y

@AsYouWish thanks for the Tag for #ThoughtfulThursday

- I don't really get “book hangovers“ because I jump in and read something else. I just have such a huge TBR
- Humbert from Lolita --- such a vile human being
- Right now I prefer stand alone because I have such a large amount I want to read but.. I am reading more series.

📖 - Yes, I usually get them when I read books quickly one after another and it usually lasts a few days because I continue to read books during that time.
📖 - I usually say Black Jack Randall from Outlander is the most villainous character
📖 - Both, as long as it is good I will read it.

Thanks for the tag @Eggs 😘

1. I like Fridays and Saturdays best - sometimes I get the pre-Monday grumps on a Sunday 😬
2. I‘m looking forward to a few days off mid-month with lots of reading. And the SSGP swap of course!
3. I don‘t listen to podcasts
4. I don‘t use posh pens like @TrishB but it can‘t be just any cheapo biro - has to be a Bic! And, of course, I love a highlighter pen!
5. if you‘re reading this, you‘re tagged 😁
