Welcome to Litsy!

I had heard of some of the IRL characters in this novel- but didn‘t know enough about them to be second guessing facts!
I thought it was a good inter-war novel, focused on German anti- Nazis.

🤔 wonder where this could be….

Very late with my #BookReport and #WeeklyForecast this week 😬I am #audioquilting whilst listening to All That I Am. Reading and enjoying A Gentleman in Moscow and next on the list is Kiss of The Spider Woman.
The quilt is for a fundraiser for our local fire services after weeks of bush fires here in Aus.

On paper, I should have loved this book. Interbellum Nazi fighters, hell yeah! In reality, it was somehow both turgid and flat, the dual narration failed dismally to create any contrast between the voices, and I was bored to tears throughout. I only finished because I was reading it to tick a challenge box. I have no idea why this received all of the praise it did, but à chacun son goût I suppose. Onwards.

#indiebuddyreads I knew I had this book. Took me about an hour to find, I thought I was going crazy. Interested in it because the MF long list comes out today. 😊

Miles Franklin award winners - I've read and loved all of these, except Voss, the inaugural winner in 1957. I don't know if I've read this year's winner - it will be announced tomorrow! #bookpairings #fallintobooks

Brilliant. Powerful. Well-told.

A story set during and after WW2, Funder's story--while having a typical nostalgia for a certiain idea of Sydney--is captivating, thought-provoking while still being fun to read.

#SummerSantaGoesPostal I am so excited to be participating in my first Litsy book exchange. I have been having fun spying on my match and choosing what to send. 👏📚🎁📦📮

Thanks @BookishMarginalia

If you haven't yet read Tim Winton or Hannah Kent, you must. Shirley Hazzard's 'The Transit of Venus' is one of my favourite books. Annabel Crabb is funny & wise. And The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan is sublime. 👌🇦🇺

Among the detritus of book club the discussions eddy & swirl around war & love & betrayal. This novel was based on real people who took a stand against hitler in their time. Recommend if you like WWII era fiction

OMG! I have to finish this book by tomorrow for bookclub....... Looking forward to some reading time tonight❤️
