Welcome to Litsy!

"Myrna was a photographer who got rich on a book of portraits of children from around the world. Even she ultimately decided that photographs of children were twee. 'If I had the strength today, I'd go back and take pictures of all their grandparents. That would be a different book'". Amsterdam's take on euthanasia is as engaging as his look at climate change in The Things We Didn't See Coming. Thoughtful, quirky, memorable.

It's been too long, Litsy! A reading weekend is long overdue so I'm kicking off my own personal 24in48 challenge by finishing this little gem of a book... Can't do next weekend so for once in my life I'll be ahead of things 🙃

I saw Sarah Schmidt rave about this, so I had to have it, because I am pretty sure she is my long-lost Australian twin. 🖤

Power's out on this stormy morning. Time to catch up on my netgalley reads.

Really cleverly written and very thought provoking. It's a book that will stay with me a long time.. it's a story but written which a really good depth of feeling in respect of both the helper and also the helpee. I want to read more of Steven,s books

I'm working today so my Read and Eat entry is a sugar and caffeine fix to get me through the rest of the day! I've just started Steven Amsterdam's new novel - Easy Way Out. He's one of my favourite Australian writers and this one is proving to be just as good as his others! #septemberphotochallenge #daythree
