#AUSTRALIA

Homecoming | Kate Morton

My local book club chose ‘Australia‘ as the theme this time. Luckily I had a copy of the selected book - my daughter bought a signed edition for me for Christmas 2023. I‘m looking forward to getting stuck in as Kate Morton is one of my favourite authors.

This book will stay with me for a while. Knowing the authors background and that she died the year this was published made this a thoughtful read for me. A story about relationships, living and dying and more. I loved it. I‘ve read a couple of her books now and loved them all. A talent lost too soon.

CarolynM I loved this one ❤️ It‘s too sad she died so young. 4d

Also from last w/e on my multiple 📕 swap raid on the way home from 🩰. I want to see the tagged book‘s play these hols but it‘s sold out already! I will try to get to Prima Facie before it sells out. The 🐧 is to add to my collection & the recipe 📖 is for my sista 🦊 & I to test out when I visit her these hols to watch my niece‘s full dress rehearsal for Frozen Disney Junior as because of my rehearsals during term I can‘t get to the show itself.

CarolynM I heard they‘ve extended the run of Spare Room. Sold out already? 2w
LapReader Oh thanks @CarolynM I hadn‘t heard. Yay! 2w
Jeg Hope we get the Spare Room here at some point. 1w

Yesterday‘s op shop purchases after my 3 hours of ballet for the grand total of $39. So relaxing. Nowhere to be and the only thing to do was go home for a wine and a stretch and seafood salad for lunch. Love my weekends.

Nope. Not for me. Too weird. #HailtheBail #BetterBooksAhead

julieclair This was my choice for the June #BookedInTime prompt, 1800‘s Australia. I‘m going to try this one instead (not in Litsy Catalogue) Search for the Light, by Rosemary Noble. @Cuilin 2w
Cuilin Yes 🙌 #HailTheBail Hope your next one is more enjoyable. 2w
kspenmoll Your new choice sounds good. Do you have a kindle/app? It‘s free on kindle ( much as I avoid ordering from Amazon, I still use my kindle) 2w

dabbe YES! 🤩🤩🤩 2w
julieclair @kspenmoll Thanks for the kindle hint! Just downloaded it. And I agree about Amazon. I‘m trying to cut down, but boy, it‘s hard sometimes. Every time I make a different choice, I pat myself on the back. 2w
julieclair @Cuilin Thanks! Fingers crossed!🤞 2w
julieclair @dabbe 💙💟💙 2w
kspenmoll @julieclair it is a constant challenge. I am Glad Blackwell‘s is back shipping to the US. It helps. 2w
julieclair @kspenmoll Thanks for the reminder about Blackwell‘s! I tend to forget about them unless I want to buy a book that‘s unavailable in the US. 2w

Sarah Thornhill | Kate Grenville

I learned of Kate Grenville through Litsy and have become such a huge fan. At first I wasn't that crazy about this one, but after a small break, I loved it and I was sad to see it end. She is so good at writing about this period of Australian history. 4.5 🌟
