On the car stereo today, The Better Son by Katherine Johnson. Half way through and I feel so much for Kip. And the description of the father‘s PTSD behaviour is so spot on I‘ve caught my breath many times with the recognition. My father was not brutal as Harold but I recognise his pain and his actions. #libraries #books #reading #aww2019 #bookstagram #audiobooks
bailedI have attempted three times to read this novel set in Sydney at a time of huge change - the erection of the Sydney Opera House and Australia‘s early involvement In the Vietnam War. I havedecided to abandon it. I just cannot engage with the slow and circuitousnarrative. There is no real feeling of anticipation or fear or change. The most prominent emotion is confusion, followed by ennui. I need to move on. #aussieapril #aww2019
pickAnother classy, pacy police procedural from Dervla McTiernan. Not quite as twisty as her first novel, but still a great example of the genre and we are all just a little bit in love with DS Cormack Reilly #aussieapril #AWW2019
We are back in the inner west and I couldn‘t be happier. #aussieapril #aww2019
My companion running errands today is this new thriller from Australian author Susan Hurley. I haven‘t heard anything about it but it popped up in the newly acquired section of the library‘s RB Digital account so I thought I would give it a go. And it counts for #aussieapril and #aww2019. It has me in its thrall so far, 5 long chapters in
5am is as good a time as any to start this highly recommended read. Will try to get as much read as possible before returning to work tomorrow. #aww2019
