panWell that was offensive. I kept reading because of the audacity!
White savior, incorrect information about an existing culture, and cultural insensitivity

pickCraig Silvey is a local (Perth Western Australian) author. I‘ve read all of his books and this is his latest, a children‘s book that has just been made into a movie that I‘m going to see this weekend. If anyone is looking for Australian fiction recommendations my favourites written by Silvey are Jasper Jones and Rhubarb. #ozfiction
pickAnother perfect day for reading outside . Lucky yet again to find this in an op shop for $2. Published in 2011 , it took me to a country town in West Aust and to Sydney and around the Quay with the Opera House and the Bridge. It follows 4very different characters who visit the Quay , their thoughts , their stories . The writing is superb. 🤞I find more of her earlier works.
We have a shop here that sells library discards and other second hand books. Money goes to the Para quads. It is next to a Para quad op shop. It‘s a great place for book lovers and not too far from where we live. I was so happy to find these two books. The tagged book by amazing Aussie author who died way too young. Other was a favourite of my mums. . It will join my TBR shelf.
Found this in a little side bookshop in Newcastle.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!
