so-soTherese has split her story into three broad sections: Sex, Love, and Death (which, in itself, should give you a pretty good indication of the tone of the book). She takes a really admirable warts-and-all approach to sharing her story. This is one for fans of Kate Holden‘s In My Skin, or Belle de Jour‘s Intimate Adventures Of A London Call Girl.

pickCaptivating throughout. Australian poverty, drugs, prison, literature, mystery, addressing big questions like “What makes a good man?” And a splash of fantasy (although I don‘t think fantasy is a good enough descriptor).... all set in my neighbouring suburbs so very familiar. I‘ll be recommending this one to everyone and reading Dalton‘s newspaper columns.

pickToday's kids christmas book is That Christmas Feeling by Lili Wilkinson and Amanda Francey - this is a beautiful book about a little girl called Dottie who is staying with her grandparents and having trouble finding her Christmas sparkle without her mum and dad. This is the perfect read for kids whose christmas is a bit different than usual this year (don't worry - it has a very happy ending! 😜) 📚🎄💕

pickSo many of my students have loved this series. Australia is invaded, the parents are interned in camps, and a bunch of teenagers are thrust into adulthood as they are left to fight back - what's not to like? #fullofadventure #booktober #YA #YAlit #Aussiebooks #Australianlit
