The Yield | Tara June Winch

Had the pleasure of seeing Tara speak again today, this time about what it means to be free, at the Perth Literature & Ideas Day Two. Afterwards she signed my book 😍, which I‘ve already read, and another of hers that I bought yesterday, Swallow The Air. When she signed Swallow the Air she asked if I‘d be kind as I read it as she was only 21 when she wrote it. Honestly, WTF have I been doing with my life 🤷‍♀️😆? #ozfiction #indigenousfiction

Rissreads I‘m looking forward to reading it too. Another fabulous afternoon Serena! 😍 5y

Went for a walk this morning to drop a couple of books off at a local little free library. Unexpectedly found a copy of this gem that I have read and loved but for some reason didn‘t have a copy of 🤔.
Then I spotted these gorgeous cygnets with their parents on the river‘s edge 😍👏. Winning 😊.

@CarolynM not only did it make the shortlist, it bloody won Australia‘s Miles Franklin award last night 🙌👏😍 🇦🇺.

Such an awesome book and an awesome result 🖤💛❤️. #ozfiction #indigenousfiction #milesfranklin @Rissreads

CarolynM I know! I was so thrilled when I heard last night! I really hope it means a lot of people will read it and maybe get a bit better idea about what life is really like for aboriginal people in modern Australia. I love what she's had to say about speaking truth to power too. 5y
Freespirit I haven't read it yet..it's on my pile..great win 5y
Rissreads Only 2 more book club picks then it's my turn! I can't wait to read this and share it with them. 5y
