Welcome to Litsy!

#upnext My final read for the school holidays. Back to work Monday. This is a bookclub read, chosen by a friend who lives in the suburb where the book is set, North Perth, Western Australia. My hometown of Melbourne also features.

Reckon this has to be my #upnext after meeting Craig Silvey and getting my book signed yesterday afternoon 😁. #fangirl #currentlyreading #ozfiction #setinmytown

Excited to see the movie adaptation of this lovely today 😍. Set and filmed in Denmark, Western Australia. #setinmytown

Four of the 13 books I‘ve read so far this year. All of them recently released Western Australian fiction. All of them excellent reads: 2 debuts and 2 by seasoned authors.

I‘ve been pondering....am I just more aware of what‘s out there? Is little old WA (population not geographical size!) punching well above it‘s literary weight? Or am I just biased? 🤷‍♀️

Does it even matter? 😊📚👏

Starting this debut novel by a local Perth author today. Perth gets a mention on the first page.

Thinking of you freezing Littens while we swelter in the last of our summer/autumn heat ☀️.

#setinmytown #NewYearReads This is a good one!

I love so much of what Europa publishes so I was happy to discover this on IG. Have you read any of these? I have a copy of The Golden Age, but have yet to read it.

I am half way through this engaging read #setinmytown. It is reminding me of another book that was quite a sensation, also featuring a grumpy old man, but set on the other side of the world. I‘m sure many of you know the book I mean. Anyone else read them both and drawn the same comparison?

#Novelpairing today with a lemon blueberry glazed Topdup doughnut 😋.
