6 Degrees of Separation: From The Slap to Half the Sky premium
Welcome back to Six Degrees of Separation, the bookish meme where Kate from booksaremyfavouriteandbest nominates the title of a book, and we link it to six others in whatever random ways they connect. Each person’s chain will look different, and that’s half the fun – so join in and see where your links lead. This month’s […]

Australians at War: Recommended Reading (Non-Fiction) premium
Will you be commemorating Anzac Day on 25 April this year? I have written elsewhere about why I do choose to acknowledge Anzac Day, as well as the recognition that the occasion is problematic for some. In part, I said: ‘There has not always been room for those whose experience or understanding has deviated from the legend. Yet, […]

2017 Perth Writers Festival Wrap Up premium
Last year, I was a first-time guest of the Perth Writers Festival, with the excitement of a newly published book. This year I attended with doubts and questions, focused more on my shortcomings than on any progress I’ve made with my current work-in-progress. At its core is the story of one man’s life, a complex […]

6 Degrees of Separation, Reading
January 7, 2017
6 Degrees of Separation: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo premium
Welcome to the first Six Degrees of Separation for 2017. This literary meme is based on the concept that we’re all connected to each other by less than six degrees of separation. Kate from booksaremyfavouriteandbest chooses a book, and we link it to six other titles in any way we like. It’s easy and fun […]

2017 Reading Challenges premium
Historically, I’ve been terrible at fulfilling reading challenges, but I’m determined to do some things differently in 2017. One of my goals is to spend more time reading books and less time on social media. Not that I’m anti-social media – it’s allowed me to connect with readers, re-connect with old friends and access hundreds […]

    I confess I wasn't sure if I would be able to read Lincoln in the Bardo, but I've had several writer friends who think A Swim in a Pond in the Rain is wonderful.
    In Six Degrees of Separation: from True Story of the Kelly Gang to My Grandmother Sends her Regards and Apologises
    So many links in our chains are tenuous, aren't they (family connections or links between books)?!? But you're right - who cares!
    In Six Degrees of Separation: from True Story of the Kelly Gang to My Grandmother Sends her Regards and Apologises
    That's so interesting, Lisa! There were certainly parts that made me sob, but I couldn't put it down - reading is so subjective, isn't it? How far did you get before you had to stop reading?
