Welcome to Litsy!

Gatsby is helping me get a start on this book I intend to read and then send off to a good friend who is looking for new books to read.

Tidda is an Aboriginal word, meaning sister or best friend and this book follows 5 women (3 of whom are Aboriginal) who have been close friends for years. They all lead very different lives but their book club draws them together and we see how they navigate their friendship as they reach their forties.

If you‘re a fan of Liane Moriarty or Taylor Jenkins Reid I think you‘ll like this.

Thanks @LeeRHarry for putting this on your #nywd list.

Day 4 of #riotgrams and I have a few #purple books...

Catching up on my #riotgrams - here are some #Indigenous Aussie reads with a guest appearance from Keri Hume

This was an absolute delight. Fair warning, this is a character driven book, focussed on the Tiddas and their relationships (mainly with each other). (Why do people freak out when there's not a roller coaster of a plot?) As I mentioned in my previous post, there are lots of great book suggestions and also references to other artists and associations around the place.

I've started on this one today. Set locally, I'm loving that it's drawing out my favourite places in Brisbane as well as the wonderful reading recommendations scattered throughout.

This is a great starter list of books by Australian authors of colour, and I knew my Littens would be interested in reading it (and checking out some of the books too!)
