This book was published in 1985 so it's a bit dated now, but still a good resource and full of lovely pictures relating to the books and authors. #AugustIsATrip #Australia

Big congratulations @MrsMalaprop on your Litsy milestone! 🎊👏 thank you for the #ozfictiongiveaway Loving your idea of promoting & celebrating Australian lit #ozfiction
I was thinking of either The Strays or The Lake House (Morton), both have been on my wishlist. Finally decided on Emily Bitto‘s debut -partly because Atonement is one of my favourite books of all time; and because I remember you and @Kalalalatja gave a strong pick for the book. 💕

Kalalalatja The Strays was great! 7y
MrsMalaprop Excellent choice. Thanks for your entry 😊. 7y

It‘s time for an #ozfictiongiveaway to celebrate me reaching this Litsy milestone.
Tell me what Australian fiction you‘d love to read & why. Tag the book and post using #ozfictiongiveaway @MrsMalaprop .
If you need ideas, I‘ve been using the #ozfiction hashtag when I post about Australian fiction, but don‘t be limited by that if there‘s another novel you‘re dying to read.
Entries close 25 May. I‘ll pick three winners. Open internationally. 📚🇦🇺

#OldCoolBooks #collectorsedition

I was presented with this illustrated book of short stories at my high school graduation in 1988. It‘s precious rather than collectible because I received it for getting the top mark in English. The inscriptions from my English and English Literature teachers make it precious to me too.

Bklover Beautiful and very special!💕 7y
Linsy How wonderful! Inscriptions remind us how loved we are. ♥️♥️♥️ 7y
ReadZenRites It‘s beautiful. That artwork!💕 Happy 30th high school graduation anniversary. it‘s mine as well! 😁. Yay Class 1988 😆 6y
