BarbaraBB Fantastic choices. Still need to readTrue History of the Kelly Gang 1y
True History of the Kelly GangTheKidUpstairs @Sapphire @Ruthiella The Bookshop is the only one of hers I've read, I always mean to read more, but "so many books so little time" 1y
TheKidUpstairs @Sapphire I really need to copy down those lists - I LOVED The Sentence 1y
Sapphire @TheKidUpstairs the ones I have read so far have all been amazing except Mrs Dalloway. Struggling with that one. 1y
vivastory What a great list! I nearly added “The Moor's Account“ to mine. I read that years ago & still think about it. There's a few on your list that are def on my TBR, high among them are the Fitzgerald & the Shipstead 1y
TheKidUpstairs @vivastory The Moor's Account was proof that sometimes you CAN judge a book by its cover. Totally picked it up because the cover was 😍, then got swept into the story inside. 14mo
TheKidUpstairs @BarbaraBB it was my first Peter Carey, and remains one of my favourites! 14mo
TheKidUpstairs @Sapphire I feel like Woolf is a love her or hate her author. Her writing always feels like a bit of a battle, but I've always found that it sticks with me long after a book is finished! 14mo
TheKidUpstairs @TheBookHippie yes! It's so beautiful and intriguing and ethereal. It is women's stories told in a way that feels so deeply female, that refuses to bow to male conventions of form. 14mo
Sapphire @TheKidUpstairs I will persist. It‘s a classic, and hits the short perfect novels list and my #19202025 14mo
