AustraliaDay

The Dry | Jane Harper

#JumpStart2021 #AustraliaDay🇦🇺 On this scorching Australia Day(44C in the shade in my yard today!) I‘m hibernating in my aircon, listening to the audiobook of one of the best Aussie crime debut novels in the last twenty years. I wish I was at the beach but apparently capacity(restrictions🙄)was reached before 10am at most waterways. I probably would‘ve melted before reaching the car anyway! Happy Aussie day my fellow littens!

Happy Australia Day to my fellow Aussies 🇦🇺 🇦🇺🇦🇺

You'll find me by the pool, reading with a cocktail or two and having a BBQ with my family 🤗 #australiaday #aussielitten #ausday #celebration

LauraWeasley Happy Australia Day! (Though it's almost over, I guess... 😬) I really miss your beautiful country and this day always makes me think of all the great memories I made there. ❤️ 5y

KirstieE @LauraWeasley oh yay!! I'd say you wouldn't enjoy our country right now, the weather is incredibly hot and sweaty ☀️😩 5y

LauraWeasley @KirstieE Oh well, it's cold and grey here in Germany (and sadly no snow) so that doesn't sound too bad, actually. 😁 I do remember a few really, really hot days in January when I was in Australia, though... (9 years ago 😱) Sending you a cool breeze! 🌬️ 5y

KathyWheeler I started this book and was loving it. Then I put it down and somehow lost it, so I never finished. I need to find it so I can finish it. 6y

The Bone People: A Novel | Keri Hulme

👋🏼 Hi to all the Aussies on here! Happy #AustraliaDay! In light of Australia's colonial history, I compiled some books by Aboriginal authors for those interested in learning more about its indigenous stories and voices. I haven't read many of them since they aren't as widely available in the US, but I am changing that this year. ✊🏽

Any more great Australian #AboriginalBooks you recommend? I'd love more suggestions.

slategreyskies I love The Bone People! Keri Hulme is such a creative and expressive writer. I could read this book over and over again. :) 7y

MrsMalaprop Hi from Western Australia 😊. I have a beautiful Nyoongar (Aboriginal People of the south west of WA) son ❤. I've read quite a few books by Australian Aboriginal authors including Am I Black Enough (pictured here). Carpentaria by Alexis Wright is another and I recently posted about Anita Heiss's book of poetry I'm Not Racist But. Heiss compiled an anthology of Australian Aboriginal literature too. That Deadman Dance by Kim Scott is another 👍.

That Deadman Dance: A Novel

BookishFeminist @SMW Oh I ran across That Deadman Dance when looking up books and didn't have enough room in the collage. 😂 These are all fantastic recommendations, thank you! I'm looking forward to reading all of them. 7y

BookishFeminist @slategreyskies She's such a wonderful writer. I wish she had more fiction! But alas. 7y

MaleficentBookDragon ❤️ the cover for

Dark Emu: Black Seeds : Agriculture Or Accident?

LeeRHarry The Tall Man is fantastic 😍 and I really need to read some Anita Heiss! I have had The Bone People on my shelf for years but still haven't got to it! Another good NZ Maori fiction writer is Witi Ihimaera - Whale Rider 💕 7y

Jae Blood by Tony Birch; Not Quite Men,No Longer Boys by K.C. Laughton; Heat and Light by Ellen van Neerven. We've struggled through yet another Invasion Day. Good news is that the debate about changing the date and purpose of the event is now very public. Great hopes for the future! 7y
