Searching for Charmian | Suzanne Chick

I think the sun is going down on my last summery day 😭 so I am sitting on my balcony reading about books and drinking a birthday bottle. I think the tagged book will be the one I take to the Sydney Writer‘s Festival this year to read. Turns out my parents will be in old Sydney town for dad‘s drs appointments to do with his accident not this January but the last so we will catch up for dinner both nights and they have booked the same hotel as me.

TrishB Sounds like a plan. Love your glass ❤️ 1w
LapReader Thankyou @TrishB It was a gift from an old man whose wife I work with. She is way past retirement. I don‘t have a license so he would drive me home from work once a week in exchange for the use of my sauna as it helped with his emphysema which he died of eventually. They were his mother‘s and so delicate. I cherish them. Very generous people. 1w
TrishB Oh that‘s a lovely story too (sad but lovely!). Beautiful and good memories. 1w
CarolynM This was such an interesting book. I‘ve been thinking about it a lot since Suzanne‘s daughter‘s book has been out🙂 1w

Today after getting my nails done I popped in to the op shop next-door to see whether I could find myself a Georgette Heyer @LeahBergen . I did not find a Heyer, but I did find these two 😍. For $2 each! #bookhaul #winning

BarbaraBB What I loved is so good!! 1y
LeahBergen Well, those are some good finds! Let me know if you can‘t find a Heyer… I‘ll send you one! 😘 1y
MrsMalaprop Thanks @LeahBergen I‘m sure I‘ll find one. Especially with @rissreads sending me links to book sales in our town. She‘s such a bad influence 🙄😂 1y

MrsMalaprop @BarbaraBB That book keeps coming up & then I spotted it today. 🙏 1y
CarolynM Keep looking out for the Heyer‘s, you are bound to find a few soon. And I agree with @BarbaraBB about What I Loved. 1y
Rissreadswithcats I‘m on the hunt for you now Serena! It won‘t take us long! 🤣 1y
Rissreadswithcats So what Heyer are we looking for? Which are the best @LeahBergen ? 1y
Rissreadswithcats Which would you recommend @CarolynM ? 1y
CoffeeK8 Venetia is good! My favorite is 1y
LeahBergen @Rissreads Let‘s see … maybe be on the lookout for Cotillion, The Grand Sophy, Frederica, Arabella, These Old Shades (this one is Georgian era rather than Regency), or The Corinthian. Or whatever you can find! 😆😆 I‘ve actually not read Venetia yet but it seems to be a favourite of a lot of Heyer fans. Happy hunting! 1y
CarolynM @Rissreads I‘ve only read a couple of the romances so I‘m not much help with those. The mysteries will be harder to find but, for what it‘s worth, No Wind of Blame and Behold Here‘s Poison are my favourites.🙂 1y
LeahBergen @CarolynM I‘ll make a note of these titles! 👍 1y

We Were Not Men | Campbell Mattinson

Such a strong sense of place, Newport and Flowerdale come alive on the page. Opens with a tragic and traumatic car crash, and we follow Jon and Eden as they rebuild their lives while also setting themselves for Olympic careers. There's a lot about swimming. Beautifully written.

MrsMalaprop I just learnt of this book. The twins that inspired it were in my year at Altona High School. Will need to get my hands on a copy ASAP. 4y
