A beautifully crafted book. Writer Peter Carey‘s playbook in many ways and it was through an interview with him mentioning the book that I discovered this truly incredible family story.

My hubs went up north for Easter weekend hunting. He very proudly surprised me by bringing these home for me. He doesn‘t read, but they‘re his taste if he would. I, however, don‘t want to read a single one and feel terrible about it. But come on man, you couldn‘t just go for the easy win with some romance? 😂
pickI 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.
Today‘s Book Nook scores to entertain myself over my quiet Easter weekend. Yin yoga this morning really helped with my dicky hip. I need to get myself sorted as I got myself a showgirl gig. It may just be the greatest achievement of my life! The Angelica Banks and Judy Blume are for my book crazy niece. I could have filled another bag but it may not have been a good look. Libraries are the best invention ever. Medicine is great but books are fab.
Another tasty DELICIOUS TONIGHT recipe that isn‘t remotely the same colour as the example picture. Oh well. The lentils in this soup cooked down beautifully and the overall flavour is great—which is a relief, because the recipe made a TON of it. That‘s my supper sorted through the weekend.
so-soGotta say, I've wanted to read this for months and I almost bailed... The grown up part of me was shocked by the transient and neglectful lives, the use of drugs and apathy to do much. But remembering the era and the youth made me re consider. I particularly liked the last 50 pages or so as it felt she was accepting herself and her friends.
Last night‘s scores from the Book Swap on my way home from pole dancing. I love a good magazine.
