I‘ve been at the Sydney Writer‘s Festival since Wednesday when this photo was taken. It‘s been hectic catching up with friends and family. I didn‘t get to my first lecture due to the current East Coast Low causing havoc so I took the time to have a nice lunch at Fratelli Fresh at Darling Harbour before heading to the Maritime Museum to listen to Why We Swim. I didn‘t realise how many book releases they do outside the fest dates. I‘ll be back.

Finally got around to reading this. Not too sure what I thought so I looked up the author and listened to her and got an idea of what she was doing in this book. Loved her descriptions of NY. Very real.
The story somewhat repetitive and drawn out. A brave first novel.

Have been trying to track down her books in our library system . Most available as ebooks. Disappointing for me. If I were to try an ebook, what device would you suggest ?
Found this in an op shop. Such great writing.
Always makes me sad that she died so young. Such potential, gone. 😢

Suet624 Can‘t help you with an ereader because I don‘t use one but I downloaded kindle onto my iPad and read ebooks that way. Granted I rarely read an ebook so I probably don‘t know what I‘m missing. 2mo
BkClubCare @Suet624 - just piling on that I prefer to read Kindle books via the app on my iPad over using my Kindle device. The iPad kindle app is just so much easier. 2mo
BkClubCare And Wow - she has a lot of books, none of which are available on my Library‘s Libby access. 2mo
CarolynM I also use the kindle app on my iPad and find it very user friendly😊 I really must read more Georgia Blain. Such a very sad loss😢 (edited) 2mo

A couple goes into the crime lab and holds people hostage because the police failed to find their missing daughter several years ago. They threaten to burn critical evidence of major crimes until the police find their daughter. This is a quick thriller that was really good. If you like James Patterson, you‘ll probably like this one.

Was 🏡 for the hols but leaving 2morrow. Went 2 Salvos with mum 2day. She found me the linen tea towel (a steal at $2) of my fav country & godson & I scored some $1 📚! Lots of dvds to watch over the school holidays plus some crafty projects. The 👖 are Uniqlo for $6 & perfect 4 work. They‘ve functional pockets! There r some travel sized toiletries 4 my waterskiing trip in a wk or so & 1 can never have enough tea strainers. Total🟰 $34.40.

CarolynM That‘s a Penelope Lively I haven‘t got! Hope it‘s a good one🙂 5mo

Just finished watching season 2 - was hooked just as throughly! This season featured an actor who was in a show I watched growing up so it did hurt a little to see him play a baddie.

Reading the book synopsis makes me think that storylines were blended - if anyone has read it - I am curious about the fate of Twist. Unfortunately it hasn‘t got enough traction online for someone to have written one of those handy book vs show articles.

Lauredhel oh, I forgot about this show! Season 2 is on iView? 5mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Lauredhel, yes - it‘s on abc iview 🇦🇺 5mo

This was a really good book. It was heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time.
