Challenging content. Brief, but powerful and empowering. Original format. Genuine characters who will break your heart. #indigenous #aboriginalaustralia #cultureclash #peerpressure #toxicmasculinity #grief #loveozya #preview #junerelease2018🇦🇺 #rso

Looks like this one will be full of justified rage, with teenagers at the fore, trying to grapple with tough ethical decisions. Argh. Makes me worry about the world. #currentlyreading #yaliterature #preview #junerelease2018🇦🇺

Was granted approval from #netgalley for Now a Major Motion Picture and since it‘s just released, better get a move on... also squeee. The other is a #preview #junerelease2018🇦🇺 for #middle readers. Should get me started for the weekend. #currentlyreading

The Love That I Have | James Moloney
post image

With the line, ‘For lovers of The Book Thief‘, this book sets up high expectations. Moloney is a local Brisbane author, a man I have met many times. This is his break out from YA to adult author. His books are widely regarded, so let‘s see how this one stacks up. #junerelease2018🇦🇺 #holocaust #worldwartwo #preview #rso

I think this is the new We Were Liars. Or something like it. #currentlyreading #preview #rso #youngadult #thriller #twisty #junerelease2018🇦🇺 #digital

Astonishing cover. Male MC. Small town Australia. Three chapters in, and I am confronted with strong language, sexism & racism, drug taking and a fierce bond between four teenage boys. It‘s going to be a wild ride. I mean, really, look at that cover. #preview #junerelease2018🇦🇺 #rso #loveozya

CarolynM Looking forward to hearing what you think when you finish this 7y
Missusb I completely loved it @CarolynM while it was tough (as a mother) to read about so much drug taking, and to hear the language these boys use to talk about girls, the narrative was also electric and really funny. The MC felt authentic. I think we need to get over ourselves and find more books like this for boys to read. I think it will speak to them. 7y
CarolynM Good to hear. I've stacked it. There seems to me to be a double standard about what some people think is suitable for kids in books vs TV or movies. I think you're right, boys need relatable books that will give them some stuff to think about. 7y
