My library got these in for me. I‘m very excited to read them, and happy that other readers in the region will be able to read them too!

Picked this up as I forgot a book for my specialist appointment. I‘m really enjoying it so far.
Folks, I‘ve put some helpful lists up on the blog for #aussiesrule2019 - doddyaboutbooks.com 😊
Also this book is delightful and you should check it out.
pickThis one smacked me in the feels.
A wonderful story about family, friendship, grief and loss.

Oops, my hand slipped.
Now I just need to get a handle on my Library holds so I can read them. #firstworldproblems
Also @Litsy small issue with the author‘s name here? 👆
Re the recently released Ghostbusters reboot.

If you‘re playing along, this would be a good one for the book about gender prompt.
This book is excellent. 🙏🏼
It‘s Black History Month in the US. What are you planning on reading?
This is my Swiss Army Rec for the #24in48 42 hour challenge.
This is such an important book, I think every Australian, everyone who belongs to a culture that has colonised another, and every one living on colonised land should read it.

pickHey folks! I‘m part of the Aussie Emergency Contact blog tour - you can check out my post here: http://doddyaboutbooks.com/2019/01/19/blogtour-emergency-contact-by-mary-h-k-cho...
I absolutely love this book, the characters are great and Choi explores some really interesting concepts. Of course there‘s a more in depth review on the blog 😬 .
This was a cover buy and I‘m absolutely loving it!
I‘ve been listening to this one and really enjoying it. Just to demonstrate how small Brisbane is - I mentioned the work colleague that I sit next to that I was reading it - she knows the author as their kids are at school together.

pickHazel first suspected her mother was a murderer at the age of 9. This book follows Hazel‘s journey as a terrified daughter who managed to escape her mother‘s influence and go to the police, through the court cases and their relationship in her mother‘s old age. A real kicker of a story!

Happy New Year! I‘m about to start my second book of 2019. How are you folks spending your New Year‘s Day?

Just tagging a few of you who might be interested!
@GatheringBooks @Lauredhel @MandaChittles @CarolynM @ReadingDownUnder @JennyM
pickThis book is a gripping, if sad read. Cuskelly dives into the events and personalities that lead up to the brutal murders of three people by their neighbour. Cuskelly‘s approach is mostly balanced, and she interviews many family members of the victims and friends of the perpetrator in order to get a measure of the people involved, and the town it happened in. I highly recommend this one!
Well hello there!

This is the most unbelievable thing I‘ve read for a long time. What sort of heathen does this?
😡😡😡
What do these three books have in common? They are all post apocalyptic fiction by First Nations authors.(And they are all awesome!)
Me: I really must concentrate on reading the books on my shelf.
Also me: borrows and reserves a bunch of library books.
🙄
It‘s been a while since I‘ve done one of these. I read a lot of awesome books in November and really enjoyed the tagged one! I‘m happy my authors of colour stat is up this month.
pickMy 200th book for the year is not in the Litsy data base. @Litsy could you please assist?
Melanin Garden is a passionate, no holds barred collection of poems about politics, gender and social commentary.. Anisa Nandaula is a slam poetry champion and I can hear her voice coming off the pages. Highly recommend!

Congratulations to @Lauredhel for being the first person ever to finish the Aussies Rule Reading Challenge 2018!
There‘s a little prize pack on it‘s way to you - thank you for participating!
If you‘re participating in #aussiesrule2018 make sure you let me know when you finish!
I‘ve started reading this one, and rather than the 1st person POV chapters being named for the character, there is a symbol at the beginning of the chapter and at the bottom of each page to let you know who is speaking.
#aussiesrule2018
Are you looking at the challenges you have left to complete or the year and freaking out? I know I am! I‘ve just posted a prompt mash up for the #aussiesrule2018 challenge to help you out with some suggestions! You can find it here bit.ly/2yRlebw
My hand slipped rather a lot at the book store this morning. What are you reading this weekend?
#aussiesrule2018
Attention Aussie and particularly Brissie Littens!
I‘ve been working with the local office of Amnesty International to put together a book club! This book will be out first one, and we will be meeting on Nov 10 at @avidreader at 2 pm to have a chat about it. I have a Facebook page called Amnesty Bookclub - Qld if you would like to check it out.
I‘m pretty happy that it‘s half way through October and still cold enough to be wearing long pants! It‘s a wet and cold weekend here, and I‘m reading this and putting together some comprehension questions for one of my staff members to hopefully help her do her job properly!
I‘m struggling to settle this morning. Hopefully this beautiful book by Jen Wilde will help.

pickThis book is so great with a no holds barred intersectional feminist message. Listen to the audio if you get the chance - it‘s read by the author and she is amazing!
