17.01.2022 She was quite beautiful.
07.01.2022 Below Deck is about self-discovery. The story revolves around Oli’s unique way of experiencing life in colours. Waking up in a stranger’s boat, she panicked because at first she could not remember what had happened to her. She will make two instant friends: Mac and the ocean. Talking about the ocean, Oli’s love of it is captivating. The way Hardcastle articulates the experience of sailing makes me want to try it for myself one day. ... As a social worker, I love the feminist voice in Hardcastle’s writing. As I was reading the book, I found myself applauding her desire to showcase the achievements of women in the arts. However, as a man, I was at times uncomfortable with way men were portrayed. So, if you would like to read a novel with an Aussie female protagonist, in love with the ocean, and finding herself in an empathetically male-driven world, then Below Deck should be on your to read list. My rating: 4 out of 5 #videobookreview #bookreccomendation #bookrecommendations #bookreviewer #aussiebookstagrammer #aussieauthor #aussiereaders See more
07.01.2022 Hmmm. Where do I start? The Muse... The Muse is so full of secrets. From the very beginning of the story, we have the feeling that Odelle doesn’t share everything with her audience. The book begins by showing her working in a shoe shop, enjoying the friendship of her Caribbean colleague. But then she applies for a job at Skelton, an upmarket gallery in London. After she gets the job, she will make two friends: Pamela and Marjorie Quick, and later on Lawrie. But the story ...in London is suddenly stops, Burton sending us to 1930s Southern Spain, telling us the artistic journey of Olive Schloss, the daughter of Harold and Sarah Schloss, and the life of two young Spaniards: Teresa and Isaac Robles. The entire book revolves around one painting. I think Burton did a fantastic job in creating amazing plot twists. She made me fall in love again with Southern Spain, remembering my numerous holidays in Malaga. Back in 1960s London, what happened 30 years ago on the Iberic Peninsula seems to affect Odelle’s life in ways she could have never imagined. The painting thought to have been painted by Isaac Robles reenergises the British capital, empowered by Skelton Institute. Odelle becomes close friends with Marjorie Quick, whose past is intrinsically connected to Spain, the painting, and Olive Schloss. Odelle is an artist herself, she loves writing. But just as Olive Schloss who doesn’t want to be in the spotlight, Odelle is reluctant to have her writing in public, no matter how much she craves to be published. I love the parallels between characters and places. I won’t tell you the details, because you have to see it for yourself. So, if you would like to read a novel with impressive twists, amazing parallels, and fascinating female protagonists, then The Muse should be on your to-read list.

06.01.2022 Flesh wounds is about family. The entire story revolves around Glover’s unique upbringing. Being born in Australia from English parents, the book marries the two worlds in a quirky and humorous way. Talking about humour, Glover is such an excellent entertainer. The jokes he inserts in his writing and his ability to turn a very emotional or dramatic episode into a comical one, is really quite charming. I loved the Australian voice in Glover’s writing. A fresh European ...immigrant myself, I learned many things about Aussie family culture. And a big bonus, Canberra gets mentioned quite a fair bit. So, if you would like to read a memoir about a really quirky family, but written in a humorous manner, Flesh Wounds should be on your TBR list.
