23.01.2022 Thanks so much Serena for doing such a fun artwork for us!

23.01.2022 Claire has written a wonderful review of Craig Silvey's new book 'Honeybee'. The book is out on Tuesday and our online event with Craig and Tim Ross is on Wednesday the 7th of October at 6.30pm. If you do not have a ticket yet click on the link below, but be quick - https://www.constantreader.com.au//4954-CraigSilveyinConve... Honeybee - Craig Silvey There is always a sense of apprehension and doubt starting a book such as this, which carries a decade’s weight of expectation. Jasper Jones left enormous shoes to fill, and whilst the premise of Honeybee is entirely different, it reaffirms Silvey’s talent for crafting an Australian narrative that will stand the test of time. It is a searingly honest depiction of a young person’s pain and struggle to reconcile their identity whilst experiencing immense pressure to embody someone they are not. Capturing the complexity of grief, familial love and the potential to be led astray by torn loyalties and addiction, it is a novel which at its core reveals the validation which comes from finally being seen and accepted as your true self...Claire

10.01.2022 Huge congratulations to Douglas Stuart whose debut novel, Shuggie Bain, has won the Man Booker Prize 2020. Our resident Scot, Julia describes it as a tender description of a family living in the toughest of circumstances. Shuggie gets hold of your heart strings and, as with his love for his mother Agnes, doesn't let go.

05.01.2022 With Father's Day just around the corner we would like to take a moment to recommend our new favourite espionage thriller - 'The Sandpit' by Nicholas Shakespeare. Julia read it and absolutely loved it: "I bought this for my husband but couldn’t resist nabbing it first and gosh I am very pleased I did! Shakespeare has woven a ‘proper’ old-school style story of espionage and power games centred around a scientific breakthrough which promises untold wealth and domination to who...mever gets their hands on it. John Dyer however, into whose hands the secret is thrust, is utterly ill-prepared for the violence and desperation the discovery has engendered in his fellow parents at the Oxford prep school at which his son has just started. Pursued by baddies including a ruthless hedge fund manager, a bellicose Russian with a flirty wife and a determined but increasingly frantic diplomat, Dyer relies on his instincts and remains immune to the greed driving the quest for ownership of science in order to keep himself and his son safe. Juxtaposing historic Oxford with the world of espionage works supremely as the gripping story unfolds, heart in mouth, until the surprising but utterly right denouement." See more
