23.01.2022 Summer is a great time to enjoy a good book! We’ve put together a list of 10 great stories by Australian authors covering a range of genres, to get you through the summer with plenty of thrills and entertainment. Kerry Greenwood has brought us a new tale in her Phryne Fisher detective series, the first since 2013! Death in Daylesford. Garry Linnell returns with another true Australian story, this time featuring Bushranger Captain Moonlite. There’s plenty of suspense with S.... R. White’s debut novel - Hermit, a slow-burning outback thriller with an explosive finish, and Kate Mildenhall’s The Mother Fault, a fascinating story set in a grim near-future world. We’ve also included books by Monica McInerney, Richard Glover, Robert Wainwright, Victoria Purman, Andrew Pippos and Marian Matta, so there’s something for everyone! Grab a bookmark from your library branch at Portland, Heywood or Casterton, and take the challenge of writing a 3 word review for your chance to win a prize. #TheReadList
