25.01.2022 LISTEN NOW: You can download the eAudiobook of 'The Pretty Delicious Café' by Danielle Hawkins right now, for free with your library card, on #BorrowBox. THE STORY: 'The Pretty Delicious Café' reminds us of the joy and hazards to be found in family, friends and good food and that being a little bit weird isn’t necessarily a bad thing. On the outskirts of a small seaside town, Lia and her friend Anna work serious hours running their restored café. The summer season is ...upon them, they have Anna’s wedding to plan and Lia’s ex-boyfriend seems not to understand it’s over. When a gorgeous stranger taps on Lia’s window near midnight and turns out not to be a serial killer, she feels it’s a promising sign. But no one comes without a past, and his arrives in the form of a four-year-old son. And what with an ex who thinks he can just take what he wants, and a brother who thinks he shouldn’t even want what he wants, life starts to get a little complicated.

25.01.2022 HOT READ: 'Long Road to Mercy' is the first book in bestselling author David Baldacci's latest series featuring female protagonist, Atlee Pine. It's one of our featured books on #BorrowBox. THE STORY: Atlee Pine has unstoppable tenacity, always a fighter who is unwilling to cede any ground. She has endured real nightmares and she has the emotional and physical scars to show for it. And she got that long before she became an adult. She is a FBI Special Agent assigned to the ...wilds of the western US. She has to cover, often solo, vast tracts of area: Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona. Small towns, impossibly long distances in-between, isolation like most on the East Coast have never experienced, and an environment where anything can and does happen. Working with the locals who respect, and also sometimes fear her, and have never really been allowed to know her, Atlee Pine turns her vast investigative skills and unmatched drive to find out the truth. Along the way she will revisit painful memories of her own, come to grips with what she is and what she might one day aspire to be. But in the end, she will have to confront not only a new monster, but also the old one of her nightmares.

16.01.2022 Congratulations Archie Roach on being inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame yesterday. At the ARIA Awards Archie Roach also won Best Male Artist and Best Adult Contemporary Album for his album, 'Tell Me Why'. 'Tell Me Why' is the companion album to Archie Roach's memoir by the same name. LISTEN: One of the best ways to experience this memoir is audiobook. Archie Roach reads his story, punctuating chapters with song. THE STORY: 'Tell Me Why' is a stunning account of resilien...ce and the strength of spirit and of a great love story. No one has lived as many lives as Archie Roach stolen child, seeker, teenage alcoholic, lover, father, musical and lyrical genius, and leader but it took him almost a lifetime to find out who he really was. Roach was only a few years old when he was forcibly removed from his family. Brought up by a series of foster parents until his early teens, his world imploded when he received a letter that spoke of a life he had no memory of. In this intimate, moving and often shocking memoir, Roach’s story is an extraordinary odyssey through love and heartbreak, family and community, survival and renewal and the healing power of music. Overcoming enormous odds to find his story and his people, Roach voices the joy, pain and hope he found on his path through song to become the legendary singer-songwriter and storyteller that he is today beloved by fans worldwide. BORROW: You can download 'Tell Me Why' as an eBook and eAudiobook from #BorrowBox OR reserve the book in standard print and large print on our website, library app or at your local library. NEW: You can also borrow Archie Roach's latest book, 'Took the Children Away', a picture book for children, from your local library. #clarenceregionallibrary #yourlibraryyourplace #bookstagram #booklovers #bibliophile #bookchat #bookaddict #booknerd #bookgeek #bookshelf #eBook #eaudiobook #audiobook #talkingbook #goodreads #greatreads #instabook #literature #lovetoread #lovebooks #readinglife #readinglist #nswpubliclibraries #librariesmatter #tellmewhy #ArchieRoach #TooktheChildrenAway #ARIAawards #ARIAhalloffame

01.01.2022 HOT READ: 'Nine Days' by Toni Jordan is one of our hot reads on #BorrowBox right now. THE STORY: It is 1939 and although Australia is about to go to war, it doesn’t quite realise yet that the situation is serious. Deep in the working-class Melbourne suburb of Richmond young Kip Westaway, failed scholar and stablehand, is living the most important day of his life. Kip’s momentous day is one of nine that will set the course for each member of the Westaway clan in the years t...hat follow. In 'Nine Days' Toni Jordan has harnessed all the spiky wit, compassion and lust for life that drew readers in droves to 'Addition' and 'Fall Girl'. Ambitious in scope and structure, triumphantly realised, this is a novel about one family and every family. It is about dreams and fights and sacrifices. And finally, of course, it is as it must be about love. BORROW: You can download the eAudiobook and eBook right now, for free on #borrowbox, with your library card. You can also reserve the book on our library app, website or at your local library. #clarenceregionallibrary #yourlibraryyourplace #bookstagram #booklovers #bibliophile #bookchat #bookaddict #booknerd #bookgeek #bookshelf #eBook #eaudiobook #audiobook #talkingbook #goodreads #greatreads #instabook #literature #lovetoread #lovebooks #readinglife #readinglist #nswpubliclibraries #librariesmatter
