23.01.2022 Hi everyone Here is a beautiful story for you to watch and listen to. It is Lola and Grandpa by Ashling Kwok and Yvonne Low. It is published by Little Pink Dog Books and read by Dom at Holbrook Library

22.01.2022 RRL Reads: Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe. Written in 1722, this is the fictional memoir of a woman born into poverty, and lead into a life of extreme wickedness before repenting and enjoying love and riches in her old age. I found it very interesting to read a book about the lower classes in this time, and the lack of options, particularly for women. It is also a great adventure, full of amazing coincidences, much debauchery, and criminal high jinks. Available as an eAudiobook (indyreads). From Amy at RRL HQ #rrlreads

19.01.2022 RRL Reads: Midnight at the Blackbird Café by Heather Webber. This was a big Southern hug of a book. Full of Southern charm and magic. It reminded me of the movie Steel Magnolias - where even though it covers pain and suffering, it does so with a big heart and a big sense of community. From Cynthia at RRL HQ #rrlreads

17.01.2022 RRL Reads: The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. The Starless Sea is a lush, dreamlike, slowly beautiful story about love, friendship, meaning, time, fate, and mostly, about stories. It’s very bookish, deeply descriptive, and imaginative, telling many stories, alternately, slowly weaving them into one. I listened to the audio version, and it is beautifully done, though one accent in particular was not my favourite. It has a gorgeous sense of place, in New York City, and the world beneath, and was a beautiful, twisty, evocative, modern, yet nostalgic journey. Available in print, eBook, and eAudio (BorrowBox). From Amy at RRL HQ #rrlreads

17.01.2022 RRL Reads: The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes. A story that has a lot of warmth and emotion. Set in Kentucky and features the women who started a packhorse library. We see a glimpse into the lives of the mountain people - the hardship and attitudes of the depression era. It is also a powerful story of the power of reading and knowledge and friendship and love. I just had to keep reading, hoping for everyone's happy ending. Available in print, large print, and eBook (BorrowBox). From Cynthia at RRL HQ #rrlreads

15.01.2022 RRL Reads: The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot. Oh, poor Maggie Tulliver! Such a bright, passionate, loving child, misunderstood and unappreciated by so many as she struggles to do what is right. As Maggie grows she becomes entangled in her own feelings, her sense of duty, and expectations from family and others, until there is no clear way forward. It is a tragic tale, but a beautiful one. I listened to the audio, and it is very well done. Available in print, on DVD, and eAudio (indyreads). From Amy at RRL HQ #rrlreads

14.01.2022 RRL Reads: The Forgotten Letters of Esther Durrant by Kayte Nunn. The story begins with a young mother being dropped off to an island by her husband. He is in fact putting her into the care of a asylum. From these tragic circumstances we are given strength and compassion. There is also a dual storyline set in the present, Rachel comes to the island for oceanic research, and along with discovering some long ago love letters, is facing some home truths herself. The characters were well written and I was hooked into the story from the beginning. Kayte is a great storyteller. Available in print, and MP3 disc. From Cynthia at RRL HQ #rrlreads.

09.01.2022 RRL Reads: Wonderscape by Jennifer Bell. I read so much and the stories can start blending together especially when authors all hop on a trending theme. When I find an author trying something different I get very excited! Wonderscape is an adventure, blending science, technology, time travel, history and gaming. Hard to believe and difficult to do but Jennifer Bell is very talented and pulls it all together brilliantly. I am hoping this turns into a series of amazing adventur...e stories. Arthur, Ren and Cecily would never have been friends in the real world but when they become trapped in the future their lives depend on teamwork and they become friends real fast. And don’t get me started on the bad guys in this book! We have lifelike androids, weapons disguised as beauty products, historical heroes that I know and some I would like to know more about, and also ethical dilemmas that make me very angry. I encourage everyone to visit Jennifer's website to play the Wonderscape game. Readers 10yrs+ are going to devour this book... so I had better hurry up and get it back on the ebook library shelf! Travel with wonder my friends! From your Children’s and Youth Services Librarian, Sharon #rrlreads See more

08.01.2022 RRL Reads: The Stationery Shop of Tehran by Marjan Kamali. This book was such a good one to sit with a cup of tea or a glass of wine and get somewhat lost in. The beautiful descriptions as well as the character depictions were such a treat. It is about Roya, a dreamy, idealistic teenager living amid the political upheaval of 1953 Tehran. She finds an oasis in Mr. Fakhi’s stationery shop and it is here that she meets her first love, Bahman. Some months later, Roya agrees to me...et Bahman at the town square, but suddenly violence erupts, a result of the coup that forever changes their country’s future, and Bahman never comes. Do not think that this is just a love story. In the background, it is about class, politics, Iran, tradition vs progressive change and loss. Sometimes it is a really happy story and sometimes very sad. There was one part of the story-telling that seemed a bit too much of a coincidence but it was necessary in order to find out why and what happened that broke up Roya and Bahman on that fateful day. From Dom at Holbrook Library. #rrlreads See more

02.01.2022 Here is another one of our fantastic Book Week adventures with Jindera Public School We loved coming to your school to celebrate all things Books

02.01.2022 RRL Reads: A Winter's Promise (The Mirror Visitor #1) by Christelle Dabos, translated from the French by Hildegarde Serle. After a slowish start, I raced to the end of this novel, only to find that I desperately need the next in the series. Dowdy and clumsy Ophelia runs a museum on her family ark, Anima, until she is promised in marriage to a man from another ark, and finds herself in a frightening, dangerous place, unable to know whom to trust. Dabos has created a fascinating world, based on but very different to ours, where people have different gifts to use, and abuse (Ophelia can travel through mirrors). In a place where little is as it seems, Ophelia must find a way for herself. This is beautifully imagined young adult fantasy. Available in print and eBook (BorrowBox). From Amy at RRL HQ #rrlreads

01.01.2022 It was such a beautiful day to celebrate Book Week with Henty Public School this year Thank you for such a fun morning!

01.01.2022 RRL Reads: The Strange Fate of Kitty Easton (Laurence Bartram #2) by Elizabeth Speller. Laurence is invited to Easton Deadall to evaluate a church on the estate and finds more mysteries than the church to uncover. Speller evokes the time period of a family dealing with, not only the aftermath of World War I, but the tragedy of a missing child that keeps everyone linked to that tragedy stuck in the past. It was an absorbing story that slowly reveals the circumstances of the missing child. I was not completely sold on the ending, a shame, but I enjoyed trying to work out what happened to Kitty. From Cynthia at RRL HQ #rrlreads

01.01.2022 EAudiobook of the week: Bluebird by Malcolm Know. Malcolm Knox has written a classic Australian novel about the myths that come to define families and communities, and the lies that uphold them. It's about a certain kind of Australia that we all recognise, and a certain kind of Australian whose currency is running out. Change is coming to Bluebird, whether they like it or not. And the secrets they've been keeping and the lies they've been telling can't save them now. Savage, funny, revelatory and brilliant, Bluebird exposes the hollowness of the stories told to glorify a dying culture and shows how those who seek to preserve these myths end up being crushed by them. Listen to it now via the RB Digital app. http://ow.ly/uNFR50CpH7W
