NSW Police is desperately trying to block a planned crossing of the Sydney Harbour Bridge by pro-Palestine protesters.

Book Eight: THE LASTING HARM, Lucia Osbourne-Crowley

Urgent and important reporting of the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. Osbourne-Crowley’s personal insights and connection to the women who want to tell their stories make this more than just a rehash of news we have already seen. Meticulous in detail.

Book Seven: THEORY & PRACTICE, Michelle de Kretser

Completely brilliant; a wonderful interrogation into the notion of ‘women’s fiction’ with a healthy dose of Woolf.

BOOK SIX: I WAS ANASTASIA, Ariel Lawhon

I’m always going to be a massive fan of alternative histories, and this really spoke to my teen obsession with the myth of Anastasia Romanov.

BOOK FIVE: WOO WOO, Ella Baxter

I really slept on this doozy; richly dark and visceral, Baxter is a master of writing completely unhinged novels that other writers just don’t quite make work. Very real, very tense, very scary.

Book Four: THE VEGETARIAN, Han Kang

Slim but powerful dissection of misogyny and power, control and mental health. A modern classic of rebellion.

Book Three: A VERY SHORT HISTORY OF THE ISRAEL-PALESTINE CONFLICT, Ilan Pappé

This gave me the context needed for current news; will put me in a good place for further reading. A great intro to those who are looking for a concise, linear history.

Book Two: MONKEY GRIP, Helen Garner

Garner’s first published novel still feels as gritty and sharp as the first time I read it.

2025 book thread!

Book One: PRAISEWORTHY, Alexis Wright

A sweeping epic; filled with some of the most perfect sentences I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading.

I absolutely see red when people do this. And people do it all the time.

We definitely already know it’s bad?? We know that firsthand, and many of us have loved ones who can’t pay for care they desperately need??? Maybe don’t salt that wound????

Unlocked a core memory

I have a book! I will send photos x

Gorgeous!

There’s so much pressure in the first of anything. First page of a new journal, first sentence on a new project, first post on new social media. Making this the first so I can get it out of the way.
