#bookrequest - I am looking for a recommendation of a book from a landlocked country (to complete the 2024 #52bookchallenge).

I was reading The Railway but have to accept that I can't read about Kazakhstan between 1910 and 1980 right now.

If it helps, her interests vary - she loves to read historical, lnonfiction - she read “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” at 12. But, she also recently enjoyed “A good girls guide to murder.” #booksky #books #bookchallenge #question #youngadult #bookrequest

I plan to do the #AtoZchallenge again this year, but I'd love to have some input from my friends. Give me a book suggestion (or two, or twenty), and I'll pick 12 to add into my rotation. 📚

TO-DAY. THE CULMINATION OF A SERIES OF SUPERB PERSPECTIVES. The North Wall of the Gorge, Mi. Butfalo, Victoria. From 1909 issue of Australia today journal.

DECEMBER 1, 1909 AUSTRALIA To-DAY journal, Dec 1909 issue, article first page, ‘Australia as a Place to Live In’, DR. W. P. NORRIS. Federal Director of Quarantine. Includes illustration of people at the beach, with the caption that reads: “THE HEALTHIEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD FOR WHITE FOLK”.

Back cover of the December 1909 issue of ‘Australia today’ journal. A welcome to immigrants advertisement from Commonwealth of Australia, department of external affairs, which was responsible for immigration. The welcome to immigrants includes a proviso that the welcome is only extended to people “of the white race”. This was part of the white Australia policy which was in effect until 1975 when Prime Minister Gough Whitlam got rid of it once and for all.

A page from the Australian Constitution, 1900 version, which features section 51, relating to powers of the parliament. I have highlighted section 51 (ix) which simply states “quarantine”. Matters relating to quarantine are the responsibility of Australia’s federal parliament. The original constitution is available on the ‘documenting a democracy’ website.

Random #BookRequest today; #AustraliaToday journal, 1909-10 issues. Beautiful #photographs & #paintings of #AustralianLandscapes. But #AustralianConstitution, #AusPol & #COVID19 mismgt, & #WhiteAustraliaPolicy were at foremost of mind, as you can see. ploddinghistorian.wordpress.com/2021/07/09/c...

Saw a request on reddit the other day & maybe you folks can help: Any books out there that are like "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)"? Couple drifts apart, meet "someone" else, only to meet in person & realise it's their partner all along, & then they reconnect?
