Every Father's Day, my kids get their dad a book about how awesome he is. Sometimes it's an interactive book, one to which they've added photos or drawings. Sometimes it's a song. Sometimes it's just a beautiful story, with beautiful illustrations to ...
The Librarian of Auschwitz – Antonio Iturbe (translated by Lilit Zekulin Thwaites – book review)
I read The Librarian of Auschwitz in January. Review spoiler alert: it's incredible. It floored me. I immediately wrote this review, then immediately thought that it didn't do justice to the book. So it (immediately) sat here in my drafts folder ...
The Lost Man – Jane Harper (book review)
Hello! And welcome to a new book review. One I was planning to publish last week, allowing you plenty of time to adjust your Christmas shopping and wish lists accordingly. Oops. Life is a tricky little thing sometimes, isn't it? Oh well. I'm ...

Rebellious Daughters – edited by Maria Katsonis and Lee Kofman (book review)
Earlier this year, I reviewed The Dangerous Bride by Lee Kofman. Not long afterwards, I was offered the chance to review another book featuring her words, and the words of many Australian women. How could I resist such an offer? Here are my ...
The Fence – Meredith Jaffe (book review)

Amazing Daddy – Rachel Bright (book review)
Community service announcement: there are just two weeks and two days until Father's Day. (In Australia.) Earlier this week, I shared some of the presents we've already gotten my husband. (It's okay. No spoiler alert. He already knows.) But ...
