Book #33 My 100 Lovers

By Susan Johnson

Enjoyable little book about all the things the storyteller loves from the men in her life to the small pleasures she gets from living a good life.

Book #32 Mateship with Birds

By Carrie Tiffany

I really enjoyed this book. It tells the story of a single mum and her neighbour. And a family of kookaburras. Interesting tale of how kookas behave as well as lonely people.

Book #31 Silence by Rodney Hall

Wonderful little book of short stories about silence. Delicious!

Book #30 Woolsheds

Woolsheds by Andrew Chapman

Wonderful coffee table book covering historic Woolsheds in Australia. Glorious photos that make you want to go see them all! It had photos of the Woolsheds in Kinchega NP.

Book #29 Dyes form Kitchen Produce

By Setsuko.

I borrowed this from the library. I’m glad I didn’t buy it. It is very basic and provided very little info I didn’t already know. May be useful to someone who has never done any plant dyeing.

Book #27 Marrakesh by Design & #28 Nomad

Two non-fiction interior styling books.

Nomad by Sibella Court. I found this one very interesting. I like her styling, her use of bits and pieces and her colours

Marrakesh by Design

This one is quite interesting and nicely photographed but for my money Nomad is the winner!

Book #26 The Tree of Man

I have long put off reading Patrick White. I had heard that his books were hard to read and impenetrable. As I had attempted to read James Joyce at one stage and gave up I thought PW would be in a similar vein.
I watched the recent movie of The Eye of the Storm and really enjoyed it so I thought I would give him a go!
And I loved it! The Tree of Man. I got it from the library and ended up getting my own copy. A wonderful story about a man Stan Parker who selects his own property and lives his life. PW develops his characters extremely well and looks at the relationships people have in their families and with their neighbours. Set in the early 1900s it is the story of how my grandparents would have lived their lives. Fascinating stuff.

Book #25 Running Dogs

Set in Indonesia. A wealthy corrupt family with 3 children mixed with an old Australian school friend. Covers the relationship between the 3 siblings and the girl and the discovery of past transgressions and political intrigues.

Written by Ruby Murray

Books #23 The Contented Chook & #24 The Chook Book

I keep forgetting to include the other books I read. Here are 2 about my wonderful ladies. We now have 12. Five were unexpected arrivals! We have 2 Wellsummers, 1 Polish, 1 Wyandotte, 2 Silky hens, 1 Silky rooster (who is remarkedly well behaved and very handsome except for a disturbing growth on his head) and 5 Silky chicks. All in the Chook Mahal!
