As someone who has an Indian MIL: They take pride in being mean. That’s all the motivation they need. Mine can be relied upon to tell me how fat I am, how my freckles have multiplied, how my son is not as gifted as he might have been, and on. Good times. Good to see you! Hope all is lovely in Aus!

One type of printer is so rare as to be sexy - the fully working printer. But I’ve yet to encounter one in a work situation! 😂 Emezi is always worth a read so an auto-buy author for me now.

So pleased you enjoyed The Blue Book of Nebo. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 It’s sooo beautiful 💙

[@CharlieBrookReads]

I have Jaded on my kindle so it’s great to hear you talk so highly of it. 😊

[@NewBlueStocking]

Swift River and Dark Emu sound interesting. Thanks for the review.

My book club read Jaded and only two of us liked it. I thought it was so well done. I’m still thinking about Little Rot.

[@Ihearbooks]

Great video. Was surprised how much you liked Sandwich. Its on my pile and I've yet to read it but it sounds like I might actually enjoy it. Just finished Black Butterflies from the Women's Prize Short list 2023. No a lot of plot but loved the main character and the setting of Sarajevo during the siege. Thank you for these many reviews.

I one hundred percent agree with label makers and laminators being far more appealing than a printer. So maybe that means there’s sequel potential? 😜

Thank you for the great video! I also felt Swift River was just average and LOVED Jaded All this discussion on vegetarians in the meat processing industry I am going to highly suggest Fowl Eulogies- Lucie Rico where a vegetarian's inheritance is a Poultry Farm. She is obviously conflicted and therefore runs the farm in a VERY unconventional way

Are we talking a Laser Printer....because if you are old enough to remember the old dot matrix printers.... well Laser Printers are more eye candy. I'm actually intrigued by the 3 themes that you brought up in this one.

Something from every continent? Did I miss the book from Antarctica? The Blue Book of Nebo sounds intriguing but bleak. A new Akwaeke Emezi is interesting, Freshwater was amazing.

Andrew Bolt trigger warning required! I saw Bruce Pascoe give a talk a few years ago, he was very interesting and very gentle in his approach.

[@Elnora-i6e]

Damn... I bought Of Cattle and Men. I should've waited for you😢
