01. YES. Finally. Now it’s up to the politicians to make it happen. Quickly.
02. I love this celebration photo outside the State Library in Melbourne.
03. I have no desire to read this book but the cover is stunning.
04. Related: this article about book cover design.
05. And this article about book clubs is glorious (and oh so true).
06. Too bad, I went there. And it was ace.
07. A friend is reading They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera and she asked me what I’d do on my last day alive (that sounds more morbid than the discussion actually was!). Without hesitation I answered that I’d spend the whole day at the beach not having to worry about sunburn (and therefore skin cancer). And I’d eat salty snacks and drink gin cocktails.
08. Feel like a glass of F*ck Him?
09. I’ve tried, but honestly I can’t find anything to like about the peek-a-boo sleeve that’s everywhere this summer…
10. And lastly, I’ve started collating my 2017 Best Books List of Lists. Stay tuned.
Bookish Thoughts is hosted by Christine at Bookishly Boisterous. Stop by, say g’day.
1. It was up to the politicians to make it happen a year ago, but Malcolm Turnbull didn’t have the gumption to bring it on.
I know. It’s pathetic. Let’s hope he does this quick smart and has it as one really positive thing on his record as PM.
I’ve only belonged to two book clubs over the years. They all had some kind of food and socializing as part of the agenda. Maybe the best part. LOL.
The last one I belonged to was in the suburbs in the 1970s…and we took turns hosting a dinner party, after which we all sat around and talked about the book of the week.
Now I am tempted to find another one…
Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
I love your answer for the last-day question. 🙂
My perfect day always involves swimming 🙂
Fingers crossed your politicians will make it happen. Perhaps the growing number of other countries who are doing so will help. Thanks for the link to the book design piece, a subject close to my heart. Publishers so often get it wrong…
Congratulations on the Yes vote! Great to see.
Dynasty 😀 I predict people will be drinking glasses of F*ck Him in front of it.
Peek-a-Boo sleeves are yuck.
The Peek-a-Boo sleeve… what’s the point? Sunburnt shoulders?
Not in the UK, which is probably why they’re called ‘cold shoulder’ sleeves over here 😀
I wish they’d all stop arguing about wedding cake suppliers and florists. It’s just like the ridiculous early days of the GST debate. Remember the roast chook argument? Yessss!
