Daily Rituals For Happiness: How to be happy every single day by Lauren Ostrowski Fenton 11/6/16 (Non Fiction)
Tooo many great Aussie Books out this year - i'm running out of room to put them all (yes i have a kindle but i still prefer printed books)!!
There's always room for books and bookshelves. It's just a matter of deciding whether or not they are worth swapping or taking up the space of such trivial and materialistic items such as fridges, televisions, couches, ovens, washing machines, beds etc. In the end, only you can decide.
so true - I'm trying to work out if I could get away with a shipping container in the back yard but no enough room

I did too Jools! I actually thought of you when I checked it out and added it here :) Something we'll both enjoy I think!

The Drifter by Anthea Hodgson 19/9/16 (Romance/Contemp)
The Drifter by Anthea Hodgson 19/9/16 (Romance/Contemp)
Melina Marchetta was one of the English teachers at my high school. I remember her giving our whole Year 12 cohort a lesson in creative writing for our English HSC exams. I still have the notes I took that day haha!
Wow! That's pretty awesome Elias! Did you think she'd end up the way she has - famous for what she writes?
Well, that's the thing! Most of our teachers knew she was famous for what she wrote, but she never made a show of it and you wouldn't have known! To us, she was one of our English teachers and I think she liked it that way! I think by that point she'd already completed Finnikin of the Rock and was using several passages from that book to give us examples on how to effectively create tension. I still have and remember a note she gave us on using hard sounding consonants like d's, b's, hard c's, k's etc. to enhance action scenes. I remember her reciting a particular fight scene to illustrate this. I still use it in my own writing!
