Carolyn | 9902 comments Russell Braddon's 1958 biography of Nancy Wake has been edited and re-released. If you don't already know much about her, it makes for fascinating reading (and is still available on netgalley).

Deb Omnivorous Reader | 1929 comments Hi all! I just read a book that completely wowed me, and as it is a memoir/book about trees by an Australian author I just had to come here and rave to you about it.

Understory a life with trees by Inga Simpson by Inga Simpson

review; https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I guess reading this much about trees might not be for everyone but I loved it! I love reading about Australian, ecology, habitat and vegetation and there are not enough books out there that are not text books. By combines trees and memoir this book did a great job of it.

Also - so very well written, a literary treat.

Deb Omnivorous Reader | 1929 comments I just finished a lovely novel by Annie Seaton set in a place I have been lucky enough to visit; Daintree (The Porter Sisters #2) by Annie Seaton

It is a bit of a shame to read the second one of the series first, as I now know how Kakadu Sunset turns out. Still, after listening to her author talk, I just had to read another of her books, and the library was all booked out for the first in the series.
