My review of Romanov
by Nadine Brandes. So this was a retelling of Anastasia's story (with a magical spin on it!) and as expected, it was pretty heavy and poignant. There were some aspects of it that I felt were lacking, but all in all, an enjoyable read :)
3.0/5

Why does Australia treat refugees on Manus almost as badly as POWs were treated on WW2's infamous Burma Railway? Inexcusable!No Friend But the Mountains: Writing from Manus Prison by Iranian Kurd refugee Behrouz Boochani is already winning awards.

I really enjoyed The Kookaburra Creek Cafe, Sandie Docker's first novel, so I was pleased that my library had her latest, The Cottage at Rosella Cove. I certainly wasn't disappointed. I think I'd like to live in Rosella Cove if Kookaburra Creek is full up.5★s
