Georgie has read and loved Miriam Webster’s The Slip, ten stories set around Melbourne. A concoction of stories that are fun, sometimes ridiculous, precise, familiar enough to draw you in yet absurd enough to keep you there. Highly recommend

Anna has read & loved Asta Olivia Nordenhof’s Money to Burn, which recounts the life histories of Maggie and Kurt in beautifully looping chapters that zoom in and then out of each character and give a remarkably deep sense of two ordinary lives in only 150 pages.

Unfashionably late to the party as always, yesterday Anna inhaled the first half of Deborah Levy’s Hot Milk, a brilliant portrait of an hysteric, and also of emergent desire. Perfect reading for the weirdly warm turn in the weather. No spoilers please. 🐙
