What did you think? Lets chat!

I'm almost all caught up now, and absolutely loving the process of thinking about the books and conversations I got to have ages ago..I'm really struck by how much I did enjoy the novels and how thrilled I am to have spoken with the author..I loved my conversation with Australian- Sri Lankan author Ayesha Inoon, I loved the novel The Sisters of Senendib and am only sorry it's taken me so long to get t...

I can't believe I thought I could catch up on my podcast without taking time off! I've just had a week off with Artie and have only just almost got almost all caught up! This is another chat I have let languish in audacity, I am so sorry I got so behind! I loved my conversation with author Lauren Keegan just as much as I loved her novel The Woman in the Seal Skin!

This was not the novel I was not expecting to read from Rebecca Lim, I've read lots of her kids novels and was kind of just expecting a longer version of one of those? This certainly is not that, but it is incredible; dark, twisty and what a revenge novel! It does tackle a lot. 

Have you read it yet? Gosh I read it months ago now and have not stopped thinking about it! I'm so sorry it's taken me s...

This is one of the chats I have sat on I am sorry to say, and it feels so great to be getting caught up! The Yacht was such a great read; compulsive, twisty, so much good eating and such great armchair travel! Imagine being that rich!!! 

Such an honour to chat with Kayte Nunn about The Yacht, I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get it to you..

A time slip/ Groundhog Day style thriller set in Sydney? Even if I wasn't a Petronella McGovern fan I would have read this novel! SO glad I did! In addition to it being a twisty turny psychological thriller it also let me think about destiny and time and the brain...talk about the whole package!

I adore Sophie Green novels, I'm sure you are too; all the Australian places, the connection and the friendship..The Frock Shop is absolutely my new favourite, the first one (I think) set in Mosman! In a shop, which I absolutely appreciated as a former shopowner myself...the frock shop was once a fancy high end shop and is now a charity one, Daphne has been there through lots of the changes and I just...

What a debut! So full of beauty, wonder, seals and selkies, such a captivating read! I loved the chat with Arianne James, what a delight!

My palms are actually sweaty, I can't believe I actually get to publish this chat, it's a beauty and I always really thought too good to be true to get to speak with Hannah Richell. I am such a fan of hers. I got to speak with her a little while ago now (what an opportunity) we do talk about her memoir and I guess from that point there are spoilers, but I do not think they will detract from your readi...

This is my type of thriller; character led super twisty crime to be solved, with multiple trips to the cafe and lots of tea and scenery! Have you read The Secrets of Strangers yet? This will be a great ep to listen to regardless because we were super careful not to spoil it, so even if it's just on your radar jump right in, I could listen to Jess talk books all day long! 

Once you have read The Se...

This is another slow to come to you chat (I'm nearly caught up at least now) that I got to have with the brilliant Francesca De Tores about her incredible reimagining of the life story of Alexander Selkirk; the real life inspiration for Robinson Crusoe..we really tried to keep it spoiler free, but gosh this would make an excellent book club discussion! So much to think about!!

Glamour, love, secrets and lies..what a novel this one is! I loved being able to chat with Belinda Alexandra about The Italian Correspondent, although I couldn't get to editing it as quickly as I would have liked..

But it was so fun listening to the chat, and I think you will love the novel too! I made sure no pesky spoilers snuck though so you don't have to have finished the novel before listening (al...

I adored this chat I got to have with Anna Johnston, I loved When Lemons Give You Life, so much zest for life! We tried so hard to keep it spoiler free, it is so much nicer just going into the book and discovering it all for yourself isn't is! 

Hope you get to listen to this one while cooking something delicious!

Could not have been more thrilled to have asked author Grace Rouvray for a podcast interview before doing my research! This memoir will fly so high, it does not need my endorsement! Grace couldn't have been lovelier to chat with me, and gosh I appreciated it! What a love letter to that 'wife' in your life that you chat everything in nothing calls and knows you need your cat to have the same last name ...
