I'm reading...
I am on a bit of a roll at the moment with new to me authors that I have enjoyed and will definitely read more. Over the last couple of weeks I have read Heather Webb, Lucy Parker and this week it was Natasha Lester. Now, as someone who reads a lot of historical fiction, and a lot of Australian authors, it is a bit crazy that I haven't read Natasha Lester before now. Now I have, and now I need to read more.
My dilemna is what to read next. I could read another book by one of these three authors, or I could read a review book, or I could take a look at what other books I have here that I haven't read the author before and see if my streak will continue or not.
In the end, I decided to start The Fish Wife by Miranda Riwoe because last week I listened to a podcast with her which is part of a series being released by Historical Novel Society Australasia in the lead up to their conference which is happening in October. I really should buy my tickets
I'm Watching....
We are now all caught up on Attack on Titan, the anime series we have been watching with my son. The next episodes aren't released until January (or March) next year, so I don't expect to see him too often before then! It's been nice to have him out of his room for a few weeks at least.
We also watched Shaun of the Dead over the weekend. This is one of those movies where if we are channel surfing and we happen to see this we will watch it.
Both of these shows count for RIP. Now I need to ensure that I read something for the challenge too.
Life
Not a lot to tell here. Another week of lockdown is probably all I need to say.
I just recieved the Riviera House in the mail this past week, am excited to get to it

I hope you enjoy it too Tee!
DeleteI love the cover of Riviera House. Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI like this cover better than the Australian cover!
DeleteDuring this Covid era, I've mostly been sticking to authors I've already read. I haven't been feeling very adventurous. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI've been very lucky with the new authors I have tried recently!
DeleteWell I have read a few Natasha Lester books and enjoyed them and I will probably read this one if I pick it up at the library. Now to counter you Lucy Parker is an NZer and I haven't ever read her but I do have her latest to read so looking forward to that.
ReplyDeleteI really loved the Lucy Parker! Hope you do too
DeleteThe Riviera House looks really good. I hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteYou too Yvonne!
DeleteI'm sure you know this already, but there is some very good news to beat back the Lockdown Blues: the HNSA conference bookings are open (https://anzlitlovers.com/2021/08/31/hnsa-2021-virtual-conference-early-bird-registrations-open/) and Natasha Lester is one of the participants among 70 others. I plan on bingeing it for the whole weekend, but the ticket buys access for 3 months afterwards in case I can't last the distance.
ReplyDeleteI have bought my ticket and plan to binge it too, but I do like that the recordings will be able for 3 months.
DeleteGlad we have so many great stories to get us through these trying times. <3
ReplyDeleteMe too Hannah!
