Morgan's Run

Began reading this chunky book by Colleen McCullough last night... and that's what I'm off to do right now ... carry on reading it!

The Washerwoman's Dream

This is a partly fictionalised account of a fascinating life - of a woman who arrived in Australia in the 188os with her father. She had the toughest of existences, just incredible. I started the book yesterday after finishing The World Beneath.

Now to The World Beneath

So I finished Gilgamesh in double quick time then polished off the rest of My Place. And now I am ripping through - and really enjoying - The World Beneath!

Gilgamesh Express

Last weekend I discovered I couldn't renew Gilgamesh as there was another reserve on it. So, even despite working back a lot this week, I managed to finish this rather sad book in time to have it back to the library today.

Raising a son can be a brittle, fragile affair; this book touched a nerve.

And now it's back to Sally Morgan's My Place where Nan is finally talking about growing up blackfella...
