I note with extreme interest, the ABC has spent millions settling cases in the past few years with white men that they clearly have not wanted to enter into an open court battle with.

I just finished my very first book club meeting as an author, (I've done it as a reader, but usually talking too much at meet-ups & pretending I've read the book)
Thank you so, so much to 9 fascinating, enthusiastic, warm and witty women who made the entire experience so joyful.

Can't help but notice that the four arguably most articulate and resonant voices coming out of the US at the moment, resisting the new regime with passion, wisdom and courage, are women.
Mariann Edgar Budde

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️
