Julia Gillard Instagram – Tis the season to be reading – hopefully in the shade on a sunny day!
And if you are reading, here – once again – are some of my top picks and the picks of my wonderful book loving friend Josephine.
I read a lot of fiction, but in the year in which the question ‘how often do you think about the Roman empire’ became a social media thing, I’m glad I also read the non-fiction works of Tom Holland, Mary Beard, David Graeber and David Wengrow.
And a special shout out to the wonderful books I discussed on A Podcast of One’s Own:
Angela Saini -The Patriarchs: How Men Came to Rule.
Stella Prize winner Sarah Holland-Batt – The Jaguar
Roanna McClelland’s debut novel – The Comforting Weight of Water
Gayle Lemmon – The Daughters of Kobani (2021). | Posted on 20/Dec/2023 09:55:08
