Clearing the Garbage

Last week, Melbourne experienced an evening of tempest weather. Unfortunately, it was also bin night in our neighbourhood. Our local streets, nature strips and shrubbery are now strewn with rubbish, random recycling and other mess. My front lawn also collected debris. We’re officially the scrappiest-looking municipality in South-East Melbourne, and there’s not much else to […]

New Releases to Snuggle (under blankets or air-con)

It’s still rather cool here in Melbourne, but thankfully books don’t fuss with what’s happening outdoors (unless you get caught in a rain shower with said book… then they cry with you!).

My frequent “Could […]

Sports, Historical and Ranchin’ Romances

My littlies were unwell on and off over the last few weeks, so I’ve enjoyed a variety of fabulous books while I mothered/hugged them. I know, excuses, excuses. 😉 Carolyn Miller is a marvellous Australian author. I had the honour of ‘meeting’ her at an online Christian writer’s conference in 2021. She has a sweet […]

The Love Letter

Some days I’m overcome with a profound sadness for the world I live in. Hurting people filled with brokenness and pain. Heartache and loss. Then there are those perpetrating unconscionable evil. On days like these, I pray and seek comfort in fiction. I liberated Rachel Hauck’s The Love Letter from my aforementioned unread paperback stash […]
