Greece - The Potter's House by Rosie Thomas
South Africa - The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay
I started reading "Hunting and Gathering" on the week-end and could not put it down. It is so easy to read, and such clever, poignant story-telling, that I just wanted to keep on reading and find out more about the interesting mix of characters livi…

I really enjoyed Marina Endicott's "Good to a Fault".
It begins with a car accident, and as the story unfolds, the lives of all those involved, are turned upside down. The driver at fault is 43 year old Clara Purdy, who, after years of nursing her…
I read this book about a morbidly obese, lonely and hopeful woman who moves next door to a young couple and proceeds to make their life a living hell because I thought it sounded intriguing and a quote from Alison Flood of the guardian.co.uk on the…
This is a compulsively readable novel, narrated by Annie, a lonely, clumsy, obese woman with a murky past. She moves into a new neighbourhood and attempts to ingratiate herself with Neil, her new neighbour. She is a student of self-help literature a…
This book is the result of Stephanie's work establishing kitchen gardens in Australian primary schools, the idea being that children who know how to grow and cook their own food, will have an interest in healthy fresh produce for their entire lives.…
Written in the first person, this novel grabs you from the first page, and a sense of unease escalates as you read. It is the story of a lonely young man who takes out his frustration and anger in the most brutal fashion. It is a compelling read abo…
Having been a Children's Librarian, and having the name Jane, I feel compelled to read this, even though it's not the style of book I would normally go for.

Sex and Stravinsky: Barbara Trapido at Mosman Library at Mosman Library
September 6, 2010 from 7pm to 9pm
The time is 1995, but everybody is linked by their past. Brilliant Australian Caroline can command everyone except her own ghoulish mother, which means that things aren’t easy for Josh and Zoe, her husband and twelve-year-old daughter.
Josh has biza…
Who wrote 'When winter comes'? I just checked but there doesn't seem to be another Twelve Houses book in the works but Sharon has written a brand new book called 'Troubled waters' which we will order soon! Yay!
Truth is the beginning of the sequel to Peter Temple's "The broken shore". It's about violence, battery, crime, corruption and deceit
His clarity grabs you from the start and an engaging novel (which is what I love).
It's well paced and evocative.…
Monday Matters: Create Better Lives Through Good Health at Mosman Library
August 2, 2010 from 10:30am to 11:30am
Dr Mark Symonds (BChiroSc, MChiro, International Certified Chiropractic Wellness Practitioner) is the Principal Chiropractor and owner of Neurohealth Chiropractic. His aim is to create better lives through good health by minimising any areas of stru…
This fabulous prequel to the Black Magician Trilogy is set hundreds of years before the events of the first books. It could be read on its own but I think it would be better to read the trilogy first. One of the main mysteries from the trilogy is…
I really liked this series too! I thought they were borderline romancey, but still excellent. The internal struggle that Wen was dealing with throughout the book was depicted magnificently. Will there be another one - That is the question! Has anyon…
