3.15 Read With Me: Australian Literature

Listen Later

What happened when I tried to read four books in two weeks while travelling across the world during a pandemic? Well, you lucky listeners get to find out. In this episode I read an Aussie classic, a Miles Franklin Award winner, an essay collection, and a YA contemporary. I hope you enjoy!

Our next book club pick is a mystery thriller: The Trap by Melanie Raabe. I’ll be discussing this on the 25th of October, and I hope you read a long with us!

As always, you can find a full transcription of the episode on my website here
