Listeners, as you can imagine I read a lot of books. Mostly Australian fiction - given that this is the genre on which the Talking Aussie Books podcast was founded.  

I do try and read the international titles everyone is talking about (I think Yellowface was the latest) and then of course, I throw in a couple of non-fiction titles for good measure. 

However, I am far from an authority on what the majority of Australians are reading. There are people out there reading hundreds of books each year…some of the titles I’ve heard of and others, sadly, I haven’t. 

So, in an attempt to gain greater insight into the reading tastes of the Australian public, I decided to mix things up a tad and chat to a reader, author and bookseller.

To that end, I was delighted to welcome Mishell Currie (reader), Sandie Docker (author) and Anna Loder (bookseller) to the podcast recently.
