Helloooo, book clubbers!

This month, we read Green Dot by Australian author Madeleine Grey. In this book, we meet Hera Stephen, a twenty-something who is working as an underpaid comment moderator in an overly air-conditioned newsroom by day and kicking around Sydney with her two best friends by night. While everyone around her seems to have slipped effortlessly into adulthood, Hera is wondering if she's being left behind. Then she meets Arthur, an older, married colleague. Intoxicated by the promise of ordinary happiness he represents, Hera falls headlong into a workplace romance that everyone, including her, knows is doomed to fail.

G’day, book clubbers!

This month, we read Good Material by the one and only Dolly Alderton. Good Material tells the story of Andy who has recently split from his long-term partner, Jen. We follow Andy on his painful, self-indulgent journey of heartbreak, as he desperately tries to solve the puzzle of their broken relationship. After all, he figures, if he can find the answer to that, then maybe Jen can find her way back to him. But alas, Good Material is not a love story. It’s about the wreckage and the anatomy of a break-up, and why the most powerful ending of all can be the one where you choose… YOURSELF. (Sorry.)

Hey, book clubbers!

Today, we’re bringing you an interview with the brilliant Jessie Stephens. You’ll likely know Jessie as a podcaster, writer, and author of the international bestseller, ‘Heartsick’. Annabelle was lucky enough to chat with Jessie about her new release, ‘Something Bad is Going to Happen’ - a book that pulled us straight in within the first few sentences. From what it’s like separating this work of fiction from her own personal and family history of depression, to who the book was initially intended for, Jessie is so candid and so warm in this conversation and we cannot wait for you guys to hear it.

Hello, book clubbers!

This month we read None of This is True by Lisa Jewell. Podcaster Alix Summer meets the meek and mysterious Josie Fair on the night of… both of their 45th birthdays. A few days later, they meet again, and Josie convinces Alix that Josie’s story is worth telling on her podcast. Alix discovers a number of disturbing facts about Josie’s life as her investigation progresses - from meeting Josie’s husband when she was 13 and he was 40, to the Fair family’s unsettling reputation. And, as Alix grows increasingly suspicious of Josie's version of reality, Josie begins to insert herself into Alix’s life, fuelled by her growing obsession. Then, Josie disappears and Alix becomes the centre of her own true crime podcast.

Hey, book clubbers!

Today, we are so thrilled to be bringing you this interview with Aussie journalist and award-winning author Trent Dalton. Trent is the author of so many novels you’ve probably read already, including Love Stories, All Our Shimmering Skies, and of course, his widely acclaimed, semi-autobiographical novel, Boy Swallows Universe (which has been adapted for television and will soon be hitting your Netflix screens). Trent is a captivating storyteller if you’ve read his written work, and you’ll witness that magic in this interview.

Hey, book clubbers!

This month we read ‘The List’ by Yomi Adegoke. Ola is a high-profile journalist at a feminist website who is one month away from marrying Michael, the love of her life. One morning, they both wake up to the same message: ‘Oh my god, have you seen The List?’ The List began as a crowdsourced collection of men in the media who had been accused of everything from sexual misconduct to homophobia. Ola would be the first journalist to report on a list like this one, but this time, Michael’s name is on it.

CW: This episode does mention sexual assault and suicide, and may be triggering to some listeners. If you or someone you know needs help, please call or Lifeline at 13 11 14.
