  • ReadA Book Podcast Maya Linnell Cockatoo Cove
    Jun 26 2025

    I adored Cockatoo Cove and the chat I got to have with Maya Linnell. I turn into a tree change wanta be I think whenever I read a Maya Linnell; small Australian rural town living sounds perfect! And if that meant running into Scottish winemakers reading Outlander..well when can I move? I am loving her Limestone Coast series and I am sure Cockatoo Cove is my favourite..we get the story of Fergus the Scotsman and Maggie who I love...

  • ReadA Book Michael Thompson All The Perfect Days
    Jun 22 2025

    I could chat to Michael Thompson all day every day, I am a huge fan of his novels and could not have loved All The Perfect Days more. I can't even imagine what I would do with the ability to see how many days a person had left to live; would you warn? Watch? Ignore...what a premise for a novel! Through in a small town and a love of a life and goodness me; I am there!!! Loved it!!!

  • ReadA Book Podcast- Saman Shad The Sex Lives of Married Women
    Jun 17 2025

    This does sound unedited, but honestly I took out lots of giggling and lots of just chat! It is hard to talk the sex lives of married women when you are me and not be giggling through the conversation!

    I devoured this book, I do compare it to cocktails with friends and I stand by it! Super fun and so much to think about!

  • ReadA Book Podcast- Nathan Dunne When Nothing Feels Real
    Jun 5 2025

    I had never heard of depersonalisation prior to hearing Nathan's experience, and gosh I am glad I have. I think this is just such a generous memoir and I am so glad I read it. Nathan was exactly as I pictured he would be, I really loved our chat!

    I took out lots of chitchat, but I did leave in the 'what do you call it when as a reader you know you can just settle in and enjoy..' chat there must be a term for it; like bookish hygge....hahaha

    I also realised on my last listen through it sounds like I think writing a thriller would be easy; obviously not!!!! I just meant telling a story might be easier than telling your story... you know what I mean?!?!

  • ReadA Book Podcast- Joan Sauers Whiskey Valley
    Jun 3 2025

    What a fun chat this was! I really loved Whiskey Valley, I love the Southern Highlands of NSW and loved all the eating and drinking that was being done while a murder was being solved! Definitely my way to investigate crime!! It was a real treat to get to chat with Joan Sauers, and I could have kept going all day...I did take lots of our chitchat out, but you had better believe I left in the part where Dave gets to be the bagpiper in the movie/ TV series..that *may* be something Joan needs to be reminded of..hahah he clearly has the gig....
