I've just been introduced to Tim Winton via Cloudstreet, then The Turning. I'm in awe of his writing, his observations, and the magical way he weaves his stories together. Cloudstreet really turned the cogs in my brain, left me thinking through everything for days afterwards. I'm keen to read another, just Junihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03996898530590482672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885942315861596737.post-60611273396140815492014-01-22T19:25:24.218+11:002014-01-22T19:25:24.218+11:00I love Tim Winton's writing but haven't re...I love Tim Winton's writing but haven't read this one yet. Lately I've been doing easy reading, authors like Jacqueline Winspear and Mary Stewart but when I last had the brain space I really enjoyed Lian Hearn's Tales of the Otori series.Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06178734550537562868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885942315861596737.post-70979259413415175742014-01-22T18:40:57.999+11:002014-01-22T18:40:57.999+11:00I am doing the same in reverse order.

I've also been working through the books I have missed from this list, which has pushed me out of my comfort zone. http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/books-magazines/books-to-read-before-you-die/story-fn9412vp-1226682476552<br />rachelmphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235189646730926145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885942315861596737.post-13280480140262356412014-01-22T12:15:41.464+11:002014-01-22T12:15:41.464+11:00I am reading a lot lately and for instance I loved...I am reading a lot lately and for instance I loved Maralinga by Judy Nunn.<br /><br />At just started The Life of Pi, the book that was made into that popular movie (I haven't seen the movie). I am about to put it away, find it totally boring or will it become more thrilling in a couple of pages???<br /><br />But now you made me want to read Eyrie, so I'm of to the library :-)toadstooldotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728167686082146446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885942315861596737.post-15882042869179116082014-01-22T10:34:24.098+11:002014-01-22T10:34:24.098+11:00I loved Eyrie, but them I am a Winton fan and also...I loved Eyrie, but them I am a Winton fan and also a Freo girl. I loved the way he described Freo and walked every step with Tom and Gemma. One of the buggest criticisms about thes book is the abrupt ending, but I like that Winton doesn't deliver it to the reader tied up with a neat bow.

But it would be a plain old world if we all loved the same things. I am actually on my computer (rather than reading blogs on the iPhone) for once and have just seen your brand new blog layout. It looks so fantastic - you have made me want to go and give mine a spring clean. Ellieboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16853552593617129693noreply@blogger.com
