Shortlisted – 2014 Victorian Premier's Award for Indigenous Writingīruce Pascoe is a Bunurong man born in the Melbourne suburb of Richmond. Shortlisted – History Book Award in the 2014 Queensland Literary Awards Winner – Indigenous Writer's Prize in the 2016 NSW Premier's Literary Awards Winner – Book of the Year in the 2016 NSW Premier's Literary Awards Almost all the evidence in Dark Emu comes from the records and diaries of the Australian explorers, impeccable sources. Gerritsen and Gammage in their latest books support this premise but Pascoe takes this further and challenges the hunter-gatherer tag as a convenient lie. The evidence insists that Aboriginal people right across the continent were using domesticated plants, sowing, harvesting, irrigating, and storing - behaviours inconsistent with the hunter-gatherer tag. Dark Emu puts forward an argument for a reconsideration of the hunter-gatherer tag for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians. ![]() ![]() They sneak the notebook past Babette and ride away.

I’ve now gone from rewatching the movie because I loved the plot to just rewatching it because of the kick-ass soundtrack. That being said, I really hate how much was changed in the movie adaptation, and I can’t understand why because the book was good enough to keep as was. ![]() This book has ruined one of my favourite movies of all time for me. ![]() ![]() ![]() Eric Roth's ("Forrest Gump," "Munich") adaptation jettisons the background of Oskar's grandparents in which Foer employed the Fire Bombing of Dresden as a parallel human tragedy to 9/11. Daldry, however, directs this material in a way that emphasizes the book's contrivances and tries to employ show-offy flourishes in the worst possible way - one should not be hearing the director's voice in one's head as one watches Horn collapse on screen in tandem with the World Trade Center tower crumbling on a television beside him. Jonathan Safran Foer's novel received criticism for the whimsy he employed around his hero, Oskar, but I enjoyed the book's imaginative point of view. After 'The Worst Day' which takes Oskar's dad away, the child finds a key hidden in his father's closet and makes it his mission to find its meaning in "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close." Director Stephen Daldry ("The Hours," "The Reader"), who has been nominated for an Oscar for each of the first three films he's directed doesn't look to be as lucky here. ![]() Still, his intelligence is continually challenged by his jeweler father, Thomas (Tom Hanks), who engages the boy with word games, fantastical tales of a sixth borough and recon expeditions. He was tested for autism, but the results were inconclusive. Oskar Schell (Junior Jeopardy contestant Thomas Horn) is an only child living in Manhattan. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is one of those books you’ll want to imagine in vibrant color and intricate detail. The atmosphere of the book, the beautiful island and the haunting old house with all its charms, and even the town with its eclectic mix of humans, is utterly captivating. It’s full of the most delightful characters, each of which is unique and lovely in their own way. To say this book is a breath of fresh air would be putting it mildly. And he might just find precisely what he didn’t know he was looking for in the first place. ![]() When Linus is sent to evaluate an orphanage on a remote island where the most dangerous children are being kept, he is thrust into a world of secrets and enchantments that will change his life in a number of ways. He lives alone with a cat who begrudgingly tolerates him in exchange for periodic sustenance, hates his job as a case worker for the Department in Charge of Magical Youth which he is, unfortunately, very good at, and derives pleasure only from his collection of old records. Linus Baker is quite bored, even if he doesn’t quite realize it. It’s quirky, a little weird, and wildly original. The House in the Cerulean Sea is one of those books you don’t realize you need until you pick it up and find yourself smiling despite yourself. ![]() While I maybe didn’t have the best luck with life in 2022, I did have some good luck with books. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Biographer Mikhail Ivanov writes, "As a result, the young Turgenev developed an active hatred of oppression in general and serfdom in particular." One of his biographers notes that his mother epitomized the rise of aristocratic Russians over the Serfs they ruled and often despised. His family was wealthy and aristocratic, which may explain his turn toward a more liberal outlook in his later life. Ivan Turgenev was born in October 1818 in the Russian town of Oryol. While the novel may be fanciful at times, it is an excellent look into a country on the brink of revolution, and the people who agreed, disagreed, and so passionately believed in the importance of change and adaptability - even if it meant revolution. ![]() It is an accurate look at families of the 1860s in Russia and the turmoil the country faced on the brink of social and radical change. However, as time passes, more critics agree, Fathers and Sons is a fascinating glimpse into an unsettling and cataclysmic time in Russia's past. Some find it in the ilk of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, while others found his novel fanciful - not a decisive look into Russian history at all. This novel has consistently divided critics, who cannot agree in their analysis of this epic Russian work by novelist Ivan Turgenev. Specifically it will discuss what the reader can learn about Russia's past by reading this novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() To see the complete list of this book's read-alikes, you need to be a member.

In an Ireland doubly ravaged by war and disease, Nurse Julia Power works at an understaffed hospital in the city center, where expectant mothers who have come down with the terrible new Flu are quarantined together. ![]() ![]() ![]() The book’s title, The Only Woman in the Room, is a thematic reference to Hedy’s stage presence as well as her position as the sole female in her husband’s political and business meetings, and the military office that ultimately declined her invention and encouraged her to help the war effort by raising money with her celebrity status. The Austrian political and social upheaval details are intriguing and give a necessary foundation to Hedy’s eventual pathway to her scientific endeavors, one of which was patented and later used when technology improved. The story should appeal to those interested in WWII fiction, however the real focal point of the book is Hedy’s personal journey as a woman striving to reveal her talents and pursuits rather than being defined by her pretty face. ![]() ![]() Mostly, it covers her exit from the Austrian theater and a volatile marriage with her first husband, Fredrich Mandl. Although it is not greatly detailed on Hedy’s life as a Hollywood actress or as a budding scientist, these two roles are touched upon in the rushed second half of the novel. Today being Hedy Lamarr’s birthday, it seems an appropriate time to publish this review! The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict was the pick for my book club last month and I found it a quick and enjoyable read. ![]() ![]() As a general, Napoleon led the French army to success in Italy in the 1790s, building his reputation as a skillful military leader.
