Adding Helen Garner’s The Spare Room to my TBR after watching this fabulous review by @myreadingdays & @shawnmooney 🙌🏻 https://t.co/XDh7I6dzU9

Finished this incredible memoir last week. If you grew up in/live in/are Australian, it is essential that you read this. Not sure why it took me so long to pick up to be honest. Incredibly powerful, painfully truthful memoir about growing up black in white middle class Australia.

Congrats to Maria Turmarkin for winning the Best Writing Award 2018 in the @MelbournePrize for Axiomatic. This is on our ‘must read before the year is our’ list, which may end up taking place during #NonFictionNovember if all goes to plan. Picture from @brow_books.
