Decided to give my @flowhive a makeover 😄🐝🐝🐝

Canberra: the kind of place where people keep pens of quails on the nature strip

Just finished this heartwarming and heartbreaking novel from @rainbowrowell. Carefully crafted characters crackle with complexity from the first page to the last.
YA fans, what are you reading now?

'Ask good questions in a sensible order.' Thank you @angsavage for your expert insights on chairing panels at last night's Inside the Industry class @RMIT_PWE. Fellow students, what was a takeaway for you?

[Martina Hoffmann @indeliblehuman]

'I am very economical and I like to be concise. I don’t like to ramble. I will never write a novel as there are far too many words.' @thuy_on tells our @RMIT_PWE class why poetry is her chosen form. Can't wait to get a copy of Decadence. 😍

Just finished #HeartbreakHigh on @netflix. Final episode was basically a thriller, and resolved the mystery woven through the whole season. Acting and costume department were 💯👌 and the writing was decent too.

Leaping from (or into?) the precipice with @KathrynHeyman, Diana Reid and @hammerNow. @NicoleAbadee expertly navigated this panel through an interesting discussion of characters on the brink, class and shame -- common themes across their three books. @cbrwritersfest

[Martina Hoffmann @indeliblehuman]

Two thumbs up for @V8Sheppard's new book, The Brink👍👍 A gritty mystery exploring sexuality and masculinity, set against the backdrop of schoolies ... can't wait to read this! #litnightout with @camainwrites @CanberraMuse

[The Saturday Paper @SatPaper]

First and foremost @AnnaSnoekstra's 'Out of Breath' is an absorbing and entertaining read. There’s a sinister edge to almost every scene, and the feeling of a constantly simmering mystery makes it a difficult book to put down. | @ElizabethFlux. https://t.co/P6UwbqnvDD
