Book Seven: THEORY & PRACTICE, Michelle de Kretser
Completely brilliant; a wonderful interrogation into the notion of ‘women’s fiction’ with a healthy dose of Woolf.

BOOK SIX: I WAS ANASTASIA, Ariel Lawhon
I’m always going to be a massive fan of alternative histories, and this really spoke to my teen obsession with the myth of Anastasia Romanov.

BOOK FIVE: WOO WOO, Ella Baxter
I really slept on this doozy; richly dark and visceral, Baxter is a master of writing completely unhinged novels that other writers just don’t quite make work. Very real, very tense, very scary.

Book Three: A VERY SHORT HISTORY OF THE ISRAEL-PALESTINE CONFLICT, Ilan Pappé
This gave me the context needed for current news; will put me in a good place for further reading. A great intro to those who are looking for a concise, linear history.

Book Two: MONKEY GRIP, Helen Garner
Garner’s first published novel still feels as gritty and sharp as the first time I read it.
