This book felt like a dream - sometimes magical, sometimes feverish, even descending into a nightmare.

The Old Kingdom Series by Garth Nix

August 26, 2020September 19, 2020 ~ fabwrites ~ Leave a comment

I bought my copy of Sabriel in 2017 - over 20 years after it was first published. As an Australian reader, I am disappointed in myself, and my school library. Apologies to Garth Nix for my school's disrespect. But I can't blame my school for the fact that I didn't read it until two years … Continue reading The Old Kingdom Series by Garth Nix

August 10, 2020September 19, 2020 ~ fabwrites ~ Leave a comment

With all that's been happening in the world, and all the heavy books and articles I've been reading, and the news programs blasting a new crisis every hour, I really felt like I need something light to calm my soul. This book sounded like just the thing.

Book Review: Tell Me Why by Archie Roach
