It's hilarious that Stoneyard Devotional is described as being in the "Australian Outback" it's set about an hour's drive away from where I live in Canberra, The Capital City! People commute to work in Canberra from that area! It's a rural setting not the outback. 😆😆😆 If you want to read "outback" or a book set in a more remote setting read Praiseworthy, set in far north Qld only about 23 hours drive away from Canberra.

I read Orbital earlier this year and found it very thought provoking and definitely “life affirming” as you so eloquently put it! Can’t wait to get to Wandering Stars and James keeps popping up in front of my face so I think it’s time to pick it up too

Adding all of these to my 300+ TBR ( 😭😭) I'm currently reading Shark Heart which is a surprising potential 5 star for me. Plot: A newlywed couple must deal with "in sickness and in health" in a new way, when the husband is slowly transforming into a Great White Shark. No, I am not kidding.

I didn't realize Orbital was written by Samantha Harvey! It sounds amazing. I loved her writing and voice in her memoir The Shapeless Unease and have been meaning to get into her fiction, so that's a must read. I usually enjoy a mystery element so Stone Yard Devotional sounds really interesting. And I think Held with its war ghosts might round out my top 3 to read.

I've been wanting to read The Safekeep ever since it came out! I first saw it on Leora Aileen's booktube channel, if I'm remembering it right, Yael van der Wouden was Leora's creative writing teacher!! So that's really cool! Stone Yard Devotional has also been on my list 😊 Love Booker season!!

Great video on the booker price dozen! I listened to James on audiobook - loved it! I still think about it…the “language” James used to hide behind and the freedom to burst out into his “soul identity.” Great story telling and adventure. Want to read Enlightenment, Wandering Stars, Creation Lake, Orbital, Playground…but really, all books sound so good! I can’t wait to hear what book you choose to read first! 📚
