The new paperback edition of The Concubine's Child shelved under Malaysian literature in Kinokuniya bookstore Kuala Lumpur. So pleased that the book has been received well in the country where it is set. Still selling. 😊 #theconcubineschild #kinokuniya #malaysianreaders #malaysia #aussiewriters #bookstagram #bookstores #igbooks #bookworm #bibliophile #asianstories #asianliterature #books #bookish #bookstack
This is a big TBR pile for me. I am usually quite efficient in my fiction acquisitions, unlike my nonfiction stack which is always a tottering tower, mainly for research purposes. So here we have: * Girls Burn Brighter, which I wanted to read last year and finally picked up at local secondhand bookstore last week * Love in No Man's Land, my first taste of a novel by a Tibetan author * Where Hummingbirds Dance was recommended by a friend from my bookclub as a light fun read. * The Life To Come won Australia's 2018 Miles Franklin Award. * Last year I read my first Shirley Jackson novel and loved it, so I can't wait to read The Haunting of Hill House. * Frances Burney was a precursor to Jane Austen, writing about women's domestic and social concerns at the end of the 18th century. I have wanted to read one of her novels for ages. Camilla is so long that I might take my time. #tbr #bookstack #bookishlove #bookish #igbooks #aussiereaders #asianliterature #classicliterature #bookstagram #bookworm #bibliophile #tbrpile #books

A spot of reading while my ancient friend sniffs every blade of grass in the park. I'm only 100 pages into this lengthy novel and enjoying Morton's always elegant prose and storytelling. This is not a book to be taken lightly (too heavy on the wrists for one thing) but dedicated reading will no doubt deliver rewards. In the present day, archivist Elodie discovers a mysterious satchel, with clues to a mysterious house and an intriguing love affair from the past. Which sets the scene for a novel covering many timeframes and multiple points of view. Hence attention is needed. If you've read it, what did you think? #theclockmakersdaughter #katemorton #nowreading #currentlyreading #historicalfiction #igbooks #bookstagram #reading #bookworm #bookish #bookishlove #bibliophile #aussiewriters #aussiereaders #writersbestfriend #dogslife
I picked up this stunning novel at my local bookstore on the weekend. Set in Tibet, it's the story of seven-year-old Gongzha, whose family live a traditional life of herding and hunting. But when the Chinese Red Guards begin raiding Tibetan monasteries in 1967, Gongzha helps hide temple treasures, an act which will change his life forever. This is the first novel I have seen by a Tibetan author and I can't wait to dive in! What have you read recently that is set somewhere far from home? #toberead #newbook #bookstagram #literature #books #igbooks #bibliophile #bookworm #nowreading #asianfiction #loveinnomansland #tibet #tibetanstories
