Six months in @affirmpress and we had the hairiest of breakneck schedules beset by pandemic delays to release this last week: Fearlessly Failing by @yummololaberry, a celebration of fear, failure and what comes after. A holistic guide to overcoming obstacles and finding the bravery needed to overhaul your life from the inside out, from the host of the #fearlesslyfailing podcast - leading Aussie nutritionist and bestselling cookbook author Lola Berry, it’s finally out now at all good bookstores. Lots of signed copies dotted all over Sydney as well after Lola’s mega signing efforts yesterday. Huzzah! On tour with the delightful @anna_downes_writer following the release of her brilliant new thriller, #theshadowhouse. We visited almost 20 Sydney bookstores in two days, with a few pit stops thrown in to celebrate after lockdowns made a proper launch impossible - so very good to be visiting stores again and feeling the excitement about reopening. You’re next, Melbourne. Watch out for Anna’s upcoming events with Christian White, Chris Hammer and Barry Maitland, and do yourself a favour and grab copies of this and #thesafeplace at a bookstore near you #loveyourbookshop @affirmpress Just as Polly Samson’s #atheatrefordeamers transported me to the Greek Islands last lockdown, Rupert Thomson’s #barcelonadreaming has mercifully offered a trip to Spain during these last weeks of a long, long lockdown (over 100 days but we open today, hooray). A quiet book with three interlinking short stories, it features a woman who owns a curio store called Trinket and her Moroccan lover, a drunk who befriends soccer star Ronaldinho, and a translator pining with unrequited love. A dreamy depiction of the city from three very different inhabitants. Take me away #bookstagram #loveyourbookshopday @gertrudeandalice - @ my local book store and cafe buying @brendanbcowell’s #plum, which I’ve been looking forward to reading for ages @catherineishome! Super friendly staff who know their books, all the latest releases and some choice secondhand books too ❤️❤️❤️ Truly a cracker of a read from @affirmpress and thriller writer supreme @anna_downes_writer. Downes is a master at creating creepy suspense in a domestic setting, and you’ll never pick the twists. I loved her first book #thesafeplace but #theshadowhouse is even better. Line it up now for your summer reading ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Happy publication day @kirstie_clements 🎉#whydidibuythat is one of the most astutely-observed books on fashion you’re ever likely to read, and certainly one of the funniest. @laurabrown99 says it best: ‘it’s possible to both love fashion and see through it at the same time… Kirstie Clements is a very wise woman.’ Grab yourselves a copy, and enjoy! 👏👏👏 Sneaky peek - #findyourstrength by Playschool presenter, playwright and yogi @rachaelcoopes, one of the first books I’ll be publishing @affirmpress. Out in January 2022, this is a fun, modern take on the ancient wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and an accessible guide on how to deal with the inevitable challenges of life. Grit, determination, resilience and surrender, all told with Rachael’s trademark wit and candour. This is a little gem to get you through anything 💎 Available for pre-order now from @booktopiabooks This is why publishers never seem to change jobs - because it’s so hard to leave behind books you’ve been working on and planning for ages. When I first joined @murdochbooks @kirstie_clements was on my wish list of dream authors. Several years later and #whydidibuythat, Kirstie’s hilarious collection of observations and thoughts about fashion and ageing is about to hit the shelves. You can pre-order from @booktopiabooks now and I promise you’ll love every word. Fun, irreverent and oh so wise. Just the ticket at the fag end of the year and during tiresome lockdown. Buy it, and let me know what you think. And congratulations Kirstie & Murdoch - it deserves to be a hit 🎉👗👠📖💕 Before, during and after. Still drying off after our spectacular #picnicfail. Today would have been a better bet, @studiono69 @studiono63! #happypicnicday
