We read and reviewed this beautiful novel about grief, loss and forgiveness recently for Better Reading Book Club.

Jesse Blackadder’s Sixty Seconds tells the story of a child drowning in a backyard swimming pool, and the family left behind. As older brother Jarrah, father Finn and mother Brigit make sense of what has happened, we see them question who they are to each other when everything changes. A moving and ultimately hopeful novel with a wonderful coming-of-age story woven through its pages. Four stars.

The new Ann Patchett is breathtakingly beautiful. It’s always a pleasure to talk books with Better Reading but especially when it’s this good. Commonwealth is both funny, familiar and heartbreaking. Watch here for our live Facebook review last night (spoiler alert):

@skynews - live tonight on the #changemakers segment with @jacintatynan @drjoannamcmillan talking health, wealth and positive ageing in #thepowerage. Olive made a valiant effort to stay quiet behind the scenes but bounded up afterwards for pics with our panel. And, that’s a wrap! @murdochbooks #murdochbooks #kellydoust
Shrill was one of my favourite non-fiction reads a few years ago from journalist and fat activist #lindywest. I’ve been waiting for this to come out and it does not disappoint. The introduction, ‘They Let You Do It’, about Trump’s America is chilling, hilarious and so shrewdly observed. West manages to articulate the grey areas that are so destabilising for us all at this point in history. Loving this #thewitchesarecoming #whatimreading #bookstagram
On set with the feisty and fabulous women of @studio10au talking confidence, style, finances and giving something back for the greater good in your power age. Thanks for having me on, ladies - what a buzz #thepowerage @murdochbooks #kellydoust @whatsarahsnapped #denisedrysdale @angelabishop10
