Saturday was a great day for book shopping! It was too wet for the garden, too cold for the beach, and with Mr Riding knocking out a wall in the kitchen, it was far too noisy for snuggling up with a good book. I just had to escape the chaos.
Harry Hartog, QBD, David Jones, Big W, K Mart and I still didn’t manage to find more of the Young Sherlock and Spirit Animals series. I’ll have to place an order for these but I did come home with some new treasures.
Book by David Miles was a stand out. If you ever needed a reminder about why picture books are so special look no further. I can’t wait to share this one with you.
‘… your suddenly in a place that only you can imagine. A place where everything is possible. Where imagination scrapes the skies of opportunity, the forests of what-could-be stretch beyond the horizon, and the friends of fact and fiction make believe all night long under the milky stars of possibility.’
Wow! I wish I had written that.
Did you catch a glimpse of something here that you would like to borrow? Send me a reply and I’ll reserve it for you.
I really want a dreamtime book. Any of them. I just love them so much I can read the same one over and over and over again and again and again plz.
You’re in luck Sophie! Check out the display case in the library foyer next week. It will house a range of brand new Dreaming stories just in time for NAIDOC week. Look out for:
Enora and the Black Crane
The Owl People
The Rainbow Serpent
Land of the Dingo People

Land of the Brolga People

What’s your favourite book Mrs Riding?
That is such a hard question to answer Emily. From my Saturday shopping spree it would have to be Book by David Miles and Nibbles the book monster by Emma Yarlett was a lot of fun.
As for my favourites, three books that I’ve read recently that have resonated with me are Wonder and Augie and me by R. J. Palacio, and Fish in a tree by Linda Mullaly Hunt. I’ve been meaning to blog about these for a while. Thanks for the motivation. I’ll get to it later today so watch this space!
That’s great Mrs Riding seeing you loving so many books and I’ll surely watch this space!!
