1 June, 2008 If you like reading cricket books, then you’ll love Glenn McGrath: Line and Strength. Ideal for a young cricketer who is looking to move up the grades, this book explains how a very shy Glenn McGrath lived in a caravan for many months when he moved to Sydney. 
1 June, 2008 The Invisible Road, by acclaimed New Zealand author Elizabeth Knox (The Vintner’s Luck), is apparently aimed at the adult market, however has strong crossover potential to the young adult market. 
1 June, 2008 Katie Horgan is a hard-working Sydney lawyer on the cusp of becoming a partner in her prestigious law firm. 
1 June, 2008 Murder, deceit and corruption might seem to be more at home on the gangland streets of Melbourne than at the Queensland Cat Protection Society. 
1 June, 2008 The third thriller by David Rollins featuring his motormouthed sleuth Vin Cooper will definitely appeal to readers of high-tech, military-oriented murder dramas. 
1 June, 2008 Rachel Power’s The Divided Heart is a collection of interviews, in dialogue, with Australian artists who are also mothers. 
1 June, 2008 This is the second novel by the Queensland author of The Shifting Fog. 
1 June, 2008 Cancer biographies are coming out thick and fast this year and Dear Eddie is another of these. Danny Russell (previously a journalist) has written this one a little differently though. 
1 June, 2008 Dissection is a skillfully written piece of work that charts the despair of a woman, a doctor, who begins to question her ability to function both professionally and personally. 
1 June, 2008 Jim Sharman relays the story of his life rhythmically, like a play or film. 
1 June, 2008 The cover will tell you that this is the fourth volume of the ‘Dreaming in Amber’ series. 
1 June, 2008 Anyone familiar with the song 'Click go the Shears' will be aware of the role of shearers as a significant part of our national identity. 
1 June, 2008 First-time novelists have expectations thrust upon them, or perhaps they thrust them upon themselves. Kate Cole-Adams may not have as many as some with her debut novel Walking to the Moon, as her day job entails journalism and editing at a major newspaper. 
1 May, 2008 There are few things a genuine book lover enjoys more than enthusing about their favourite books and authors. In this thoughtfully phrased and inspiring volume, former New South Wales Premier and current Dymocks board member Bob Carr is allowed to do just that for over 400 pages. 
1 May, 2008 A great deal of Judith Lucy’s successful stand-up shtick has centred around her crazy family and in particular her parents. 
1 May, 2008 The events that followed the death in custody of Mulrunji in Palm Island in 2004 became one of the more incendiary moments in Queensland politics of the last decade. 
1 May, 2008 Kay Danes, an Australian who was falsely arrested and detained for gem theft in Laos, has told her horrific battle of endurance in her previous book Deliver Us from Evil. 
1 May, 2008 Are Australians a bunch of knee-jerkers? I’m talking about people who have strong opinions on subjects they know nothing about. If you listen to talkback radio (or sit around my family dining table any evening,) then your answer would undoubtedly be yes! 
1 May, 2008 An absorbing read, Art Life Chooks is the story of Annette Hughes and her partner Geoffrey who move from Sydney to a farm in Noosa. Both of them seem to know fairly well what they are getting themselves into. 
1 May, 2008 There’s no doubt in my mind that this memoir is excellent. The prose is literary with a reflective tone, and I enjoyed the fact that this book is not structured with a blow-by-blow commentary of the author’s life. 
1 May, 2008 Do we really need another reporter’s memoir about Afghanistan? Well, yes—if the book in question has something original to offer. ABC Radio journalist Sally Cooper went to Afghanistan not to report on the war, but to train the people 
1 May, 2008 Melbourne-born author Lee Tulloch writes for newspapers and magazines such as the Age, Vogue Living and Australian Women’s Weekly. She has written five previous novels, including Wraith and Perfect Pink.

1 May, 2008 Herself a childhood refugee from WWII Poland, Armstrong is on familiar territory following the author’s earlier explorations of personal identity and the Holocaust. Teenage Elzunia Orlowski reaches womanhood through the deprivations imposed upon her by the Nazi occupation of Warsaw. 
1 May, 2008 Told in alternating chapters by mother Jackie and eldest daughter Claire, The Nearly Happy Family is a confident, though perhaps overly long, debut from Catherine McKinnon. |
