The City and its Uncertain Walls
Facing the Music
A Language of Limbs

Would you miss your shadow if you had to relinquish it?
Watashi has moved to a small isolated town to work in a library escaping his past –
a past life that included a young love and a mysterious city with high walls you can
only enter, minus your shadow. I loved this surreal and introspective read from Murakami.

As a 90’s pop music superfan, I found it fascinating to read about the former S Club 7 stars personal struggles behind the spotlight. Facing the Music is Hannah’s raw and inspiring journey to fame, filled with heartbreak and eventually finding her voice again.
It’s very honest, emotional and empowering – this is a story you didn’t know you needed.

A Language of Limbs- Dylin Hardcastle One of Australia’s up and coming new authors, Dylin Hardcastle, writes beautifully poetically in A Language of Limbs. Despite centring around some harrowing occurrences (xenophobia and the AIDS crisis), it is so full of love and light and life. This is a book for those who feel things deeply, for those who don’t fit the mould, and those who love life and community.
A Language of Limbs explores two parallel stories (“limbs”) as they try to navigate the tumult that is the late teens/ early twenties in 1980’s Sydney. This expansive book feels like a hot Sydney day and is a great one to add to your TBR list. Added bonus- the audio book is excellent and available on Borrow Box!

'A Study in Drowning' by Ava Reid
Recommended by

Programs Officer
A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid follows Effy Sayre, an architecture student who is selected to redesign the home of her favourite writer after his death. Leaving the comfort of a prestigious university, she travels to Saltney, a town on the verge of collapsing into the ocean below, and full of superstitious townsfolk who fear the night and the sea despite their reliance on both.
As Effy and her academic rival, Preston, begin delving deeper into the house and the life of Emrys Myrddin, she realises Hiraeth Manor isn’t what she expected.
A Study in Drowning is haunting, with themes of gothic fiction, mystery, and dark fairy tale elements, it’s the perfect Winter read.
This book is a combination of Donna Tartt’s ‘The Secret History’, Neil Gaiman’s ‘Coraline’ and Maggie Stiefvater’s ‘The Raven Cycle.’
I recommend pairing it with Madame Grey tea and a slice of hummingbird cake.
