Please sign if you're in Victoria and care about about Creative Victoria’s brutal funding cuts to the literary sector. I met my writers' group through a course with Writers' Vic, and they've now had their funding cut completely.

2025 bookish highlights, just in case anyone's looking for some recommendations. Categories this year are:
- High fantasy (rediscovered my love of that last year)
- Romance
- Pride & Prejudice retellings
- Aussie authors
- Comfort re-reads (this has the most)

Attempt 1 to address my TBR pile: I had a friend choose 12 books from the shelf and wrap them up for me. I get a book present every month 🎁📚
A pile of books wrapped in brown paper and labelled on the spine, one for each month of the year (January, February, March etc)

In light of the fuss around Heated Rivalry, did you know we have some terrific Aussie gay sportsball romances? And both of these are set in Melbourne:

Love and Other Scores by Abra Pressler: tennis!
After the Siren by @darcygreenwrites.bsky.social: aussie rules!
Two illustrated book covers. The first (Love and Other Scores by Abra Pressler) is blue and orange and has a tennis player and a waiter, and the second (After the Siren by Darcy Green) is green and has two footy players in uniform with their back to us, their hands not quite touching.
