Amazing seeing Jack white at the Enmore last night. A quarter of a century into his career and hasn’t lost his edge - very loud, very hardcore.

in the studio with Sophie Gee and the amazing Charlotte Wood talking about Elizabeth Strout's My Name Is Lucy Barton for SLoB. Charlotte talked about her love of Strout's work, how it inspired her brilliant Stone Yard Devotional, and reflected on her Booker experience this year. Thank you Charlotte!

loved going on Arts Tuesday 89.7fm Eastside with Sophie Gee to talk Secret life of Books earlier with wonderful hosts Suzi and Di. I was v distracted by Art Kane's A Great Day in Harlem on the wall - hence eyes in wrong direction. It's a dangerous picture - you can disappear into it for hours!

A view from the crowd. Sophie gee and I going head to head over Shakespeare vs Austen at Sydney university this morning. The most anticipated bout since Paul vs Tyson. Amazed the streamers weren’t interested actually. No clear victor when we went to the polls, except - of course - literature itself

Sophie Gee and I had a ball launching the Secret Life of Books podcast at Gleebooks in Sydney last night. I even wore my fancy suit. Ann Mossop did a beautiful introduction. The Gleebooks team were amazing. Ended the evening in a karaoke booth.
