    75: Teen Sleuths, Cringe Parents and Dysfunctional Families

    Louise and Virginia dive deep into all thing’s books for Teen Readers, books categorised ‘Young Adult’ but marketed to teenagers.  They discuss the creation of the category, whether publishers should provide some sort of classification system, or content advice as well as four great books and one book that, whilst very gripping,  is surely mis-categorised - to Virginia’s dismay!  As always they finish the conversation with a few other things they’ve been diving into recently.   Books Return to Sender by Lauren Draper Five Survive by Holly Jackson Bear by Kiri Lightfoot What’s Murder Between Friends by Meg Gatland-Veness My Family and Other Suspects by Kate Emery   Other things JournalTok   Television  Three Families – ABC iView   Film Rental Family   Email hello@divinginpodcast.com Instagram @diving_in_podcast Song ‘Diving In’ – Original music and lyrics written and performed by Laura Adeline – https://linktr.ee/llauraadeline Podcast sound production and editing by Andy Maher Graphics by Orla Larkin – create@werkshop.com.au

    74: We’re Back! With a Scoop and a Pile-on

    Louise and Virginia have finally made it back to the Podcast Studio (Virginia’s dining room) after a gap of more than 18 months, and despite having forgotten how to do a podcast they somehow managed to review two new excellent Australian books that both have a journalist as the central character. They also chat about a few of the non-bookish things they’ve been diving into recently.

    72: This Is A Bit Embarrassing… (books we’ve never read)

    Louise and Virginia thought it might be fun to do an episode on books that they feel a bit embarrassed to have never read (until now). There were a lot of books to choose from, but they discuss four in this conversation.      During this chat they also create an Ick Register for authors who use words that give the ick, so that readers can be warned in advance (kind of like a trigger warning, but more basic).     Books   The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro   Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami, translated by Jay Rubin   Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote   Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson       Television Shows   Scrublands - Stan   Boy Swallows Universe – Netflix     Podcasts   The Children of Rutherford County – Serial   The Queen’s Reading Room

    71: The Next Diving In Book Club – Salt River Road by Molly Schmidt

    Louise and Virginia have a great conversation about a lovely Western Australian novel. Salt River Road by the very talented debut author Molly Schmidt captures the large Tetley family at the worst time of their lives. Their wife and mother, Elena, has died after a long illness and left them all devastated. Although the book looks at grief through the eyes of several different characters, it has a forward-moving arc, plenty of heart, and a wonderful ending, with an authentic Western Australian, 1970s feel. Book Salt River Road by Molly Schmidt, 2023, published by Fremantle Press Binge TV Strife Netflix The Crown
