    3.2 Good Vibes Only: 3 Positive Book Reviews

    Welcome back to The Community Library! It’s been a rough week for Melbourne (where I live), so this week, I’ve been thinking a lot about things that make me happy. I’ve been baking, knitting, and watching lots of Masterchef. So, in the spirit of staying positive, today I’m going to review three books I recently read and loved: Black Girl Unlimited by Echo Brown, The Children’s Book by A. S. Byatt, and Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I hope you enjoy! The book club pick for this month is Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo, and we will be discussing this on the podcast on the 26th of July – exactly two weeks away! Please read along with us so you can join in on the discussion!

    1.18 Straight Up Rebellion in A Room of One's Own with Maija

    Welcome back to The Community Library! This week I sat down with Maija (who you might remember from episode 3) to chat about one of our favourite pieces of feminist literature, A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf. We asked ourselves what is required to create art, what would happen if Shakespeare had a sister, and we came to the conclusion that Virginia Woolf is a bad b*tch. I hope you enjoy! The next discussion pick is Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.

    6.20 Future and Freedom in the 1970s

    Last year, I embarked on a challenge to read a book published in every single year of the 20th Century. When I catalogued all the books from the 20th Century I’d already read, I found the 1970s to be the decade from which I had read the least. In this episode, I take you through my journey of reading books published in 1970, 1973, 1974, 1976 and 1978. For more links and resources, visit my website www.angourieslibrary.com Books I read to complete the challenge: 1978: Tirra Lirra by the River by Jessica Anderson 1974: Oreo by Fran Ross 1973: Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown 1976: Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy 1970: Are You There God?
