Before we get into the topic of today’s episode, I want to acknowledge that we’ve seen some very sad, upsetting, and challenging events recently, both in Australia and globally. I found I just couldn’t continue with the podcast when the world is in such a dark place, so I went on an unexpected hiatus for a month. This week, I offer The Community Library as a space of connection and warmth. This is not what everyone needs, but it's what I can offer at the moment. This episode is a bunch of overly specific book recommendations: I asked my Instagram followers what sort of books they’re looking to read, and I’ve got some suggestions. I hope you enjoy.
READ: Stuck Up and Stupid written by me and my mum Kate Rice, it's out now in bookstores across Australia and New Zealand
