The Frock Shop #author Sophie Green
4d ago00:06:56Tap to summarizeAuthor Sophie Green returns with a sparkling story about the beauty of the second-hand, the power of second chances, and becoming who you were always meant to be (with a little help from your friends).On Sydney's lower north shore, in the harbourside suburb of Mosman, there is a charity frock shop. For decades, it has clothed the women of this suburb, through good times and bad, for richer, for poorer.Local resident Daphne has always worked at the frock shop. And she knows better than most how clothes are used by women as talismans, as armour, as beauty. Clothes are essential parts of women's stories, and those stories are now part of Daphne's life.Daphne has her own stories, too. Some involve her old friend Adelaide, who still bears the devastating secret that caused her to flee Australia in her youth. Some involve a new friend, Christina, who has been forced to leave her glamorous Los Angeles life to rebuild in her childhood city. Then there is Margot, living a life that is far from what she had dreamed it would be, and Lucy, desperate for escape and the promise of tomorrow.Not only does the frock shop give them purpose, but the clothes will help them become the women they were destined to be, because it is never too late for a transformation.To connect with Sophie .....https://sophiegreenauthor.com/https://www.instagram.com/sophiegreenbookshttps://linktr.ee/sophiegreenbooks

5d ago00:12:06Tap to summarizeGreatness Doesn't Care: How you become the greatest version of YOUFIND YOUR PURPOSE AND CHASE IT WITH EVERYTHING YOU’VE GOT.Greatness isn’t reserved for the privileged or the perfect.

It reminds readers that greatness isn’t about being better than others – it’s about being bolder than your fears. It’s about choosing growth over ease, purpose over popularity, and progress over perfection. You’ll learn that the most potent force inyour life isn’t talent or luck – it’s your decision to keep going when everything tells you to stop.Jason Dunn is an elite, ultra-endurance athlete, having completed more than 14 IRONMAN competitions and multiple ultra marathons.

Mine #author Adam Ouston
6d ago00:09:29Tap to summarizeWhile searching for inspiration for what will be his final work, an unnamed poet and defender of Tasmania's wild places finds himself trapped down an abandoned mine in the island's mountain rainforests. In the darkness he is visited by memories and voices both from his own past as well as the tortured history of the pillaged landscape to which he has devoted his life and work. Lost in a fever dream, in a single sentence that carries the reader effortlessly along, the poet journeys through a kaleidoscope of Tasmanian history, mining lore, hauntology, poetry, rain and rainbow trout, drilling deep into the contemporaneous horrors of the North Mount Lyell disaster and Mawson's expedition becoming trapped in Antarctic pack ice.An unparalleled reading experience, Mine is at once wondrous, terrifying and haunting; a story of environmental vandalism and exploitation as well as a luminous paean to the beauty which persists in a world spinning out of control.Author Adam Ouston’s debut novel Waypoints was listed for the Miles Franklin Literary Award, the ALS Gold Medal, and the Tasmanian Literary Prize for Fiction. This is his second novel, and plans to deliver many more.To connect with Adam ....https://www.instagram.com/adam.ouston/https://transitlounge.com.au/shop/mine
