Black Dogs Motorcycle Club: Full Series


Sienna Valentine - 2016
    It was the only real family I’ve ever known. Her asking me to leave was bullshit, but then disappearing without even saying goodbye was so much worse. I was done with Maggie then. I never wanted to see her face again. Five years. Five years of anger, pain and regret. Five years to move on and forget. And five seconds to get sucked back in. MAGGIE I have no right coming back here. No right asking for help. Not after the way I left everything - the way I left Jase. But what choice do I have? I’m dead if I don’t. I’ve made so many bad choices in my life. Caused so much pain. Maybe I deserve what’s coming to me. What right do I have putting Jase, my father, and the whole MC in danger just to help me? The MC is Jase’s sanctum, and I may not deserve it, but I’m praying that it can now become mine. Book 2: Retribution Will I was a different man two years ago. I was soft, too easy-going. Look where that got me. Death and destruction, and all of it my fault. I wasn’t going to let that happen again. Now all I wanted to do was fight, drink and fuck. I couldn’t imagine that anything short of retribution for the past could make me want to turn back into the man I was before. I certainly never imagined someone like Eva… Eva When my brother and I moved to this small little town to take over my Uncle’s bar, I thought that it was just going to be like a little mini vacation from our lives. What I didn’t expect was to be threatened almost as soon as we got there. And I certainly didn’t expect protection from that threat to come from a man like Will Bowers. Dark, violent and completely gorgeous. He’s the complete opposite of the type of guy I’m usually attracted to, but then again, I’ve never met a man like him before. My instinct tells me to stay far away, but at the same time, I can’t ignore the feeling that there is more to him than his rough exterior. I see something behind all of that pain in his eyes. Something that draws me forward. Besides, my friend Laura is always telling me that I spend too much time with my head buried in my books, and that I need to actually lift it up and live a little. Maybe she’s right, but I don’t think this is what she had in mind. Book 3: Vindication From what I can tell, Ghost is one of the most ruthless members of the Black Dogs MC. He seems to take a certain pleasure in violence and mayhem, and he has a wit that is just as sharp as any of the blades he carries. He’s also about as arrogant and infuriating as any man I’ve ever met, and has women fawning all over him wherever he goes. But for some reason, he seems to think that I’m his soulmate. He calls me his Valkyrie, and he shows up, unbidden, at the most inopportune times. Like when I’m trying to teach my class full of private school kids.

All The Things She Said: Everything I Know About Modern Lesbian and Bi Culture


Daisy Jones - 2021
    Lesbian and bi culture is ever-changing and here, journalist Daisy Jones unpicks outdated stereotypes and shows how, over the past few years, the style and shared language of queer women has slowly infiltrated the mainstream. (Think less hemp sandals, IKEA trips and nut milks and more freedom, expression, community. And Cate Blanchett.)From the dingy basement clubs of east London to the unchartered realms of TikTok, cutting in DIY mullets and christening Meryl Streep 'Daddy', Daisy explores the multifaceted nature of what it means to be lesbian or bi today, while also looking back and celebrating the past.The book shines a light on the never-ending process of coming out, what it's like to date as a queer woman, how physical nightlife spaces have evolved into online communities and the reasons why mental health issues have disproportionately impacted LGBTQ+ people.As someone immersed in the queer culture of women, Daisy brings both the personal perspective and a journalistic one to this changing landscape. Through interviews and lived experience, a cohesive image emerges: one which shows that being lesbian, bi, or anything in between, isn't necessarily always tied to gender, sexual practice or even romantic attraction.With verve, humour and razor-sharp prose, Daisy paints a vital and insightful modern day portrait of what it means to be a queer woman in 2021.

The Murder of Sheree


Wayne B. Miller - 1996
    At its heart, it's a powerful and compelling account of how one of the most infamous and shocking murders in Australian history came to happen - and how justice came to be done. But it's also a forensic examination of how the crime would shatter the lives of dozens of people, some of whom had never met six-year-old Sheree Beasley. Wayne Miller's newspaper reporting on the case earned him a Walkley Award for excellence in journalism. With The Murder of Sheree he went much deeper, his enduring relationship with those most deeply affected by the murder revealing just how much devastation such a crime can cause. Miller's writing is as clear, passionate and compelling as ever, and The Murder of Sheree remains one of the finest books of its kind ever published in Australia. Brad Newsome, Fairfax Media
