This was pretty great. The stories are told in a highly accessible, easily digestible and occasionally humorous way. I'm not suuuper into games and I didn't know all the ones that were covered, but I enjoyed the ride.

Maaate. I picked this up on a whim and finished it in a weekend, felt a bunch of feelings, and now I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. It's a great read, beautifully written, and a fresh kind of queer bogan representation you don't exactly see a lot of. I really loved it.

This was harrowing. Quite a dark tale, but told with humour and care. One part murder mystery, one part ghost story, quite a few parts the legacy of colonialism, racism, power and corruption, with a sprinkle of this newfangled invention the "mobile telephone". It's set in the '90s after all.

It was beautifully written, and easily the most annotations I've taken while reading (all of which disappeared when I returned it to the library). I just think this is a very cool book.

What a train wreck in the best way. I enjoyed seeing the dual timelines, almost like diary entries from Eve and Nell's lives, slowly converging to the devastating and inevitable conclusion, foreshadowed throughout. This is an emotional book, a bit of a rollercoaster, but I think it works well if you're into the lesbian coming-of-age relationship/coparenting tragedy genre.

Had an interesting premise at the start but it ran out of steam after the first few chapters and became insufferably repetitive.
