My favourites for the year were from Australian authors.

From the past, George Johnston and his magnificent novels My Brother Jack and its equally superb Clean Straw For Nothing.

Contemporary author Richard Flanagan was a read three times, with each book a pleasure beyond expectations. All three novels read had a differing theme other than the fact they were set in Tasmania.

Nature writing has never been something I had really thought I would enjoy, but Rogue Intensities by Angela Rockel was a joy.

I came into the possession of Misty Moderns: Australian Tonalists 1915 – 1950 that was produced on behalf of The Art Gallery of South Australia for an exhibition of Tonalist artists held in 2008 with this book produced by exhibition curator Tracey Lock-Weir. Love this coffee table style publication. A pleasure to look at the wonderful art from that period when the mood takes, and a book I will dip in and out of for many years to come.
