Thanks to Meryl Zegarek and Rachel Hundert for a review copy of Salt Creek, a debut novel by Lucy Treloar, published February 28, 2017 by Picador Australia. This is an historical novel about the Finch family who move from Adelaide, Australia during hard times to a remote part of the South Australian coast. The award-winning book covers "colonialism, race relations, social expectations on women, love, family, and duty."

I have been giving dozens of my books to charity and a box of them to my neighbor! I am trying to downsize without feeling as if I am giving away my most cherished possessions.
The weather is wonderful today, but we are prepping for four days of storms next week!
