79 Glebe Point Rd 79 Glebe Point Road, Glebe, Australia, 2037

Hello Bibliophiles,We are reading and chatting about Ceredwin Dovey's Only the Astronauts 7pm Thursday July 17 at Cafe Otto 79 Glebe Point Road Glebe. She was a local standout at this year's Sydney Writer's Festival. And has a different take on the art of story telling compared to most contemporary Australian authors.

What we use, associations, etc. For example I used to like using the Australian $20 dollar note because its distinct colour stood out. But after a decade of losing a few to books I am back to tourist bookmarks for the exotic art of reading.
Apologie…

Together they watch their silent blue planet, circling it sixteen times, spinning past continents and cycling through seasons, taking in glaciers and deserts, the peaks of mountains and the swells of oceans. Endless shows of spectacular beauty witnessed in a single day. Yet although separated from the world they cannot escape its constant pull. News reaches …
