A cuppa with Meredith: 💥💥💥NEWSFLASH 💥💥💥
Well hello ,
Â
I know right? You’re thinking, I’ve just had a Cuppa with Meredith and here she is sending me this random email out of the blue. Never fear, I’m not disrupting the status quo on a whim.
Â
The thing is, The Dressmakers of Yarrandarrah Prison has made it to the shortlist for Booktopia’s 2021 Favourite Australian Book Award. Extraordinary! This is how it works. The Booktopia crew go through all the Australian books published in 2021 and collate a shortlist. Then voting is open to the reading public (us!) to choose their personal Top 10 Australian reads from this list. Since I’ve already voted, let me tell you, there are some terrific books on this list!
