Each week on Mamamia OutLoud we’d give our recommendations of what we had watched/read or listened to that week. But you told us you wanted more. So we came up with three bonus episodes that would give you just that.
When it comes to wanting something decent to read, there are a lot of options.
Magazines. Books. Essays. Long reads. Short stories. Blogs. Poetry, if you’re so inclined. You name it, it’s out there.
But, it can be pretty overwhelming. Do you choose non fiction? Fiction? Staff picks? Can you trust best-sellers? Who CAN you trust for a recommendation?
Enter the Mamamia OutLoud team. Mia Freedman, Monique Bowley and Jamila Rizvi are sharing the best things they’ve read this year, both old and new.
Let’s get started….
Non Fiction – Reckoning by Magda Szubanski
Released in September this year, Magda’s memoir tells the story of her life, intertwined with her father’s experiences as a German resistance fighter in World War Two.
Mia Freedman says: “Most celebrities don’t write memoirs themselves. But Magda was adamant that she wanted to write it. And oh my God, she can write. Forget the twists and turns of her relationship with her father and the fact she came out as a lesbian at 51. The woman can write.”
Long Form Read- Fatal Distraction by Gene Weingarten
Fatal Distraction is a long form investigative piece that was written and published in The Washington Post in 2009, about parents forgetting their young children in hot cars. It won a Pulitzer Prize in 2010.
