Story
Fasting is one of the most powerful ways to not only lose weight but also to give the body the much-needed break it craves–like a reset button for revitalization. However, women require a specific and gradual approach to fasting to avoid hormonal fluctuations that can be counter-effective to their fasting efforts.

Story
Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true.

I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out...and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late. But I reassure myself: The Winchesters don’t know who I really am. They don’t know what I’m capable of....

Story
'I need a wife'. It's a common joke among women juggling work and family, but it's no joke. Having a spouse who takes care of things at home is a godsend on the domestic front and an asset on the work front and is an advantage enjoyed by vastly more men than women. Full of candid and funny stories from politics and the media, The Wife Drought shares intriguing research about the attitudes pulsing beneath the surface of egalitarian Australia.

Story
Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction." She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail.

Story
Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water is set in Kerala, on South India’s Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala’s long-existing Christian community, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
INCLUDES AN EXCLUSIVE AUTHOR INTERVIEW WITH PANDORA SYKES
Your ability to change everything - including yourself - starts here
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing.
But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take a very unscientific view of equality. Forced to resign, she reluctantly signs on as the host of a cooking show, Supper at Six. But her revolutionary approach to cooking, fuelled by scientific and rational commentary, grabs the attention of a nation.
Soon, a legion of overlooked housewives find themselves daring to change the status quo. One molecule at a time.

An exceptional book
Bonnie Garmus has written a book that has changed how I look at the world and it makes me want to be better. I would love to read more about Elizabeth Zott, her family, friends and the adorable 630. Thank you for this wonderful book. And the narrator, Miranda Raison brought the story to life - thank you for your interpretation. I am heading out to buy it for my daughter.

Interesting, riveting, strong
A wonderful story of a strong woman in a time that was not ready for someone with beauty and brains.

Quirky, engaging characters
A reminder of the struggles of our mothers and grandmothers. Tightly written, whimsical at times and beautifully narrated.

Why feminism?
This book reminds you of how bad things for women and why things had to change, both for men and women. I was a child watching my female relatives fight the system at that time and then myself in the 80’s trying to be an engineer. It made my angry, sad and happy. Great book.

Fantastic! I loved everything about it!
I will be re-listening to this soon. There is so much in it - humour, sorrow, frustration, anger, love... I couldn't stop listening.

What An Unexpected Gem
I heard about this on the ABC Bookclub page that I follow on Facebook and the comments were enough to tempt me. So glad that I gave into temptation.
Made me laugh and gasp. Dealt with serious issues like embedded misogyny and explored Science vs Religion, but not with a sledge hammer. Balanced and engaging.
Loved the use of multiple voices.
Elements of the plot were deliberately contrived but deliciously so.
Not surprised to hear in the author’s interview at the end that it’s already been translated into over thirty languages.
One of my favourite reads of the year. Up there with Sarah Winman’s Still Life

The glass ceiling
Elizabeth Zott is unapologetically intelligent, driven and confident. Not fashionable attributes for the 60s. Her experiences and achievements endear the reader. Again, a book that empowers the reader to think and learn. My favourite type.

Fabulous read
Interesting, engaging, fascinating story beautifully written. The characters are believable and brought to life cleverly. The story captures the frustrations, indignities and unfair treatment of women at that time. A fantastic story that captured my interest early and kept it to the last page. I eagerly await a new story from this author.
