Hiya, book clubbers! This month, we read You Are Here by British author David Nicholls. The story follows Michael and Marnie as they are thrown together on a long walk through England. Michael is adrift after his wife has just left him, and he has begun taking himself on long, solitary walks across the English countryside. Marnie is lonely, too. She spends her days hiding in her London flat after her marriage fell apart years ago. She is more comfortable at her computer as a copy editor than really anywhere else in the world. At its heart, it's a book about love and loneliness and… walking.

Hello, everyone! On today's episode of The Adaptation, as promised, we are reviewing Bridgerton Season 3, Part 2. At the end of P1, we left off with Pen and Colin finally making the move from friends to lovers. The first half of the season finished with their iconic carriage scene, and Colin proposing to Pen. We all knew the second half of the season would be a complicated one: what would Colin do if he found out Pen was Lady Whistledown? What would Eloise do when she found out her ex-best friend was engaged to her brother? How would every other tiny subplot - of which there were hundreds - tie up amongst these big themes the show needs to cover?  Your hosts today were Zara McDonald (@zamcdonald), Eilish Gilligan (@eilishgilligan) and Anjana Khallouf (@anjanakhallouf).

Pour that into the wet ingredients bowl and stir well. Then, add the dry mix to the wet mix and stir well with a whisk to combine. Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared tins. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 20 minutes before flipping onto a wire rack. Allow to cool completely. Ganache:  To make the ganache, put the chocolate, Baileys and the salt in a large heatproof bowl. In a heavy based saucepan, heat the cream until steaming but not boiling. Then, pour the hot cream over the chocolate and leave to stand for 1 minute. Stir the ganache using a whisk until smooth and glossy. Let the ganache sit for 10 minutes to cool and thicken slightly. Place the cooled cake on a large plate with a lip. Spoon over enough ganache to cover the top. Place the next cake on top. Pour the remaining ganache all over the top of the cake. Use a spoon or a small offset palette knife to guide the ganache over and down the sides of the cake. Put the cake in the fridge for 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the fridge and, using a small offset palette knife or a spoon, scoop up the set ganache from the plate and spread over the sides to create a smooth finish. Enjoy!! #drinkresponsibly

Normal People follows Connell and Marianne - two young people who met in high school and… simply cannot stay away from each other.

Happy Tuesday, book club friends! Our first pick of the year was Tom Lake by Ann Patchett; a meditation on youthful love, married love, and the lives parents have led before their children were born. In the spring of 2020, Lara's three daughters return to the family's orchard in Northern Michigan. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the story of Peter Duke, a famous actor with whom she shared both a stage and a romance years before at a theater company called Tom Lake. As Lara recalls the past, her daughters examine their own lives and relationship with their mother, and are forced to reconsider the world and everything they thought they knew.

Welcome to the first-ever episode of The Adaptation - a monthly review series from The Shameless Book Club. On the 18th of June, 2018, Trent Dalton's debut novel - Boy Swallows Universe - was released into the world. The book came with some serious hype - expectations were high.

We're here to determine if the adaptation does the book justice. Big thanks to the Australian Open for making this episode possible.

Helloooo, book clubbers! This month, we read Green Dot by Australian author Madeleine Grey. In this book, we meet Hera Stephen, a twenty-something who is working as an underpaid comment moderator in an overly air-conditioned newsroom by day and kicking around Sydney with her two best friends by night. While everyone around her seems to have slipped effortlessly into adulthood, Hera is wondering if she's being left behind. Then she meets Arthur, an older, married colleague. Intoxicated by the promise of ordinary happiness he represents, Hera falls headlong into a workplace romance that everyone, including her, knows is doomed to fail.

G'day, book clubbers! This month, we read Good Material by the one and only Dolly Alderton. Good Material tells the story of Andy who has recently split from his long-term partner, Jen. We follow Andy on his painful, self-indulgent journey of heartbreak, as he desperately tries to solve the puzzle of their broken relationship. After all, he figures, if he can find the answer to that, then maybe Jen can find her way back to him. But alas, Good Material is not a love story. It's about the wreckage and the anatomy of a break-up, and why the most powerful ending of all can be the one where you choose… YOURSELF. (Sorry.)

Hello, book clubbers! This month we read None of This is True by Lisa Jewell. Podcaster Alix Summer meets the meek and mysterious Josie Fair on the night of… both of their 45th birthdays. A few days later, they meet again, and Josie convinces Alix that Josie's story is worth telling on her podcast. Alix discovers a number of disturbing facts about Josie's life as her investigation progresses - from meeting Josie's husband when she was 13 and he was 40, to the Fair family's unsettling reputation. And, as Alix grows increasingly suspicious of Josie's version of reality, Josie begins to insert herself into Alix's life, fuelled by her growing obsession. Then, Josie disappears and Alix becomes the centre of her own true crime podcast. Join us in the all the book chat over on our Insta, @theshamelessbookclub, and our TikTok, @theshamelessbookclub.

Hey, book clubbers! This month we read ‘The List' by Yomi Adegoke. Ola is a high-profile journalist at a feminist website who is one month away from marrying Michael, the love of her life. One morning, they both wake up to the same message: ‘Oh my god, have you seen The List?' The List began as a crowdsourced collection of men in the media who had been accused of everything from sexual misconduct to homophobia. Ola would be the first journalist to report on a list like this one, but this time, Michael's name is on it. CW: This episode does mention sexual assault and suicide, and may be triggering to some listeners. If you or someone you know needs help, please call or Lifeline at 13 11 14.

G'day, book clubbers! Today, we are bringing you an interview with domestic thriller novelist, Sally Hepworth. Sally is a NYT bestselling author who has sold over one million books worldwide. She's written eight novels including The Good Sister, The Younger Wife, and The Mother-In-Law - the latter has very excitingly been optioned for a TV show by Amy Poehler. Sally's latest novel, Darling Girls, comes out today, and it follows three women who are drawn back to their past - and the foster mother they ran away from decades ago - after bones are discovered under the farmhouse from their childhood. In this chat, Sally speaks about deciding to transition from HR to writing a book during maternity leave, what inspires Sally to include such a wide spectrum of neurodiverse characters in her books, and what she makes sure to end every chapter with. To grab yourself of copy of Darling Girls, head here. This episode was audio produced by Annabelle Lee. Big thanks to Audible for making this episode possible.
