Libby Iriks & Brooke Crawford

For our last episode of Book Matters for the year we have two great interviews for you.

Both are Australian authors, and their books are ideal for Christmas gifts and to take away on your summer holiday.

Courtney speaks with Libby Iriks about her novel "Home to the Heart Country" – a heartfelt small-town romance set in Western Australia exploring themes of belonging, social anxiety and neurodivergence.

Then Janine chats with debut writer Brooke Crawford about her novel "Better than the Real Thing" – where Notting Hill meets Bridget Jones Baby in this whip-smart, funny, emotionally charged contemporary fiction about messy pasts, second chances and future families from a sparkling new voice in fiction.

We would like to take this opportunity from the Book Matters team to wish all our listeners a great festive season, and we look forward to returning next year with a whole new season of Book Matters.
