Kate Constable's Blog: Not My Cup of Tea
http://kateconstable.blogspot.com/2015/08/not-my-cup-of-tea.html
Tips For Young Writers. Not My Cup of Tea. Over the years, my various book groups and the members thereof have introduced me to many wonderful titles that I might not have come across otherwise. Unfortunately, the flip side of this phenomenon is the unpleasant duty of occasionally being forced to read books that you don't enjoy at all. The other book we'd chosen for our Slavery theme was Alexa Moses' Slave Girl. But now I've slogged through them both, I'm free to read whatever I feel like! Bean there, re...

Kate Constable's Blog: The Players and the Rebels
http://kateconstable.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-players-and-rebels.html
Tips For Young Writers. The Players and the Rebels. Yes, Antonia Forest AGAIN! I bought this modern reissue, from the excellent Girls Gone By. At considerable expense, as a Christmas present for myself. The Players and the Rebels. The Players and the Rebels. Is excellent historical fiction, subtle, intelligent and satisfying. I think I got more out of it as an adult, even though it was written for children. Now I really need to get hold of The Player's Boy. And fill myself in with what happened first!

Kate Constable's Blog: Parallel Reading
http://kateconstable.blogspot.com/2015/07/parallel-reading.html
Tips For Young Writers. Generally speaking, I am a one-at-a-time kind of reader (hence why I can have a neat list of What I'm Currently Reading on this blog, and tick the books off one by one). But at the moment, I am making an exception, and reading two books at the same time! This began as a coping strategy, because I was frankly intimidated. The Luminaries. Is a very fat book - over 700 pages. Far From the Madding Crowd. Has been sitting next to my bed (at the bottom of the pile, natch! THE READY-MADE...

Kate Constable's Blog: Ash Road
http://kateconstable.blogspot.com/2015/06/ash-road.html
Tips For Young Writers. I bought Ash Road. On the Kindle, too! I thought it would be pretty easy to pick up second-hand, but it never seemed to be on the shelf in any of the stores I checked, and even Brotherhood Books only had a hardback fancy copy for $35. So Kindle it was…. Our topic for the Convent book group this month is Fire, and Ivan Southall's classic Ash Road. And reassures her, They'll find Grandpa, then they'll find you. Of course he means, the searchers will find his body first. Southall's e...

Kate Constable's Blog: Parallel Reading: Update
http://kateconstable.blogspot.com/2015/07/parallel-reading-update.html
Tips For Young Writers. So… the book race. How's it coming along? Well, after a slow start, Eleanor Catton is well out in front, with about fifty percent read. The first chapter takes up about half the book, weaving the twelve strands of story from different viewpoints into the central mystery (which I'm hoping will be resolved in the second half…) And now I've finally got a handle on what's actually going on, I am gripped.

Tips For Young Writers. Tips For Young Writers. November 23, 2012 at 1:18 PM. I LOVE YOUR BOOK KATE! From your big fan from australia! April 27, 2013 at 9:49 AM. I finally found The Singer of All Songs again! It got me into YA fiction when I was 12 or so. =) I now write YA fiction myself and am sending out to publishers. For the fifth time, haha. It made me so excited to find it. I get to read it again! May 2, 2013 at 10:25 AM. May 2, 2013 at 10:34 AM. Are you looking for The Taste of Lightning, Anon?
