G'day, I'm an Australian Cannonballer! I'm a horror/thriller junkie embarking on my fourth Half-Cannonball. I'm a bit shy at commenting, but I absolutely love writing and reading reviews. (Learn more about this Cannonballer: Caesar’s Wife's Quick Questions interview.)

Similes and Metaphors and Adjectives, Oh My!

The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle

November 3, 2022 by Caesar's Wife Leave a Comment

The Last Unicorn was one of my favourite movies as a child – mystical and scary. It tells the story of the last unicorn and her quest to discover what has happened to her kind. I had never read the book, but came across it while looking for bedtime novels to read to my son. As it turns out, the movie was a very faithful adaptation of the novel, with just enough extra details to make me feel like I was getting more story. In […]

Tell me a love story

Love Stories by Trent Dalton

October 25, 2022 by Caesar's Wife 2 Comments

Trent Dalton is a local legend in Brisbane, an award winning and renowned author who has brought great acclaim to our little Aussie city. During the pandemic, Dalton decided to pen his next novel. But it’s not a story of fiction or auto-biographical, like his previous work. This time, he collected and shared the love stories of others. He set up a typewriter and a card table in the CBD of Brisbane and started collecting stories. He spoke to people of all creeds, backgrounds, religions… […]

Roughage

The Last Gundir by Nayef Din

October 25, 2022 by Caesar's Wife 1 Comment

It happened when I was sitting in (yet another) Zoom meeting. Public servants all dialled in to another national committee meeting about something-or-other. But this meeting was slightly different. The first 25 minutes of it was taken up by each attendee announcing (frequently poorly) ‘the traditional owners of the lands on which we are meeting’. The Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. The Woiworung people. The Kaura people. Then it was my turn. I dutifully recited the same words I had many times before ‘the […]

Dirty Harvey

Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow

September 8, 2022 by Caesar's Wife Leave a Comment

Going in to this audiobook, I though I knew the whole story about the Harvey Weinstein, but this story is genuinely so much more. The retelling of this story by investigative journalist Ronan Farrow (yes, that Ronan Farrow) and his quest to ‘out’ a predator is… important. It’s not just about his diligence in following up leads, supporting the unheard and diminished voices of victims, and contributing to the start of the #MeToo movement. It’s also about the insidious cover-ups by the media, the hopeless […]

Books of Meh

Books of Blood (vol 1-3) by Clive Barker

September 8, 2022 by Caesar's Wife Leave a Comment

As a Constant Reader of Stephen King, sometimes I get a little worried that there might be a whole world of horror novels out there that I am missing out on, so, I did some research. After digging deep into the r/books subreddit, it seemed apparent to me that I was truly missing out by having not consumed any of Clive Barker’s novels. Of course, I’m familiar with the name and a Pinhead fan (at least in a theatrical sense) so I thought I’d better […]

Chamber Danger

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J. K. Rowling

August 24, 2022 by Caesar's Wife Leave a Comment

As with my review of The Philosopher’s Stone, it seems laughable to publish a review about a Harry Potter book in 2022; yet here we are! My family and I worked through this audio-book on the second half of a road trip, again narrated by the incredible Stephen Fry. My five year old was fairly engaged throughout the story and found Mr Fry’s spooky basilisk voice quite suitably terrifying. The story again followings Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived, through a year of schooling at […]
