John Lyons was recently chided by a certain US president for asking too many impertinent questions about his family business deals. The only one I have on my TBR is the Clare Wright book.
Oh, was J. Lyons The Australian journalist that annoyed DJT! Here is a list of some great non-fiction….I learned a lot about Australia. Thanks for your comment.
Yes he was. I turned his books face out on the shelf at work again after it made the news and they all sold that week :-)
Well, that’s good news for Mr. Lyons!
What an intriguing list! Off to read your reviews.
Non-fiction is fascinating!
Oh I missed the Walkleys for my recent post, I might have to edit them in.
Really some great non-ficiton from Australia! I try to promote it every year with #AusPoliticalBook of the Year + The Walkley Awards.
Nice looking assortment of books. I don’t read much nonfiction. Happy reading!
Well, when you do read non-fiction I hope you enjoy it!
These are all new to me, and I can’t wait to see what you think of these during Nonfiction November. I am a bit nonfiction reader, and I am looking forward to this event.
Love to read non-fiction especially by a very good investigative journalist! That is Rick Morton in Australia and Joe Aston!
