And then, some things don’t change enough.’ ‘Some things don’t ever change, thought Kerry. Gritty and darkly hilarious, Too Much Lip offers redemption andforgiveness where none seems possible. And the unexpected arrival on the scene of a good-looking dugai fella intent on loving her up only adds more trouble – but then trouble is Kerry’s middle name. Old family wounds open as the Salters fight to stop the development of their beloved river. She quickly discovers, though, that Bundjalung country has a funny way of grabbing on to people. Kerry plans to spend twenty-four hours, tops, over the border. But now her Pop is dying and she’s an inch away from the lockup, so she heads south on a stolen Harley. Wise-cracking Kerry Salter has spent a lifetime avoiding two things – her hometown and prison. The avalanche of bullshit in the world would drown her if she let it the least she could do was raise her voice in anger. And the older she got, the harder it seemed to get to swallow her opinions. Too much lip, her old problem from way back. Do keep an eye out on our respective blog sites for our bonus round entries! To keep things interesting for ourselves and those following along with us, the choice of bingo square to be covered will be entirely down to us, there is no crossover – that is planned anyway! However, as Ashleigh, Theresa and I enjoy similar books, especially books by Australian women writers, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we end up with more than one book double up, as was the case in 2018! We invite you to join us in this fun book related challenge, by linking your bingo card entries in the comments section of this post, tagging us on social media, or by visiting The Book Muse and Theresa Smith Writes. Two of the Book Bingo entries this year will be flexible, so that means it is completely down us as to when we post these entries, to ensure all 30 are ticked off by the end of the year. The Book Bingo 2019 card contains a total of 30 squares, which we will complete over the course of the year, with the aim to complete the whole card by the end of December. Each Saturday, on a fortnightly basis, beginning on Saturday 5 th January 2019, Ashleigh, Theresa and I will complete a book review post, outlining our respective bingo card entries. Book Bingo 2019 is a collaboration challenge I am completing with my favourite bloggers, Theresa Smith Writes and The Book Muse.
