This refers to culture with a small 'c', that is, the culture of our everyday lives, for example, our social customs, the way we spend our free time and the food we eat. It also refers to children's culture as in traditional stories, rhymes and games (as, for example, described in Opie & Opie, 1967). This often transcends national or linguistic boundaries and has specific realizations following similar fundamental patterns in different cultures.

I really like Liane Moriarty. The ex-advertising copywriter delivers Sydney based tales featuring gritty women who have loud, forthright conversations and live complex, secret ridden lives. I’ve heard her output described as chic lit, but but this feels like a diminishment of what are uniformly snappy, funny and often hard hitting stories. My advice is grab one and judge for yourselves – if you’re not already a convert, that is.

A huge thank you to Karen Kay and her team, the band’s and all the other entertainment for yet another blooming awesome festival. I only wish I didn’t have to wait a year for the next one and to see you all again.” ~ Emma, via Facebook Everything I love about Moriarty is evident in this novel, the almost whimsical quality of the story, the dark undertones, and loads of emotions and family drama, but alas, this one fell a little flat for me.The sleep thing is a good idea, but I’m also very partial to wishing for teleportation. What if I could look at a picture or think of any place I’ve been and just appear there? Better yet, what if I could teleport other people and objects with me? I’m talking no more driving, no more airplanes, no more moving crews to rearrange my furniture. No more buying gas EVER. Moving people and things around is such a complicated part of life, and I would gladly wish for this chore to disappear.
