How does it all kind of play out? And, of course, it's very important people register to be part of it as it happens.

Definitely.

So it's online via Zoom.

So anyone can join us via their device or their phone and you can submit questions when you register for Chris about his writing journey or about this particular novel.

Chris is really interesting because he's written a range of different books, including a series of children's books.

And then this one is just a spine chilling horror book that won the best horror novel for 2025.

So that's just been announced.

I mean, there's so much or so many products out there these days that can make accessing information so much easier these days, particularly if you're blind or have low vision, and you're going to be concentrating on this or one of your team or maybe more than one of your team are going to be focusing on this.

Yeah.

So it's about saying, okay, yes, that one's better.

But in reality, it's 10 times the price of this one.

And it's only got a couple of extra features that you probably won't use.

So you're better off with this one.

So it's quite a pragmatic assessment of what's out there.

It is very much looking at... products that suit people in different phases of vision loss as well.

And I was really pleased to learn that.

OK.

Maureen O'Reilly, resident.

I'm totally winging this, but I'm not a crier.

I met Lee probably when we first moved into Ridgefield, and she's just been a quiet supporter of the Arts Association.

Yeah, by the way, I'm president of the Arts Association.

And she worked behind the scenes.

Probably many of you didn't see our Halloween haul around for five years.

Yeah.

So it, it's just exquisite because she paints this really vivid image of the high country and the smells and the sounds and, uh, the brutality of it, but also the beauty of it.

And then you've got this incredible suspenseful, um, crime book as well.

So it was wonderful.

Highly recommended.

And I read that for ...

Well, I always have a reason I read things.

And what else is coming up?

Um, what else is coming up?

Well, as well as that, we also have one of our, uh, library members' favorites, which is our Meet the Vision Australia Librarians.

And this month, in August, we have Marnie Rose Smith joining us, and Marnie's our senior librarian.

So we're gonna have a lovely chat about everything that's new in the catalog.

This is a crowd favorite.

So Marnie will give a review of two new release books.

So she'll talk about the author, uh, their previous works, this current, uh, work, uh, what she liked about it, what she didn't like about it- I'm going to do a review of one book as well, and then all of our library members who are present, assuming they want to, are then get to give a review of one book that they've been reading as well.

And yeah, what else is coming up?
