I'm sure this book will be enjoyed by many, but unfortunately for me i struggled to get into it. It took me quite a while just to read The Yabby Creek Dance as i had to keep putting it down and going back to it.

Again, Ms. Linnane immediately captures your interest with the coming of age storyline and precisely, creative descriptions. The sample has captured my attention and I am ready to read the rest of Aussie Bush Yams!

I am a fan of the language used in the book - it's truly descriptive. I enjoyed this book, and can't wait for the next from the author.

Sounds like a great combination of stories. " There are lessons buried in these pages, reminding us to appreciate our home, our family, and the simple things in life." These lessons are definitely how I feel about life. Congratulations on BOTD.

You review was beautifully written - thank you! I have downloaded my copy. Yay! Today's BOTD is a collection of stories filled with life lessons. I love that with each additional story, the reader gets to know the characters, their families, and the town in which they live on a personal level. This sounds like a must read, and I cannot wait to get started. Thank you, again! :-)

Good review! Even I like stories containing plots set in rural areas. This book seems a compilation of many short stories and all of the stories are different and are set in a rural town (fictional) of Australia. There are many lively characters in the book, and they live in the village and lead a simple life. I enjoy reading this kind of book. I guess this book should be in my book rack.

The book contains lots of short stories, the important thing is that the stories are all connected and not single stories. I love books that reminds me about family and how to appreciate them. Its really the simple things in life that matters. Good review.

Reading the 'Official Review: Aussie Bush Yarns by Jennie Linnane' feels as reading the story of the book itself! A very deserving explanation of the contents of the story! It would be great to find beauty in the seemingly mundane experiences of hardworking folks! I would love to appreciate my home, family and simple things in life!

I have always been a sucker for short stories and this book just pumped up my love for them a hundred times greater. The real life parallels were very close to the heart - he emotion, the human nature, the struggles, the dangers, happiness, sadness - each of which forming the big picture of Yabby Creak was like pieces of a puzzle all coming together in the end. Highly recommended.

I do not have any personal issue with the author, Jennie Linnae. But I am not very much fond of the themes that she write about. So, I will pass on this one. Anyway, congratulations on being BOTD

Your review has encouraged me to read this book. I'm not much into short stories myself, but it'll be worth a try.

Aussie Bush Yarns by Jennie Linnane is an #Anthology of  #ShortStories that revolves around the lives of the people in the beautiful Aussie bushland around the fictional town of Yabby Creek. It teaches life #Lessons and reminds the readers to appreciate their families and the simple things in life.

I have not decided whether to read or bypass reading this book.

Thanks for the review.

I sometimes enjoy reading short stories especially if the author is able to incorporate human nature so well. So, I hope I will get to read this one in future as it sure looks like Jennie has done so. Thanks for the great review.

I usually like short stories but as you said, they are too short for us to get to know the characters better. This book has removed that aspect of short stories and made it nearly perfect. Some of the topics described her are the same in both urban and rural areas, but the thoughts must be different and that intrigues me to read this book.
