Plus, go in the draw to score a swish hat to suit.

Chock-full of witty anecdotes, intimate insights and a plastic budgie or two, Adelaide/Tarntanya author Olivia De Zila’s Plastic Budgie is a romp of a nostalgia trip. Drawing on images and memories from her own life – like swapping out talking for dog barks when she was a child and coming upon a yellow bird in a shoebox from the Adelaide Central Markets – this debut novel from independent publishing house Pink Shorts Press is one to pop on the tippiest-top of your to be read pile. Lucky for you, bookworm pals, we have two copies of the novel to giveaway – plus two ripper Plastic Budgie caps to go along with them. All you need to do to throw your lit girl hat in the ring is head over to our win page and enter. Happy reading!
