Life update – mini hiatus
Good afternoon bookworms This is just a very small post to say that … well, I’m tired! I had all of these grand plans to start 2020 off with a bang, but between the crazy insane hot weather here, the threat of bushfires, and the smoke, I’m feeling a bit stressed at the moment. On top if all of this,…
Meeghan’s 12 Days of Christmas
Good morning bookworms! Today’s post is kind of different. Different in the sense that I’m actually not here to talk to you about books that I have read, am currently reading, or want to read… but rather what books are on your Christmas list (or Hanukkah list, or birthday list, or just general wishlist – no religious denominations required). In…
You know when you take on too much…
Good morning bookworms! You know that feeling you get when you’re SO EXCITED for everything, and so you sign up to it all, and then about a third of the way through whatever time period you start to realise that you’ve overloaded yourself and then panic and anxiety start to set in, and then you start to spiral and you…
Book blitz: The Boy Who Steals Houses
Good morning bookworms! So… last week while I was on a mini break, I was supposed to post something for the Aussie Book Blitz for The Boy Who Steals Houses by C. G. Drews. However, I didn’t for TWO reasons: I had already written and posted a book review AND an author interview for this gorgeous gem of a book…
Mini slump…
Hi friends and book worms (although I guess you’re all one and the same at the moment) I’m having a mini slump. I won’t say a ‘reading slump’ because I haven’t been posting on instagram or blogging much either. I’ve even taken a few days off Discord *gasp*. I’ve had some change recently and I thought everything would magically fall…
Mini life update 2018
Hi guys! I hope you had a nice Christmas, and best wishes for the coming New Year! I’ve decided to postpone the remainder of my posts I had planned for the last week of the year. The reason behind this is that we didn’t have a great Christmas. We were away visiting family from the 22nd, and on Christmas Eve…
Why I’ll be sharing a Book Depository link from now on
Hi guys! So, this is just a note from me to you to let you know that I’ll be adding a Book Depository link to all my reviews from now on, and I’ll probably eventually go back and add them to old ones too. Now, IT’S NOT WHAT YOU THINK. Well, it’s kind of what you think. The link is…
Book of Mormon – the Musical
So last Friday night I went and saw the musical Book of Mormon by the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone. I had received my latest treatment in the hospital that morning, so after a nap, the first thing I desperately wanted to do was take a one hour train trip into Melbourne CBD and sit in…
Not so crash hot…
So I haven’t been feeling particularly well over the last couple of weeks. I think I hide it pretty well at work, but the last week in particular has been a bit hard. I’ve worked from home for an afternoon and we were off-site one day anyway. I had my latest treatment at the hospital on Friday morning. My doctor…
Goals for 2017
I am relatively new to blogging. I’ve wanted to do it for a long time, but just never quite got around to finding the time. You know, we’re all so busy with life that we just keep adding things to our “I should do that” list, and if you’re like me, that list just keeps getting longer and longer. In…
The cutest earrings ever
I’m not really a jewellery wearer. The only piece that I have worn consistently this year is my engagement ring – and I was only given it in June. I don’t wear other rings, necklaces, bracelets or brooches. I don’t even wear makeup that often. However, I cannot resist these amazingly adorable wooden earrings that are made by a lady…
Wedding planning – stationery
I’m an event planner – that’s my jam. It’s not what I do for a living now, but I worked in hospitality for a long time, and I used to own and run a small business that did party planning. It’s my dream job (if I could make enough money from it while still being my own boss). I’m also…
It’s a cat life…
So, partner and I have three (yes, you saw that right, THREE) cats. I’m going to introduce them now because it is likely that I will talk about them lots. They have real names, but that’s not what we refer to them as. We call them The Cat, The Kitten, and The Fluffy. The Cat So this one is our…
Bowel diseases and polite society…
So. I have a bowel disease. Surprisingly, it’s not something that I feel comfortable talking about. In fact, I’m kind of ashamed by it – and I don’t know why. I guess there’s a taboo talking about your intestinal tract in polite society. But then again, I’m not sure we live in a polite society any more. Also, it’s not…
