Top 5… green, blue and purple covers!
ARGH!! Monday was a public holiday in Australia (happy birthday Queenie!), so I thought that tomorrow was Tuesday so I nearly missed this week’s post! Luckily I saw Shanah’s post which reminded me I hadn’t finished mine yet!! Today’s Top 5 Tuesday is ‘green, blue and purple covers’, and is hosted by the super lovely Shanah over at the Bionic…
Top 5… red, orange and yellow covers!
FINALLY! We are caught up. And not a moment too soon. I apologise to all my subscribers for the spam email you received today. I promise not to do the same with all the book reviews that also didn’t schedule during May! Today’s Top 5 Tuesday is ‘red, orange and yellow covers’, and is hosted by the super lovely Shanah…
Top 5… ending lines
This Top 5 Tuesday post was ‘ending (or last) lines’, and is hosted by the super lovely Shanah over at the Bionic Bookworm, and you can check out her page here (please do, she’s amazing). Also, my scheduled blog posts weren’t posting, so I don’t know what’s happening with that, so you’re getting four weeks at once. AREN’T YOU FREAKING LUCKY?! I…
Top 5… opening lines
FYI, I’m not sure why but apparently my scheduled posts aren’t scheduling…? So, here’s four weeks worth of Top 5’s! (But yes, three of them are from May… I mean, I worked so hard on them, and then they just sat here!) This Top 5 Tuesday post is ‘opening/first lines’, and is hosted by the super lovely Shanah over at…
May ’18 wrap-up and June TBR
May was a KILLER month for me. And by “killer”, I mean I worked a LOT more than I normally do, so in turn, I read far less. May is always a busy month for my work, but this year was kind of beyond the normal insanity of it. This is also why I had not realised that all my…
Top 5… books I’d save from a fire
Today’s Top 5 Tuesday is ‘books I’d save from a fire’, and is hosted by the super lovely Shanah over at the Bionic Bookworm, and you can check out her page here (please do, she’s amazing). OMG SHANAH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME??? Full disclosure: I nearly cried when I read this, because, I mean, only 5? All my Kristoff books…
April ’18 wrap-up and May TBR
April was a KILLER month for me. I read a bunch of books, some of them were average (mostly the contemporaries), but most of them were great, so it was still good. I also read most of my set TBR, so I am slowly (but surely) getting through it! April wrap-up FYI, I totally killed it for April. I’m really…
Top 5… series I won’t be finishing
Today’s Top 5 Tuesday is ‘series that I won’t be finishing’, and is hosted by the super lovely Shanah over at the Bionic Bookworm, and you can check out her page here (please do, she’s amazing). OK! Umm, honestly? I can’t think of any series I’ve read recently that I wouldn’t finish, but I’m also not really the type of person…
April ’18 book haul
You know, I genuinely thought that this month would be better than others, but I totally forgot about half of the books I ordered online (mostly preorders) and then I had two in person splurges… One day this will slow down… I mean, it has to, right?! Anyway, we are splitting this into three sections because I (once again) bought…
Top 5… books I DIDN’T like that others LOVED
Today’s Top 5 Tuesday is ‘books that I didn’t like that others loved’, and is hosted by the super lovely Shanah over at the Bionic Bookworm, and you can check out her page here (please do, she’s amazing). Shanah, if I get mobbed in my sleep over these unpopular opinions, I am blaming you! (Reader, I expect to get hate from you…
Top 5… books I LOVED that others DIDN’T
Today’s Top 5 Tuesday is ‘books I loved that others didn’t’, and is hosted by the super lovely Shanah over at the Bionic Bookworm, and you can check out her page here (please do, she’s amazing). Shanah, you’re killing me with this topic! This is kind of interesting because different people like all sorts of different things, and when we say ‘others’,…
Top 5… books that need a prequel
Today’s Top 5 Tuesday is ‘books that need a prequel’, and is hosted by the super lovely Shanah over at the Bionic Bookworm, and you can check out her page here (please do, she’s amazing). Blegh. I adamantly believe that most series do not require prequels. 99% of the time it feels like the author is just trying to cash in on…
March ’18 wrap-up and April TBR
OMG, how the hell are we in April already? I still haven’t done my book haul post or unboxed any boxes I got in March and I haven’t even edited the February videos!! Where has the year gone?! So, this month saw me attend the Obsidio book launch in Melbourne, and having a ginormous 16 books signed by the dynamic…
Top 5… characters that would win the show Survivor
Woo-hoooo! I made it! A whole month of Top 5 posts (yes, I am still counting this even though today was a double-post because I missed last week)! If you’re interested in joining, you can contact Shanah over here. OMG, Survivor… I haven’t seen that show in forever, but I remember how it goes. Stranded on an island, you need…
Top 5… contemporary fiction (adult and/or young adult)
So… this post is a whole week late because I was sick AND traveling… Booooooo. Also, friendly reminder that Shanah is running Top 5 Tuesdays, and if you’d like to join us, you can contact her over here. Only about 20% of the books I read (possibly less) are contemporary reads, but I still have my favourites (not in any…
Top 5 … authors I want to meet!
So from the month of March (as in right now), I will be participating in Top 5 Tuesday! YAAAY!! This means that I actually need to start delivering on my promise to blog ALL THE TIME. Also, it means that I actually need to cut things down to a finite number (like 5) and stick to it… *less yaaaay!* I’ve…
February ’18 Book Haul
Do you ever feel like you’ve got too many books? I never thought that I would ever say it, but my TBR pile is getting higher and higher every month, and I am starting to think I won’t catch up! In saying that, of my eleven books I bought/received in February, two were doubles, and two were copies of a…
LitJoy Batman: Nightwalker unboxing
So I’ve been mucking around with iMovie this morning editing my unboxing video I took for the LitJoy crate. I did upload this one to Instagram, but apparently they hate videos longer than 60 seconds, so I deleted it and redid it all fast so it fit! So, this is the slightly longer one that I put on YouTube. It’s…
January ’18 wrap-up and February TBR
Due to travel, I read a much larger number of ebooks than I normally do, but I also think I must have read them faster, because I seemed to tear through them, which was good as it gave me a pretty good head start on my 70 book aim for the year. Although Goodreads has been classifying each issue of…
January ’18 book haul
Hey team! So I’ve been meaning to start this for a while now, but you know, life happens and disrupts all your plans, but I feel like the new year is great time to get on top of these things, so January here we are! This month was slightly insane in terms of a book haul for me, as I…
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…
