Hello bookworms!! It’s time for the December 2021 wrap up. It is finally 2022!! I mean, it’s been 2022 for like a week now, but YAY!! This is (the first of my many) final wrap ups of 2021. THANK GOODNESS. I mean, I’m not convinced that 2022 will be any better than 2021, but I can still be hopeful for…

Naughty or Nice book tag V2
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to today’s post: the Naughty or Nice book tag V2. V2? You ask. Yes, V2. I originally did the Naughty or Nice book tag in 2018, and … my answers haven’t actually changed. The gorgeous Bookish Luna then tagged me to do this again in 2019, and it has sat on my tag list ever since. So,…

December ’19 book haul
Good morning bookworms, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I’m gonna be honest, it feels kind of weird being New Years at the moment. Our fireworks got canceled a week ago because of the total fire ban in place with all of our bushfires.* We’ve had friends be evacuated from their homes yesterday and a lot of people spent the night at…

BE Winter ’19: All I Want For Christmas…
Good afternoon bookworms! This is my third and final post for Book Ending Winter this year! Also, I know it’s past Christmas, so this is kind of a “I did get this, I wish I had gotten this, and maybe if I’m good I’ll get it next year…” post instead!!

BE Winter ’19: Ways a Villain Could Ruin the Holidays
Good evening bookworms! You all thought I forgot that I signed up for BE Winter, didn’t you?! Well, you’re probably right. I kept thinking to myself “there’s something that I meant to post this month…” and I just couldn’t remember. But then when I started to catch up on blog-hopping and I was seeing all the posts, that still didn’t…

Christmas book tags
Good morning bookworms! MERRY CHRISTMAS!! (It’s Christmas in Australia, ok? Your turn will come soon!!) I was tagged in 3 Christmas themed tags in the last week, and I just could squeeze them into my schedule, so I’m swapping them out for my regular WWW Wednesday and doing them today instead! Firstly, we had the Joy of Christmas book tag…

Mrs Claus’ Read-a-thon
Good evening bookworms! Welcome to another edition of “Meeghan signs herself up for more things than she can handle”… or can she? Who knows?!

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…

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…

Joy Of Christmas Book Tag
We are so close to Christmas it’s ridiculous! I am currently eating my weight in gingerbread and lounging under the air conditioner because it’s supposed to be starting at 31°C (87°F) moving to 36°C (97°F) this week but it definitely feels hotter than that! Definitely a week to lie by the pool under an umbrella (skin cancer is real kids)…

Holidays ’18 TBR
Good morning bookworms! I’m on holidays! And I’m in the middle of packing my suitcase for our trip north to see our families! And because we’re taking the car, I can pack AS MANY BOOKS AS I WANT because there isn’t a luggage weight limit. Also, we’ll be gone for almost three weeks, so I’ll definitely want to pack a…

Brandy Custard
My favourite side with plum pudding at Christmas time is Brandy Custard. Well, brandy custard and ice cream. I use a family recipe, and while it’s probably a little heavy on the brandy side, it is what I am used to (and besides, isn’t Christmas a perfect time for a little indulgence?). Ingredients 550g* of milk (full cream / full…

Butter cookies
Yum! Butter cookies! These are absolutely one of my favourites at Christmas time, and are perfect with either a tall glass of milk (because it is summer in Australia at Christmas time), or a delicious mug of hot chocolate… or spiked egg-nog! They are equally delicious the rest of the year as well, and a good recipe for kids too. Ingredients…
…books, baking, and other questionable hobbies…
