December 2022 TBR
Hello friends!! Well, it’s finally happened. For the first time since I joined Goodreads (in 2013), it’s looking like I won’t hit my Goodreads goal. So, I’m making a December 2022 TBR (or really end of year as I do still have 4 days of November). I need to get my game face on. And that’s not even thinking about…

Hello bookworms!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 books with a holiday. Huh… I feel like maybe the June topics are really starting to line up.

Top 5 books about a birth
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 books about a birth. Well… I gave us a reprieve last week. And now all of a sudden we’re back at hard topics. I’m not sure why I thought this would be easy. I was clearly out of my mind when I wrote them. Oh yes, Easter…

December 2021 book haul
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to the December 2021 book haul!! A monthly post where I usually shame myself for never achieving my goal of buying less than I read, or sticking to my buying goal.

Hello bookworms!! It’s time for the July-August 2021 wrap up. Because we are finally catching up on things!! YAAAAAAY!!

July 2021 book haul
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to the July 2021 book haul!! A monthly post where I shame myself for never achieving my goal of buying less than I read, or sticking to my buying goal. Except in July, which is both, unprecedented and unexpected. In fact, this is going to be a pretty sad and sorry list… June was my birthday month,…

August 2021 TBR and the MS Readathon
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to the August 2021 TBR post, where I will also be talking about the MS Readathon. So… I admit that I get pretty shady when it comes to TBRs. The last one I posted was for Middle-Grade March. And it was so bad that I didn’t read a single thing ON the TBR. But not just that.…

March 2021 wrap up
Hello bookworms!! It’s time for the March 2021 wrap up. Which was basically forever ago because April has been a TIME. Is it just me, or is 2021 shaping up to be somehow worse than 2020?? Just like in February, I can’t seem to stay on top of things. Except where I was failing at everything except two things before,…

Happy Tuesday bookworms!! Today’s top 5 Tuesday topic is all about your favourite characters whose names begin with the letters A-E. Favourite characters!!

Looking for a new ‘magic school’ series?
Hello bookworms!! Are you looking for something new to fill that Harry Potter ‘magic school’ series void in your life?? Let’s be honest, the absolute shitshow of JK Rowling’s recent(ish) social media outbursts have had a lot of us questioning our support of the Potterverse. A lot of my friends have stopped buying official merch (which gives JK money), taken…

Top 5… cute romances
Good morning bookworms! Today’s Top 5 Tuesday is cute romances! Honestly, this topic warms my cold, little soul. Partially because it’s now post-ANZAC day here and so it went from 20º days to 7º days in the span of a week, and partially because I have been reading so many adorable romance stories to keep me sane lately!! Top 5…

Top 11?… Authors: P-Z
Good morning bookworms! Yes, I know, it’s supposed to be a Top 5, but this week had 6 letters (U-Z) AND I’m playing catch up with last week’s letters (P-T) because the blog was doing its 72 hour transfer to self-hosting thing, so I missed it!! As I mentioned before, I’m also going to try and not do the obvious…
