Book Addiction Tag
Good morning bookworms! Sorry, I’m a bit late with posting today as I went to the Darkdawn book launch in Melbourne last night, and I am tired! I met up with some friends and after we exited the bookstore (at 9:30pm) we went out for dinner and then I took the tram back to my hotel room (where I proceeded to stay up late continuing my reread of Nevernight…) So this morning I took full advantage of the late check out and then did a small shop along Collins St.…

Off Tangent Thoughts… during read-a-thons
Good morning bookworms! Today we are doing another Off Tangent Thoughts (OTT) which was created by Charvi @ Not Just Fiction. This fortnight’s topic is thoughts I have during read-a-thons. I LOVE read-a-thons. I love getting a list of prompts and finding books that work for them. I’m just really bad at the execution of them… because… I am a mood reader. 😭 OMG! A read-a-thon! *cue internal SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!* *pores over list of prompts* *runs around room finding books that match each prompt* *opens giant ‘BOOKS’ spreadsheet* *creates new tab*…
Off Tangent Thoughts… when someone reads a book I love
Good evening bookworms! I somehow forgot today was Sunday, so I didn’t schedule this post (also I am so tired from travel and packing)!! Today, albeit later than usual, we are doing another Off Tangent Thoughts (OTT) which was created by Charvi @ Not Just Fiction. This fortnight’s topic is thoughts I have when someone reads a book I love. I was going to split this one into two: thoughts I have if I recommended it, and thoughts I have if they randomly read it, but after I drafted them…
Versatile Blogger Award #2
Good evening bookworms! Remember that time I said something along the lines of… But this year I had a plan… And sometimes I miss a day, or I don’t post what I was going to, but that’s life. I try and schedule posts when I can, but it’s not always easy. I imagine I’ll probably miss some days when we move interstate in June. But you take the good with the bad, and you do the best you can. A-HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA. Life has been a bitch lately. But I’m going to…
Recommendations: So, I'm thinking about trying adult fiction…
Good evening bookworms! So, most of you are probably thinking ‘What the hell, Meegs? WE READ YA!’ Don’t get me wrong – I’m totally with you. But sometimes I like to change things up. (Not very often though… I am a creature of comfort.) I was, weirdly, reading adult books before there was a defined YA age group. Uh-huh, that’s how old I am kids, Old enough to remember pre-internet, pre-mobile phones, and pre-YA. It truly was the dark ages. However, in those years BYA (before YA), I read some…
Off Tangent Thoughts… when someone interrupts my reading
Good morning bookworms! Today we are doing another Off Tangent Thoughts (OTT) which was created by Charvi @ Not Just Fiction. This fortnight’s topic is thoughts I have when someone interrupts my reading. I need to start this one with a disclaimer… 99% of the time my reading is interrupted it’s my husband. The other 1% is when I actually get to take a book to work AND read it during my lunch break… which is not very often! *am reading* *hears something in background* *ignores and keeps reading* huh……
