Time is strange. In some ways it feels like only a few weeks since I last posted here but dates don’t lie and in actuality it’s been years. Years! I’ve gotten a little older. Hopefully a little wiser. But definitely still the same book loving person I’ve always been. My tastes have changed. I find …
Unpopular opinions. I think most of us have them. When we don’t agree with the majority of people with regards to a certain thing. I thought it might be fun to share some book related unpopular opinions I have. I hated The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger. Maybe I was too young …
It’s Tuesday! And that means it’s time to participate in the meme created by Broke and Bookish where bloggers share their top ten based on a given topic. Today’s Topic is: Ten Books Set Outside The US I’m going to take this as an opportunity to give some love to some of my favourite Aussie based …
Happy Sunday! I mentioned I was going to go to the Lifeline Bookfest this weekend and as usual – I came home with quite a haul. But surprisingly this time I walked away with no fiction books. I love going to Bookfest and seeing what they have on offer. And it’s always amazing when you …

I don’t consider myself to be addicted to books. But apparently my sister thinks I might have a problem. She refuses to buy me books for my birthday or Christmas because she doesn’t want to enable me. Whilst the conversation was in jest and I’m sure she was joking (or at least I’m pretty sure), …

This was a free event and part of the Brisbane Writer’s Festival. #LoveYA featured author panels, book signings, live music and poetry reading as well as a number of workshops by writers and artists. Whilst this event was …

I thought it might be fun to try to summarize 6 books I’ve read and reviewed recently in the form of a haiku. Three lines, seventeen syllables, and six summaries which (hopefully) make sense. Enjoy 🙂 The Minnow by Diana Sweeney A girl sans family Talks to fish, ghosts, Nan and her unborn – The Minnow. Spark …
