G'day friends! Today, I kind of want to do a slightly different post. I was reading Tim Parks' novel, Where Am I Reading From? for my thesis and I came across this little section where he talks about how he's childhood bookshelf kind of prophesised where his interests would and/or wouldn't lie in the future. [...]
this poem is slightly cringe-worthy and i'm embarrassed to post it, only because I've been suffering severe writer's block where my poetry is concerned. if it lacks a bit of something, if the wording is off, know that this is raw and unedited. i wanted to showcase the difficulty of finding the write words to [...]
Well , g'day there friends. I've been tossing up whether or not to write this, only because I feel like I keep on bringing this up and it can get repetitive and annoying. But here we are! A few weeks ago I took a mini-hiatus from twitter and from my blog (the only posts that [...]
Worth the hype? EDIT: Bunked it down to a 2 star in the aftermath of speaking with a few people about this book, its problems and overall mediocrity. I am going to be completely honest with all of you, because this is a safe space, I wrote this review before knowing that the author enjoys [...]

Hi friends! Today's post is a guest post by the wonderful Lilly Bartlett a.k.a Michele Gorman! Let's get started! How often do you pick up a book because of the cover? I do it all the time. It’s what makes me take the time to look at the description, read the first few paragraphs, and, [...]
If you have been following me for a while, either through my blog or my Twitter, you may have an inkling as to my overwhelming and whole-hearted love for the author Nalini Singh. One of the most impactful characters she's ever written would have, in my own opinion, to be Elena Deveraux of the Guildhunter [...]
I'm baaack. And this time it's part TWO of Book Bloggers' Most Anticipated Books of 2019. I am super excited about this post but I'm so sad that it's over. I've enjoyed this experience immensely and I hope the bloggers that have been so kind have also too. I also want to thank you, readers, for being so supportive! It means a [...]
Finally!, they exclaim. We've only been waiting for what seems like years! I know, I know. I was just blown away by everyone's enthusiasm and I wanted it to be perfect!
