How is it already the end of June?! Also, we can’t believe that it is almost our 7 year blogoversary! We have some fun things planned so keep an eye out for announcements on Twitter. Today, we’ll be doing the Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag to recap our reading for the first half of […]
I absolutely devoured There’s Something About Sweetie! I loved When Dimple Met Rishi and was so excited to read a companion novel about Rishi’s brother, Ashish (and yes, Rishi does make a small cameo). To be honest, I couldn’t quite remember what happened to Ashish in When Dimple Met Rishi so I was a little bit lost at the start […]
Serious Moonlight is by far my favourite contemporary YA novel that I’ve read so far this year. Granted, there hasn’t been a single Jenn Bennett book that I haven’t loved, but Serious Moonlight is my absolute favourite of everything that she has ever written. I loved the setting, the characters, the issues discussed, the mystery and just the […]
I wasn’t sure what to expect from What I Like About Me because the synopsis reminded me so much of Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy, with the beauty pageant and body positivity aspects. But What I Like About Me is definitely a vastly different book to Dumplin’. It is very quintessentially Australian and I related to it much more than I related to Dumplin’ because […]
I feel like it’s been ages since I’ve done a post that wasn’t a review. So I’m going to recap my 2019 so far in what I’m calling my mid-year life review (even though it’s only been like four and a half months since 2019 started)… Try not to question it too much. I’m a […]
I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump lately due to my busy work and travel schedule so I decided to pick up a cute, fluffy audiobook that could lift my spirits and The Flatshare definitely did the trick. It had depth and explored some hard-hitting themes, but was ultimately cute and romantic. The premise of […]
I love historical fiction, particularly WWII historical fiction, so I couldn’t pass up on The French Photographer. I’ve seen Natasha Lester’s books around but this is the first one I’ve ever read. And I have to say that it was absolutely amazing. The French Photographer is written from dual timelines that alternate throughout the book. It follows […]
Jennifer E. Smith’s books are always short and sweet, and right up my alley. Except I kinda didn’t really like Field Notes on Love very much. Which is a big deal because I am Jennifer E. Smith trash. Field Notes on Love had a really great concept and definitely inspired a wanderlust in me. It follows Hugo, from […]
I cannot believe it took me so long to read The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. I’ve seen so many rave reviews of it and Aentee @ Read at Midnight even tried to push me to read it by literally sending me her copy back in 2016. Better late than never though! I ended up listening […]
