Today I went to the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Launch Party at our local dymocks which was lots of fun! Although we kind of missed out of a lot of activities at the book store (everyone was pretty spread out), it was great being there for the countdown and seeing some people in […]
The finest contemporaries are realistic and Seven Ways We Lie was just that. Set in a high school in a small town, this novel is a very realistic exploration of the teenage mind and the issues that high schoolers deal with. The story begins with a rumour of a student-teacher relationship but the book is about much […]
You know I love recommending new Aussie (and New Zealand!) YA authors – they’re talented, come from different walks of life and are leading the charge when it comes to diverse and relatable YA.
