Annnnd we’re back from our first family trip together! We headed up to Mackay in North Queensland for the Whitsunday Voices Youth Literature Festival and had an incredible time. Late last year, I was asked by the Whitsunday Voices team to become a speaker at the event to speak about book blogging, and I was […]
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’m currently working in Toronto at the moment and I was really lucky to be able to attend the HCC Frenzy Fall Preview this past Sunday. It was a fantastic event that was fun and informative, and we were even fortunate enough to be able to have Angie Thomas, Becky Albertalli and Julie Murphy as […]
This past Saturday was All Day YA at the Sydney Writers’ Festival and I attended a few sessions and was able to catch up with some bookish friends who I haven’t seen for what feels like forever because of everything that’s been going on in my work and personal life. I had a lot of […]
