It took me a while to get my head around The Rest of Us Just Live Here. It reads exactly like a contemporary novel, but on the back of Mikey’s love for his best friend and struggles with his politician mum and alcoholic dad, there’s dead things coming back to life, indie kids dying and other supernatural occurrences […]
Indulgence Insider is our version of Stacking the Shelves, Bought, Borrowed & Bagged and the Sunday Post, bringing you this week’s haul, bookish news and discussion posts from around the blogosphere! So it’s been a while since I did one of these wrap ups! I’ve missed doing them and have gotten heaps of books in the […]
It’s been about a year since the #WeNeedDiverseBooks campaign started, where everyone was campaigning for more diversity in books that were being published.

As a completely enchanting, elegant exploration of movie making in LA, it’s a story of hope, a young starlet and a designer, artistic passion and love that only grows when you give it a chance. The novel starts […]

I picked this up, knowing it was about a girl suffering from an eating disorder, but little did I know, the multiple triggers the book would cover.
