You might be wondering why you're reading "September" when it's very clearly October. Well alright, don't get snappy with me. I do know what month it is. Unfortunately, there was a massive, gigantic, titanic, mammoth, galactic delay on September's edition of The YA Chronicles for reasons completely out of their hands. So after crying myself to … Continue reading The YA Chronicles Unboxing || September 2016

Welcome back! I hope you're having a more successful Wednesday than myself. I'm currently pouring over 17th century accounts of the Atlantic slave trade for an essay . . . isn't uni life fun? You'll be please to know, however, that I've been very good this first half of the month with book buying (spoiler: … Continue reading Wishlist Wednesday [#32]
Is anyone else positively gasping for Christmas? It's just about the only thing I can THINK of at the moment. Which is crazy because it's mid-October but boy oh boy do I love Christmas. I cannot wait to have oodles of time to lounge about and read. Not mention reading some of these spectacular books … Continue reading Waiting on Wednesday [#44]
It would seem that I'm entirely unable to actually stick to the topic for Top Ten Tuesday. Not only this week have I given up the pretence of racking my brains trying to think of appropriate books, but I've flat out created by own list to make. Because what fun are rules if you actually … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Back in the Day
Oh look! Another book tag. I'm on a roll. I wasn't actually tagged to do this (but pssht, who needs to be tagged to do anything?) but if I could date a website, it'd be Goodreads, so OF COURSE I had to do the tag. I saw this done by Naomi @ Professional Fangrl so … Continue reading The Goodreads Book Tag

I could not tell you for the life of my what exactly it was about that computer game that I found impossible to stop playing but ARGH IT'S SO ADDICTIVE. When I saw jessethereader do this tag on BookTube I knew … Continue reading The Sims Book Tag
The super exciting thing about today is that it feels like summer. It's currently a DIVINE 33 degrees which means I'm thoroughly enjoying pretending I'm larking about in the sun whilst I stay inside studying (did you hear the sarcasm? DID YOU). Sigh. Oh I can't wait until summer break is here and I can … Continue reading Wishlist Wednesday [#31]
I did the most impressive thing the other day, are you ready for this? I walked into the bookstore to see whether Dymocks had stocked up on all the September new releases (because honestly sometimes they just don't) and they had! There were copies of several books I really, really wanted to buy. BUT I … Continue reading Waiting on Wednesday [#43]
