I have decided to combine the last two months in one book haul - not because I forgot but because September was rather a poor effort for book hauling. So instead of boring us all with a paltry 3-book haul, I've lumped September in with my much healthier book hoarding habits from October. This exact … Continue reading September & October Book Haul! | 2019
It's not Autumn where I am, no. I live in Australia and we're dusting off the chocolate wrappers from our brief dalliance (mostly with the sweets) from Halloween down here, and decking the halls with festive kangaroos and shrimps on barbie: Christmas is coming. So naturally, I'm going to talk about Autumn and the books … Continue reading Autumnal Books | Top Ten Tuesday

Living in Australia, I don't really celebrate Halloween. It's just not a thing in our neck of the woods. That being said, it doesn't stop the retail stores wistfully stocking their shelves with spooky products for those few of us who go all out. Personally, I carve a pumpkin and that's it. I do like … Continue reading A Spooky TBR | Top Ten Tuesday

Perhaps "rubbish titles" is a bit harsh, but you know what? Us readers need inspiring and GALLANT (can titles be gallant? probably not) titles to make us reach across the void (aka: our TBRs) and pluck a certain book from the sea of books out there. Because dang, if I see a 'meh' book title … Continue reading Rubbish Titles | Top Ten Tuesday
