Make a mug of tea (or any other hot beverage of your choice), and settle in for something a bit different. We're going to talk books but also life during lockdown in Melbourne last year. Favourite Reads Amber My reading during lockdown went up down depending on my uni workload, but I ticked quite a… Continue reading Winter Favourites and a Post-Lockdown Chat
What’s on my 2021 TBR?
Hi friends, Emily here! Usually I start off the new year with a Most Anticipated Releases post, but I'm doing something a little bit different for 2021 because I've decided to try and minimise my book-spending this year. I have *a lot* of unread books on my shelves at home so I'm aiming to get… Continue reading What’s on my 2021 TBR?
Before the Beginning – Book Review
One of my favourite reads of last year was All That Impossible Space, so when AusYABloggers announced their book tour for Before the Beginning I got very excited. And I probably texted Emily using all caps and lots of heart-eye emojis. When my copy arrived I read it in one sitting and almost didn't regret… Continue reading Before the Beginning – Book Review
Book Scavenger Hunt
Hello friends, Emily here with another book tag. I had a lot of fun doing the Mid-Year Book Freak Out a few weeks back so I'm back with the Book Scavnenger Hunt. I've seen different versions of this on booktube and some blogs but I got these questions from The Book Nut. I did take… Continue reading Book Scavenger Hunt

So here is my slightly-past-mid-year-freak-out, for January to July. 1. How much have you read? 21… Continue reading Emily’s (Late) Mid-Year Book Freak Out
2020 Best of Shelf So Far…
Can you believe we've crossed the halfway point of 2020? It's been a strange year, with a lot of my plans either cancelled or altered for online platforms, and I found myself falling into a bit of a reading slump during April/May. It took me a little while to get back into reading, but the… Continue reading 2020 Best of Shelf So Far…
Reading During Lockdown
We had such grand plans for the blog, but like a lot of things, these plans went a little awry when lockdown began in March. The past few months have been scary, stressful, and strange, and my reading habits have been all over the place. Now that we're in lockdown 2.0, I thought I'd share… Continue reading Reading During Lockdown
2020 Most Anticipated
The YA Showcase is always a highlight of my bookish year, and the 2020 showcase was no exception. The showcase operates a bit like speed-dating, with each publisher allowed only five minutes to pitch their books to the audience. With 11 publishers in attendance, attendees had the opportunity to hear about over 50 upcoming releases,… Continue reading 2020 Most Anticipated
