Unearthed Book Launch & Signing!!

Hey Ho Bookaholics!

This event, hosted by Allen & Unwin at the Dymocks on Collins St. in Melbourne, brought us – and by ‘us’ I mean the bookworms of Australia – our beloved Amie Kaufman, and the very first international author I have met; Meagan Spooner.

After a big day at work (8:30 – 5), dressed in my Gemina inspired outfit consisting of a full black jumpsuit (definitely not Danae Matresco), and heeled peep-toe boots; I met my friend at Flinder’s Street Station in the CBD, and for those of you who have never experienced Melbourne city in peak hour, or at any time of the day; it was a mess of people, cigarettes and thankfully a healthy police presence.

Fast forward an hour…

Bloomsbury Bloggers Event Night!

Hey Ho Bookaholics!

Welcome back to another Storytime Wednesday! I have some big crazy news.

I was invited by Bloomsbury to attend the Bloomsbury Bloggers Event held in Carlton at the Library there which I have forgotten the name of… But that is irrelevant because the event was hosted by the lovely Caz aka TheLittleBookOwl on YouTube.

I got to meet a bunch of lovely YouTubers, influencers, and fellow reviewers, as pictured below; Tracy and I met YouTubers Lily of LilyCReads, and Chami of IsThatChami (formerly ReadLikeWildfire).

I’m Writing a Book! (NaNoWriMo News)

Hello Bookaholics!

Today’s post is going to be more chill (indicated by the smaller headding), and a little bit more on the personal side of things, deviating from my usualy book reaviews and fun.

For the better part of this month – that is from the 10th through to the 30th – I participated in NaNoWriMo, the yearly writing competition held very November, with preparations starting as early as August! This competition encourages young people like myself to write a novel in the month of November and share their progress, tips, and story with their friends and the wider community.

I decided to join the NaNoWriMo writing competition because I finished exams early November and I have been wanting to write a book but I really kept losing motivation and ideas. I belived that NaNoWriMo would help me get on track with my writing and also set my on my path to publishing my very first novel.

For the release of the Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them movie this year, Actress Evanna Lynch anounced the name of the North American wizarding school at a Pottermore Fan event in January this year. The names of the also released the names of the Brazilian, Japanese and Ugandan wizarding schools were also released at this event and are now available to read about on Pottermore.

In the past I have consulted the sorting hat and he told me that I am best suited to be in the house of Helga Hufflepuff and my partonus, as I also discovered is a is a Bassett Hound, which was pretty cool to discover as I’ve always likened myself to a dog.

My wand is super cool! It is Laurel wood with a Dragon heartstring core, 12 1/2″ and Solid flexibility. This is it below.

Gemina Book Launch and Signing

Hey Ho Bookaholics!

Today the theme is blue, because I have some amazing Gemina news to share with you!

Last night I went to the Victorian State Library to attend the Book Launch for Gemina by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman. I forced my dad to come along with me and he (surprisingly) enjoyed the event.
