🦕 Hai Beautiful 🌼 It’s not my last post of 2021, but the intention is there. I haven’t been very active on here at all this year, choosing mostly to focus on my BookTube channel and healing myself mentally. Throughout the year, my mental health was a huge focus for me and my creative hobbies were set on the back-burner – which in hindsight was not the best idea as their existence is vital for a healthy mind. This post […]
Continue ReadingHeyo Bookaholics! This is a Joke, but please be careful! We have reached the end on January, and the final day in the #FinnFuryRevolution Bookstagram (and now blog prompt) challenge! Today our prompt is Book Stacks! If you are on Bookstagram or like to lurk through book photos on any platform, you’ve 100% come across photos like the following (the first two are my own, and the last two are from Pinterest): These are known as ‘Book Stacks’. Quite an obvious name […]
Continue ReadingHeyo Bookaholics! Holla To The Hufflepuffs! This post is still related to the prompts from the #FinnFuryRevolution Instagram challenge, but instead of discussing country pride (ew), I’ve chosen to talk about another global family that I am a part of! I’ve collected and collaged some posts from Pinterest that encompass what it is to be a Hufflepuff, really emphasising the emotions of happiness and freedom. If there is ever a theme song for Hufflepuff house it has to be Smile […]
Continue ReadingHeyo Bookaholics! It’s The Age Old Question! This post is for the third-last day of my personal 30-Day-Blog Challenge I’ve tasked myself with doing this January. I am using the prompts from the #FinnFuryRevolution book photo challenge on Instagram, created by @PaperFury and @MiriamJoyWrites. At Day 29 of the challenge, we come across the prompt: Dystopia or Utopia? I love how open-ended the prompt it is, leaving the floor open to a discussion about what is better. I personally love reading Dystopian novels, […]
Continue ReadingHeyo Bookaholics! Happy Australia Day! My first posts of my Bookstagram: Prior to these, my little ol’ Instagram was nothing more than a confused lifestyle blog. I finally decided to change to a Bookstagram after following a few accounts and realising that the content I really wanted to blog about was books and not cafés and being outside! Over the 4-ish years that I have been on the Bookstagram, I have experienced pressure to post, the sadness of not having […]
Continue ReadingHeyo Bookaholics! Futuristic Apocolypse! Not all books set in the future have to involve aliens and space travel. The future could be 30 years from now in my expected lifetime where the world is falling apart. Maybe something happens and we don’t even get to space. Then all this science fiction will be just that. Fiction. Space will be nothing without us to admire it. Too morbid? That’s okay, this post won’t be an existential crisis; I save those for […]
Continue ReadingHeyo Bookaholics! 2018 Was A Brilliant Reading Year! This post is for Day 24 of #FinnFuryRevolution. I haven’t given enough credit to myself about my reading habits of 2018. I read novels from a lot of new authors, including the two I am going to talk about in this post. I have mentioned previously that Bloomsbury kindly sends me proof copies of new release novels in advance which has helped me widen my reading range and discover books I would otherwise […]
Continue ReadingHeyo Bookaholics! Another January Baby! Disclaimer: I want to add this disclaimer here to say that Finn posted on their Instagram (@miriamjoywrites) story that their pronouns are they/them. This is my first experience using they/them pronouns so if there are any errors in this post please do let me know (kindly) as I have tried my very best to ensure the pronouns have been used correctly. As a part of day 22 of #FinnFuryrevolution, the prompts asked us to recreate any one […]
Continue ReadingHeyo Bookaholics! My TBR is at least 30% Historical Fiction! Books set in the past are something I don’t venture into much unless they’re placed on my doorstep. Literally. Every book you see in this post has been sent to me by Allen and Unwin and I am so grateful that they have crossed my path. If you are keeping up with the #FinnFuryRevolution Instagram book tag, then you might know that the title for this post was the prompt for the […]
Continue ReadingHeyo Bookaholics! Don’t we all love a good action scene? Dystopian, fantasy, science-fiction… What do all of these novel types have in common? Typically, a captivating fight scene! In books like Harry Potter, The Illuminae Files, Magnus Chase, Percy Jackson, Nevernight, Shadowhunters, The Mortality Doctrine, etc. there is always someone trying to defeat a bad guy/ guys; but is war and fighting really the answer? As usual, when I want to do a post that answers a question I conducted a […]
