Hai Bookaholics! I see you’re avoiding your TBR… Looking for another book to read instead? I know many of you are in self-isolation/ social-distancing/ physical-distancing or whatever else you’re choosing to call it and there is either is too many on your bookshelf to read, or not enough. Never fear! I’ve made a list of 5 books by Australian authors to support the locals, based on what you’re feeling at the time. Please let me know if you liked this […]

March TBR, because I finished my Jan TBR!

March 2, 2020February 27, 2020

Hai Spicy Hoomans! Yes, I said Jan TBR. I’m a slow reader. Since I left for Korea at the end of November 2019, till the end of January 2020 I read a total of 2.2 novels. I DNF’d a novel too (hence the .2) which made it a truly sad two months when it came to reading. Because of this, I didn’t make a TBR for February. Instead, in Feb I completed my January 2020 TBR, which was really just […]

My January 2020 TBR Sucks!

January 18, 2020January 19, 2020

Hai Spicy Hoomans! Yeah, I said it! I have been in a reading slump all December because I’d caught the travel bug which, if you have travelled, takes up a lot of your time and energy, leaving little room for reading. Good news is, I’m back and ready to smash through my TBR; bad news, my TBR is still stuck in 2019. I couldn’t just waltz into the first month of a new year, let alone a new decade without […]

The Last TBR For 2019!

December 3, 2019December 4, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! December TBR! December has hit and hit us hard. Seoul transitioned quickly into winter, the temperature dropping from a mild 10 degrees Celcius to a blistering -4 and snow which was epic to see falling from the sky. Melbourne weather seems to have not adjusted so well to the change (as it does) and isn’t going to treat its citizens to a Summer for another week. I’m not going to say I wasn’t prepared. Everyone is always shocked […]

An October TBR For Those Who Only Want A Little Spook.

October 13, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! Only a little spook this October! While just about everyone else but me loves the spooky season, I’ve never been one to celebrate it. Top it off with the fact that I can’t stand horror movies and I’m scared of the dark and you have someone who doesn’t look at her October TBR much differently from any other month. In fact, this year is the only year thus far in my 20 years of what we call life, […]

A Teeny Tiny September 2019 TBR

August 31, 2019September 1, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! A SINGULAR BOOK (or 2)! I didn’t get around to posting on Wednesday as I was trying to construct a huge post whilst being run down by impending assignments, so today I have planned a quick post to discuss my September TBR. The books on the agenda for this month are very minimal. This doesn’t count to the TBR, but I want to finish reading Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte of which was the third book on my […]

August TBR 2019!

August 10, 2019August 12, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! Fantasy TBR Time! I know I promised a Wednesday post, but while writing it, I had a slight existential crisis and didn’t finish it… So on-brand for me. I have had these four books sitting on my desk for a month in anticipation for this TBR, and I finally get to read them! After reading a bunch of contemporaries and urban fantasies in the last couple of months, I have this urge to get back into reading fantasy/ […]

July TBR 2019

July 8, 2019July 8, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! Think of July as an extended version of June. Like June but with 61 days! I’ve posted my TBR for June early last month and I planned to read an unrealistic 8 or so books. I knew it was never going to work out, but I tried anyway and managed to read 3.5 books. This month I am continuing that TBR (because I’m committed af) but also ambitious because, in addition to the books photographed, I have 2 […]

That’s why this month, I have gotten on board with The YA Room‘s Rainbow TBR Challenge.

April TBR!

April 8, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! This feels like a late TBR… I’ve been so slow in my reading progress lately. So in light of not having finished Underdog edited by Tobias Madden and my little internal crisis of not having put out a TBR for this month, I am currently 3 stories into Underdog, the 12 short story anthology edited by Tobias Madden. Meet and Greet by Michael Earp Breathe Me In by Sophie L. Macdonald Chemical Expression by Jes Layton I interviewed Jes […]
