A huge thank you to @bloomsburypublishing for sending these three books my way to review 🤗 I'm very intrigued by them all and look forward to starting them ASAP! Sypnosis below, respectively: "The Blessed Girl" - Young, beautiful and ambitious, Bontle Tau has Johannesburg wrapped around her finger. Her generous admirers are falling over themselves to pay for her Mercedes, her penthouse, and her Instagrammable holidays. It's her duty to look fabulous – after all, people didn't sacrifice their lives in the freedom struggle for black women to wear the same cheap T-shirts they wore during apartheid. Bontle's come a long way, and it hasn't been easy. Her shrink keeps wanted to talk about a past she's put firmly behind her. And what she doesn't think about can't hurt her, can it? "Never Have I Ever" - It starts as a game at a book group one night. Never Have I Ever... done something I shouldn't. But Amy Whey has done something she shouldn't. And Roux, the glamorous newcomer to Amy's suburban neighbourhood, knows exactly what that is. Roux promises she will go away – if Amy plays by her rules. But Amy isn't prepared to lose everything. She's going to fight back, and in this escalating game of cat and mouse, there can be only one winner. "The Truants" - Jess Walker, middle child of a middle class family, has perfected the art of vanishing in plain sight. But when she arrives at a concrete university campus under flat, grey, East Anglian skies, her world flares with colour. Drawn into a tightly-knit group of rule breakers – led by their maverick teacher, Lorna Clay – Jess begins to experiment with a new version of herself. But the dynamic between the friends begins to darken as they share secrets, lovers and finally a tragedy. Soon Jess is thrown up against the question she fears most: what is the true cost of an extraordinary life? Happy reading, all 💛 #bookstagram #bookish #bookblogger #booklover #bookreviewer #thetruants #neverhaveiever #theblessedgirl #booknerdigans #booksinthewild #bookaddiction #bookdragon #readabook #bibliophile #aussiereaders #bookandflowers #bookgeek
A huge thank you to @harpercollinsaus for sending me a proof of "What Happens Now" by Sophia Money-Coutts to read and review! My review will go live closer to publication (24th August in Australia), so stay tuned for that 🤗 but I will say that I love this book so much! I found it so refreshing and honest, I practically finished it in one sitting yesterday! It follows out main character, Lils, who barely earns enough income at her job teaching prestigious schoolboys (we're talking sons of princes, tycoons, the like), but after one fateful encounter and a rendezvous later, she finds out she's pregnant! What unfolds is such an enjoyable, addictive and wholly memorable story! I'm already hoping that the author revisits these characters🥰 #sophiamoneycoutts #whathappensnow #bookstagram #harpercollinsaustralia #harlequinbooks #bookstagram #bookreviewer #bookblogger #bookblog #bookandflowers #booksinthewild #bookish #booklover #bookaddiction #readabook #booklife #aussiereaders #bookgram #bookphotography #readerlife #ipreview via @preview.app
You can find my 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ review of this very witchy first installment of the "Palace of Fires" trilogy now live on my blog here: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2019/08/18/book-review-initiate-palace-of-fires-book-1-by-bill-bennett/ A huge thank you to @penguinteenaus for sending me a copy of this book (and the following two) to read and review! I was definitely pleasantly surprised by how fast paced and addictive I found this book! I initially adored Lily, our main character and I was so excited as the plot unfolded and she realised her potential destiny! I didn't find any part of this book boring or dull, there were actually some moments that had me chuckling (between Kritta and The Hag), both of whom have such a lack of tolerance for one another! I couldn't wait to see how each point of narration would intertwine and I definitely feel like it has set up for a completely thrilling second installment, which I'll be reading very soon! #bookstagram #billbennett #initiate #palaceoffires #bookworm #booknerdigans #yalit #ireadya #yabooks #aussiereaders #bibliophile #lavender #penguinbookaus #penguinteenaus #bookstagrammer #readerlife #bookblogger #bookreviewer #readabook #booktography #ipreview via @preview.app
A huge thank you @penguinteenaus for sending me The Palace of Fires trilogy by Bill Bennett to read and review! The third installment of this supernaturally-spooky and altogether witchy series releases on the 3rd of September! (Which is also the birthday of yours truly) - I am almost halfway through the first book in this trilogy and I feel like its definitely unlike anything I've read before! I like our main character, Lily - I'm looking forward to reading about how her character develops- and there's a character (The Hag) who makes it plainly obvious that she doesn't like children- she's quite ruthless against those who irk her, I find myself chuckling at her antics! There's quite a few changing POV's throughout this book too, but I'm definitely intrigued to read on!! #billbennett #theinitiate #palaceoffires #yafantasy #penguinteenaus #penguinbooks #bookstagram #lovetoread #bookaddict #bookandflowers #aussiereaders #bookblogger #bookreviewer #igbooks #bookish #bookgeek #booknerdigans
My review for this incredibly endearing, very sweet but wholly impactful middle grade book is now live on my blog here: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2019/08/16/book-review-mika-and-max-by-laura-bloom/ A huge thank you to @walkerbooksaus for sending me a copy of this book to review! For me, "Mika and Max" is all about finding friendship when one is feeling most alone and that friendship may not always be communicated in the clearest ways for everyone. Max, one of our titular characters has Autism and is non-verbal in his communications (author Laura Bloom based this on her own young son) and I just could not put this story of him and Mika, a thirteen year old girl, down! I definitely think everyone needs to read and enjoy this book 🥰 #bookstagram #catstagram #blackcatsofinstagram #middlegradebooks #mikaandmax #laurabloom #booksinnature #bibliophile #bookish #walkerbooksaustralia #booknerdigans #booklover #lovetoread #bookblogger #bookblog #bookpic #readabook #bookporn #bookreviewer #bookgeek #aussiereaders #aussiebookgroup #ipreview via @preview.app
I'm thrilled to be a part of an upcoming blog tour with @macmillanaus celebrating this super exciting, thrilling and wholly vast historical fantasy "The Harp of Kings" by Juliet Marillier 🤴 It's one of my current reads and I'm really enjoying it so far! I don't want to say too much until my review posting date (3rd of September, also my 26th birthday) but I definitely think all you fantasy lovers will enjoy being indulged with Marillier's spectacular lore 😍 Peppy is rather attached to it already, too. 😻 #julietmarillier #aharpofkings #bookstagram #catstagram #bookreviewer #bookblogger #historicalfantasy #booknerdigans #aussiereaders #aussiebookgroup #panmacmillanaustralia #macmillanaus #bookwyrms #booklover #ilovereading #blackcatsarethebest #blackcatsaregoodluck #blackcatclub #bookish #ipreview via @preview.app

Happy Wednesday lovely bookish souls! Who else has read and loved "The Book Ninja" by @aliandmichelle ? I've not yet read their books but I'm super hyped up to do so soon! I saw this UK edition go on sale on Book Depository and I couldn't resist ordering! The Book Ninja and While You Were Reading are definitely high on my TBR and I'm looking forward to reading them ☺️ Thank you @geekybookgirl2 for the #ReadingHabits bookish tag!! 🤗🤗 🥀 Do you read one book at a time? Ahahahahaha....no. Have rarely been able to focus on just the one! Anyone else? 🥀 Where Do You Read? In bed, on the couch, on the stairs, in the garden, anywhere and everywhere 😸 🥀 Read the book or watch the movie first? I try and read the book first when I can, though I admit it definitely hasn't always worked that way 🤔 for example, I saw the movie Paper Towns before reading the book (which I subsequently DNF'ed many moons ago!). #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #bibliophile #thebookninja #aussiereaders #coverlove #aliberg #michellekalus #bookandflowers #cozybooks #booksbooksbooks #ilovereading #booknerdigans #booktography #ipreview via @preview.app
My four star ⭐⭐⭐⭐ review of "Call It What You Want" by @brigidkemmerer is now live on my blog and Goodreads, links in linktree (in my bio), blog link also here: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2019/08/12/book-review-call-it-what-you-want-by-brigid-kemmerer/ (Review copy provided by @bloomsburypublishing) in exchange for an honest review. I adored this story of Maegan and Robert, two teenagers on the cusp of their own devastation and surprises, Rob being the former star hot shot sporty student, now not even having a head turn in his direction unless it's to utter how horrible he is or how he must have been working with his Dad (who was caught embezzling funds). Then we have Maegan, who feels like she's carrying the weight of her family drama on her shoulders...I just wanted to reach into the pages and hug both of them!! I absolutely admire Maegan's loyalty to her sister, who finds herself in a slightly tricky situation, but I just love how Maegan stuck with her! And I really enjoyed her interactions with Robert, as the two became known to one another and their scenes developed, it was just so feely reading about their learned perception of one another. I also really enjoyed how Brigid Kemmerer used the theme of right and wrong throughout the novel, I found myself really feeling and sensing how weighed down Robert felt by his father's actions, wanting people to know he isn't his Father! Sufficed it to say, I'm super excited to pick up another Brigid Kemmerer book ASAP! 💕 #bookstagram #bookish #yalit #yacontemporary #callitwhatyouwant #brigidkemmerer #bibliophile #aussiereaders #bookandflowers #booknerdigans #bookaddict #lovetoread #readingislife #bookphoto #bloomsburypublishing #ireadya #ipreview via @preview.app

All of the stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 thank you again to the lovely @typedtruths for gifting me a copy of this wonderful book 💕🥰 #themedoranchronicles #akarnae #lynettenoni #loveozya #panterapress #yalit #yafantasy #ireadya #yalovin #bookish #lavender #booksinnature #bibliophile #readabook #bookcommunity #bookdragon #bookwyrms #coverlove #aussiereaders #lovetoread #ilovereading #favouritebooks #ipreview via @preview.app
The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell is out in the world as of yesterday!! This is one of the most compelling, engaging and unputdownable mysteries that I've read in a good while! Thank you so much @penguinbookaus for sending me an Uncorrected Proof of this book to read and review! My review is now live here: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2019/08/06/book-review-the-family-upstairs-by-lisa-jewell/ I cannot express how brilliant this book is! I remember starting it and just thinking I'd read the first few chapters to get a feel for the story but 100 pages in and I was well and truly hooked! Not only is the premise spooky in itself, an infant baby found at a murder scene, but we are then presented with 3 points of narration (each of which added a wholly brilliant aspect to the story AND the mystery!) - honestly, I'm already itching to read Lisa Jewell's other books ASAP! 😍 #penguinbooksaustralia #thefamilyupstairs #lisajewell #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookblogger #bookblog #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookish #booknerdigans #crimefiction #thrillerfiction #thrillerbooks #readabook #bookdragon #booknerdigans #aussiereaders #aussiebookgroup #bookphotography #ipreview via @preview.app
Happy book birthday to "The Perfect Wife" by JP Delaney! Thank you to @hachetteaus for sending me a proof copy of this book to read and review! You can now find my review live on my blog here: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2019/08/05/book-review-the-perfect-wife-by-jp-delaney/ The Perfect Wife was such a compelling and mysterious page turner! I loved the unique storytelling format too of jumping from second person- as it felt like I was actually in Abbie's mindset, trying to piece together what happened to her before she supposedly returned from the cusp of death - could she really trust her husband, the seemingly perfect and devoted Tim? and the build up as Tim's work mate narrated in third person, gave me such a brilliant insight into what Tim was truly like, whether it was behind the scenes at his work as he relentlessly worked to build his dream, and also how he just grew to be infatuated and beyond obsessed with Abbie! Honestly though, there were twists aplenty in this one, I never saw some of the reveals coming and was definitely reeling throughout!! I gave The Perfect Wife ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #theperfectwife #jpdelaney #mysterybooks #thrillerfiction #hachetteaustralia #bookreview #bookblogger #booksoutside #bookandflowers #booksinnature #bibliophile #bookgeek #booknerdigans #bookish #bookdragon #bookaddiction #lovetoread #bookphotography #bookreviewer #readerlife #mybookstagram #bookporn #readabook #ipreview via @preview.app
The happiest of early book birthdays to "Is There Still Sex In The City?" (It releases TOMORROW!) I cannot tell you enough how much I enjoyed this refreshing and full of heart and often entertaining memoir from the admirable @candacebushnell ☺️💛 Thank you so much @hachetteaus for sending me s copy of this book to read and review!! My review is now live on my blog here: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2019/08/04/book-review-is-there-still-sex-in-the-city-by-candace-bushnell/ I've longtime been a fan of Candace Bushnell's work- from her young adult novels "The Carrie Diaries" to her fabulously well known and loved "Sex in the City" but this memoir may just have to be my favourite book that she's written yet! 😍 I just found myself starting this book last Sunday and finishing it a couple of hours later! So to say I couldn't put it down is completely correct!! I just found myself drawn into Candace's writing so much! I love how open and honest it read, from her talking about her friends to having a discussion about the notorious dating app, Tinder. I would actually read excerpts of this section aloud to my Mum, and we'd discuss everyone's thoughts and the sheer relatable nature of it all!! Such a fun, refreshing and emotive read that I can't recommend enough! #candacebushnell #bookstagram #istherestillsexinthecity #bookblogger #bookreviewer #bookreview #memoirs #nonfiction #booksinnature #bookandflowers #aussiereaders #aussiebookgroup #hachetteaus #bookworm #read #booklove #bookaddict #bookish #bookstagrammer #readersofinstagram #readingissexy #instareads #ipreview via @preview.app
Hey bookworms!

Hello there readers!! I finished Wilder Girls last night (thank you so much @macmillanaus for providing me with a copy to review!) and oh my wow! You can find my full review now live on my blog here: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2019/08/03/book-review-wilder-girls-by-rory-power/ I've truly not read a book like this before and daresay I won't again! This was utterly bizarre and dark and twisted and mysterious and strange and I couldn't put it down! Essentially we have a group of girls who live in seclusion after The Tox has started to invade their lives, taking some altogether too. I cannot tell you enough how much I wanted and needed Hetty, Byatt and Reese to be okay and how the mystery elements and surprises were aplenty in this book!! I gave Wilder Girls ⭐⭐⭐⭐. #bookstagram #bookblogger #bookreviewer #booklover #booksandflowers #bookgeek #wildergirls #rorypower #yalit #ireadya #bookaholic #bookstagrammer #macmillanaus #bookreview #bookworm #readingcommunity #youngadultfiction #ipreview via @preview.app

What were the books that cemented your love of reading? For me, it'll always be Harry Potter that truly started the obsession, but prior to that..we're talking The Worst Witch, Emily Eyefinger, y'know? Happy Publication day to "Storytime" ☺️ this book is all about books that we've loved as a child!! I'm so thankful to @venturapress__ for providing me with a copy to review! It's on my tbr for this month and I honestly feel like this is my most anticipated non fiction book in a long time 😍 #bookstagram #booklover #venturapress #storytime #booksandflowers #aussiereaders #nonfictionbooks #booklover #booksbooksbooks #mybookstagram #bookblogger #bookreviewer #bookwyrms #bookgeek #bookaddiction #readerlife
What's a new series for you that you've only recently fallen in love with? For me it's The Medoran Chronicles by @lynettenoni 😍 I caved and started Akarnae this afternoon and I've been smiling like a goof ever since I started it! I'm so so addicted and wholly captivated by this glorious first installment in what's going to be an epic series!! 😍😍 I absolutely love Lynette Noni's vivid writing - and I adore her main character, Alex 💕 thank you so much to the lovely Rachel over at @typedtruths for gifting me a copy of Akarnae 🥰 #lynettenoni #bookstagram #themedoranchronicles #akarnae #yafantasy #ireadya #yalit #yabooks #booklover #daisies #bookandflowers #coverlove #bookaddiction #lovetoread #bibliophile #bookworm #bookdragon #aussiereaders #coverlove #epicbooks #booksinnature #bookporn
Happy Sunday book Dragons 🐲🐉 what book have you recently finished reading? I just finished the amazing "Toffee" by Sarah Crossan - you can find my review now live on my blog here: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2019/07/27/book-review-toffee-by-sarah-crossan/ I couldn't not give this book 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I just feel like the way Sarah Crossan captures these characters' emotions is just so raw and unique and truly unlike anything I've read before! I love how the book was lyrically woven in a poem format, it just added even more emotion and depth to this heart wrenching story! I love also the blooming bond between "Toffee" (Allie, who finds herself in the company of an elderly Marla, who, suffering with dementia, mistakes Allie for one of her closest friends) and just the journey and revelations throughout are so heart wrenching!! I definitely can't wait to read Sarah Crossan's other books now❤ #toffee #sarahcrossan #catstagram #bookstagram #bookish #bibliophile #bookworm #bookphotography #bookreviewer #bookblog #bookblogger #bookworms #booknerdigans #aussiebookgroup #yabooks #yalit #ireadya #bloomsburybooks #blackcatsarethebest #blackcatsaregoodluck #blackcatclub #bookaddiction #mybookstagram #bookporn
