Happy Monday lovely readers! I hope this week brings happiness in these uncertain times and that everyone's staying safe šŸ’› I'm utterly thrilled to be sharing my review for @talltales_poppynwosu #TakingDownEvelynTait as part of the @ausyabloggers review tour hosted in partnership with @wakefieldpress (thank you for sending me a beautiful finished copy for review and thank you Poppy for personalising it šŸ’›) my review is now live on my blog: https://wp.me/p82sSb-tG ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­If youā€™re looking for a wonderful Young Adult Contemporary novel with a brilliantly distinctive fresh voice then you do not want to missĀ Taking Down Evelyn Tait!Ā I absolutely adored this book right from the start and constantly felt engaged with Lottie as a narrator and definitely just found myself procrastinating finishing readingĀ Taking Down Evelyn TaitĀ because I just wanted to stay wrapped up in Lottieā€™s life! I just adore her character so much, Poppy Nwosu just breathes such life into her creations and I felt like everyone had such a refreshing voice and personality throughout this book! Her character development was completely fabulous, too! Thereā€™s so many fun and completely memorable scenes throughout this book, from the Principal visits that Lottie frequents, to her stealthily climbing onto her oldest friend Judeā€™s balcony (seriously I adored Jude!) to Lottie discovering her eternal crush on heartthrob Sebastian may not be what she imagined, to Lottie and Graceā€™s utterlly divine best friend banter and excitement about Grace sharing a new word of the day for Lottie to ponder over the meaning, just everything about this brilliantly vivid YA novel should be celebrated! #bookgeek #read #igreads #loveozya #readlocal #igbooks #bookishfeatures #bookreview #bookstagrammer #booklove #reader #bookblogger #bookandflowers #instabooks #bookaddict #book #instaread #books #instareads #wakefieldpress #booklover #bookphotography #ausbookstagram

Hey readers šŸ‘‹ I hope everyone's staying safe during these cautious times šŸ’›šŸ’› what was the last book you've finished? Last night I finished #TheLionessWakes by @venturapress_ and my full review is now live on my blog: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2020/03/23/book-review-the-lioness-wakes-by-blanche-dalpuget/ ā­ā­ā­The Lioness Wakes is the fourth installment in Blanche d'Alpuget's historical saga about the rise of the Plantagenet family, with feuding married couple Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine at the helm of this story. I must admit, I hadn't actually read any of the previous instalments of this series, however I feel like it didn't affect my understanding of anything that was going on throughout the story, nor did it make me confused about any of the characters or their actions throughout the book! The Lioness Wakes does not delay from starting off with a huge bang! It begins with a death of huge significance, one that definitely sets the foundation for the rest of the book and it was definitely intriguing throughout reading about all of the impact and feelings that everyone was dealing with and how conflicted some people were after what had occured! Especially where Henry and Eleanor are concerned, with people starring to doubt both the King and Queen in lieu of what's been happening and who may have been behind the execution, who can trust who? Who is safe? #venturapress #blanchedalpuget #bookreviewer #bookblogger #becauseofreading #bookgeek #bookish #instabooks #bookstagrammer #ausbookstagram #bookphotography #instabook #bookaddict #goodreads #bookporn #booklove #bookstagram #ilovebooks #instareads #historicalfiction #booksinnature #ipreview via @preview.app

Good evening lovelies šŸ¤—with these days being dreary and miserable it's high time to celebrate the exciting things! Such as @oodelallyinspirations utterly fabulous booksleeves! šŸ˜ I just adore their Mister Kindly sleeve - it fits paperbacks AND hardcovers, what more can we ask for? šŸ˜ Also guess who desperately still needs to read #Darkdawn by @misterkristoff ? It me šŸ’ā€ā™€ļø I have been long excited but I'm still TERRIFIED šŸ™Š #ausbookstagram #booksleeve #oodelallyinspirations #misterkindly #bookstagram #bookishmerch #bookgeek #booklover #igbooks #instareads #booklover #bookish #biblio #bookdragon #bookstagrammer #bookishlife
#Herstory - Australia's HerStory Campaign! We're celebrating Women Who Rebel and don't fit the moulds of regular society what's expected of them - and honestly I could not be more excited to share my thoughts on the wonderful book that is The Daughter of Victory Lights by @kerriturner_author! The Daughter of Victory Lights is hands down one of the greatest Historical Fiction novels I've read and definitely a new favourite of mine! A huge thank you to @harlequinaus for sending me an ARC of this beautiful book to read and review. My full ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ is now live on my blog: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2020/03/16/herstory-campaign-book-review-the-daughter-of-victory-lights-by-kerri-turner/ I've never read anything like this before, these women, these performers who refused to hide behind aprons and retreat into the kitchen and settle back into the domestic wifely duties as women were expected to after the horrors of World War II. Kerri Turner's wonderful creation Evelyn Bell definitely is not one of these women though, and honestly I just admired her so much for it! Evelyn, who has seen all sorts of horrors from being a part of a team of all female searchlight regiment team, who are charged with the roles of protecting Londoners from German bombers. It was absolutely terrifying and and dangerous yet completely admirable what Evelyn and her teammates had to go through, being haunted by those lives that were taken - during the War. I mean yes, Evelyn is definitely helping her country and of course relishes the relief that comes with the war being over, but what she and everyone was exposed to would definitely leave a mark on anyone. There was never a point throughout The Daughter of Victory Lights where my admiration for Evelyn didn't cease, truly. She's just such a fabulous character and so bold and brave and selfless, truly and I love how she just was yearning for such a life outside of what was expected of women during these times! Evelyn Bell is definitely a character to admire and one I'll be thinking about (as well as The Daughter of Victory Lights) for a long time to come! I can't wait to see what Kerri Turner will write next! šŸ˜
This Sweetheart candle from @thebookishbeanco is as sweetly scented as it sounds! It's utterly divine šŸ˜ I can't wait to light it though (and I feel perhaps I'm not the only one?) who sometimes hoards allll the bookish candles but is reluctant to light them? šŸ˜¹ However, if you fancy anything from Elissa's fabulous store then why not treat yourself šŸ˜‰ and use BROOKLYN10 for a discount šŸ¤— #bookishbeanco #bookishmerch #ausbookstagram #candleaddict #smallbusiness #booklover #igreads #supportsmallbusiness #instaread #localbusiness #easterlillies #bookish #bookporn #bookgeek #ausbookstagram
Good morning lovely readers! Today I'm utterly thrilled to be sharing my review for the fabulous short story collection that is #LookingGlass šŸ™Šā™„ļø this beauty is hitting shelves May 1st in Australia and it's a huge thank you to @newsouthbooks for sending me a copy of this collection of wonderfully dark, immersive and utter fantastical short stories which plunge readers into Christina Henry's 'Alice' and 'Red Queen' - however, I fully disclose that I haven't actually read 'Alice' and found 'Looking Glass' to be such a unique reading experience that was unlike no other! You can find my full review live on my blog here: Good morning lovely readers!

I feel very fortunate to only be at the start of my journey falling down the wonderful, eerie rabbit hole (see what I did there?!) that is Christina Henry's works and I absolutely cannot wait to read more, let alone go back to where it all began with Alice! Looking Glass has just given me such a refreshing reading experience I daresay I will not find in another book for some time, just so unique and vivid! #newsouthbooks #titanbooks #bookreviewtour #bookreview #reviewsneedlovetoo #prettybooks #bookreviewer #easterlillies #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #instaread #goodreads #christinahenry #bookaddict #igbooks #bookstagram #aliceinwonderland #bookgeek #author #bookaholic #bookblogger #fantasybooks #reading #bookish #bookishfeatures #bibliophile #read #booknerd #ipreview via @preview.app
Let's talk favourite fictional bookworms ā˜ŗļø who are your favourites? One of mine of course is the one and only Rory Gilmore šŸ˜Œ she's just so bookish and relatable šŸ˜ same with Hermione Granger and I love that Celaena Sardothien reads so avidly too! @thebookishbeanco has your bookworm-esque candle needs sorted with this lovely Rory Gilmore themed candle which exudes a gorgeous Chai scent šŸ˜Œ if you fancy your own then why not use BROOKLYN10 for a cheeky discount šŸ˜Œ #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookishcandles #candleaddict #booklover #booknerdigans #bookish #bookgeek #localbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #adelaidesmallbusiness #candlelove #roses #gilmoregirls #rorygilmore #ausbookstagram #bookporn #bookishlife
Good morning #booklovers ā˜ŗļø last night I finished #TheTwin by @authornatashapreston (with a huge thanks to @penguinbooksaus / @penguinteenaus for sending me a copy to review) - my full review is now live on my blog: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2020/03/09/book-review-the-twin-by-natasha-preston/ ā­ā­ā­ā­Having just finished The Twin only last night, I'm definitely processing a lot of thoughts and feelings! Straight off the cuff, Natasha Preston's writing completely drew me in and I was completely immersed in Ivy's life! I felt so sad for her, having to cope with the recent death of her beloved Mother whom she always adored and often missed as it was Ivy who lived with her Father once her parents split up. However, enter Iris, Ivy's identical twin sister, who comes to live with Ivy and their Father after tragedy strikes. What follows is a sequence of events that ensure nothing can or will ever be quite the same for Ivy! I cannot urge you all enough to read The Twin, honestly if there is a YA Thriller that I need a sequel for (aside from Foul Is Fair), then it is absolutely The Twin! It would just be a revenge novel of epic proportions with discoveries and reveals to be found aplenty! I'm finding the idea of it happening so satisfying already so I am really keeping my fingers crossed! #penguinteenaus #penguinbooksaus #bookreview #reviewsneedlovetoo #ausbookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookblogger #natashapreston #thetwin #booksinnature #booklover #instabooks #aussiereaders #author #bookish #bookworm #igreads #bookphotography #bookgeek #ilovebooks #becauseofreading #bookdragon #fortheloveofbooks #ipreview via @preview.app
This week was such an exciting week for new releases! Havenfall, Crescent City and Chain of Gold all gracing the world on the same day šŸ˜» Chain of Gold has been one of my most anticipated releases for a looong time now so you can only imagine my sheer joy when this beautiful #gifted copy from @walkerbooksaus - when it turned up and I opened the box and saw it sat there I froze for like 5minutes šŸ™Š I cannot wait to read this beautyā™„ļø Sypnosis: 'Cordelia Carstairs is a Shadowhunter, a warrior trained since childhood to battle demons. When her father is accused of a terrible crime, she and her brother travel to Edwardian London in hopes of preventing the familyā€™s ruin. Cordeliaā€™s mother wants to marry her off, but Cordelia is determined to be a hero rather than a bride. Soon Cordelia encounters childhood friends James and Lucie Herondale and is drawn into their world of glittering ballrooms, secret assignations, and supernatural salons, where vampires and warlocks mingle with mermaids and magicians. All the while, she must hide her secret love for James, who is sworn to marry someone else. But Cordeliaā€™s new life is blown apart when a shocking series of demon attacks devastate London. These monsters are nothing like those Shadowhunters have fought before ā€“ these demons walk in daylight, strike down the unwary with incurable poison, and seem impossible to kill. London is immediately quarantined. Trapped in the city, Cordelia and her friends discover that their own connection to an dark legacy has gifted them with incredible powers ā€“ and force a brutal choice that will reveal the true cruel price of being a hero.' #shadowhunters #chainofgold #cassandraclare #thelasthours #bookstagram #ausbookstagram #bookandflowers #bookish #bibliophile #booknerdigans #bookaddiction #aussiereaders #booklover #bookishlife #prettybooks #fortheloveofbooks #cassieclare #ipreview via @preview.app

Today is Saturday which means it's time for #77Saturday with @ausyabloggers - essentially you pick up a book, any book, and turn to page 77 (77% if you're reading from an e-reader), and pick an excerpt and share it along with your thoughts ā˜ŗļø I'm on a review tour which is currently taking place with @newsouthbooks / @titanbooks celebrating Christina Henry's completely dark and immersive fantasy novels! My posting date for the blog tour is next Friday where I shall be gushing about the forthcoming short story collection "Looking Glass" but for now, let's talk #TheMermaid and turn to page 77.... "Let them think of me as a witch if it makes them happy," Amelia said. "I won't wear a bonnet just to please them." Okay so I'm intrigued! Looking Glass is my first book of Christina Henry's and my Alice in Wonderland fangirl self as so many questions! But I also absolutely cannot wait to read 'The Mermaid' šŸ˜» Have you read Christina Henry? She's touring Australia for #Supanova which is super exciting! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Adelaide is on the list šŸ¤žšŸ˜¬ and the review tour starts today šŸ˜» #bookstagram #ausbookstagram #newsouthbooks #fantasybooks #christinahenry #themermaid #ausyabloggers #bookandflowers #bookblogger #books #bookphotography #ilovebooks #goodreads #booknerd #bookaddict #booksofinstagram #bookaholic #ipreview via @preview.app
It's the happiest of book birthdays to #Havenfall by the amazing @sarahollandwrites šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰ this beautiful YA Portal Fantasy in all its glory is out in the world today! šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰ My full review is now live on my blog: https://wp.me/p82sSb-te A huge thank you to @bloomsburypublishing @bloomsburyya for sending me a beautiful ARC of Havenfall, hands down one of my favourite reads of the year, to read and review šŸ˜ ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­We all want somewhere to belong, really. Somewhere that feels like home, or a home away from home, where if weā€™re feeling like things in our everyday lives are amiss and weā€™re needing to find that solace, that sense of belonging.Ā HavenfallĀ is exactly that for Maddie, our main character of this exceptionally sweeping story filled with magic, wonder, curiosity and a fair amount of suspense! Those plot twists throughout as well constantly kept me on my toes, right from the start and right through to the end! I honestly couldā€™ve no way envision how this story would unfold! Initially, I absolutely adored Maddie as a main character. I just couldnā€™t help but just feel so sad for her, sheā€™s faced with so much personal tragedy, not being able to shake the tragic events of that night that changed everything for her familyā€¦honestlyĀ HavenfallĀ is just such an incredible journey of a book, I still canā€™t get over those reveals! Just when I thought one apparent truth was surfacing to light, another truth would knock everything askew! Everything about this book is just brilliant, itā€™s just so fantastical and enthralling and as I mentioned of course, immersive! I felt like I could visualise everything that I was reading and now having finished it, I almost feel at quite a loss! Sufficed it to say, IĀ cannotĀ recommendĀ HavenfallĀ enough! Itā€™s a journey unlike no other! #bookstagram #ireadya #booknerdigans #yalit #bookaholic #bookstagram #goodreads #bookish #bookporn #booklover #saraholland #bloomsburypublishing #bloomsburyya #instabooks #aussiereaders #bookreviews #bookblogger #beach #reviewsneedlovetoo #becauseofreading
Happy Monday lovely readers! So many new releases coming tomorrow šŸ˜» who else is too excited for Crescent City and Chain of Gold? šŸ˜»šŸ˜»šŸ˜» I have a new review on my blog which is the brilliant Disney novel 'Poor Unfortunate Soul' which can be found here on my blog: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2020/03/02/book-review-poor-unfortunate-soul-by-serena-valentino/ (Thank you @scholastic_au for sending me a copy of this book to read and review). ā­ā­ā­ā­Iā€™m all for stories told from theĀ villainsĀ point of view! Furthermore, Iā€™m all for an origin story about why a specific character became so rooted in their evil ways- granted, I absolutely adore Ariel and have since childhood, but Ursula has always been a character that I often wondered about. Why is she just so set in her vengeful ways?Ā I really think Serena Valentino has done a fabulous job showcasing Ursulaā€™s torment from her early years, just how she depicts her true feelings of only ever being wanting to be loved and accepted by her Brother, the almighty King Triton, but when he recoils at her true form and calls her horrible and hurtful names and verbally attacks her in such an awful fashion, well really itā€™s no wonder that sheā€™s so consumed with a fiery vengeance!! Poor Unfortunate SoulĀ takes place duringĀ The Little MermaidĀ canon, the story that we all know and love! Thereā€™s also some brilliant characters that the Author wove into the story too, some characters crossing over from otherĀ DisneyĀ tales, such as Maleficent and even Snow White had a mention too! Well, not exactly Snow White herself but the trademark poison apple which was a remnant of her Wicked Stepmotherā€™s initial malicious actions, which seemingly proved to turn out to be sacrificial! The way Serena Valentino incorporated these aspects into her story was just really clever, as it felt like everyone was slightly tied together and interconnected! Overall, I definitely recommendĀ Poor Unfortunate Soul!Ā Itā€™s a fun, engaging story that is definitely compelling and completely written so vividly that I could easily picture everything unfold in my mind as if it was watching aĀ DisneyĀ movie!
Evening lovely readers šŸ‘‹ I hope everyone has had a fabulous weekend! Today saw YA Day come to #ADLWW today and the one and only @amiekaufmanauthor was one of the amazing authors to speak to us!

Truly, I could listen to her stories (both truth and fictional, all day long!) šŸ˜» #amiekaufman #adelaidewritersweek2020 #selfie #booknerd #instabooks #bookaddict #bookishfeatures #becauseofreading #books #author #aussiereaders #bookish #bookishlife #bookgeek #booknerdigans
Good morning lovely readers! What is everyone up to today? A huge thank you to the team at @venturapress__ for sending me the next installment in Blanche d'Alpuget's Plantagenet series! I have long been so curious about her fictional writing, so I can't wait to read this ASAP! Speaking of, I'm super excited to see Blanche herself later today at SA Writer's Week! She's always struck me as such a fascinating woman, so I'm excited to hear her stories later today šŸ˜» Sypnosis from Ventura Press: England, 1171. Thomas Becket is dead, beheaded at the altar of Canterbury Cathedral. As news of his assassination spreads across the country and into Europe, Henryā€™s reputation as a just and mighty king begins to disintegrate. Eleanor, no longer loyal, nor in awe of her husband, instigates the revolt she has craved for yearsā€”with Henryā€™s three eldest sons as her allies against their father. Yearning to dethrone him and to gain power and liberty for herself, she beings to stir trouble at court. But when Henry discovers the plot, will Eleanor be strong enough to withstand his outrage? The punishment for treason is death. And what of the empire they have built togetherā€”can it survive when the royal family are at each otherā€™s throats? The fourth book in the illustrious Birth of the Plantagenets series delves into the feud between the spouses Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II, painting the portrait of an empire steeped in conflict, treachery, and wild gambling for power. #blanchedalpuget #thelionesswakes #venturapress #read #bookstagram #readersgonnaread #bookblogger #igbooks #instabooks #booklover #bookphotography #booknerdigans #booksoutside #reading #bookstagramfeature #books #booklove #bookaddict #historicalfiction #plantagenets #historybooks #bookblogger #bookblog
