Happy Sunday lovely readers 😌💛 I hope you've all been having a great weekend 😌 I have a new review live on my blog where I gush about how much I loved this book by @tldaaollf 😻 honestly it is gritty, it is dark and full of thirst for revenge but I couldn't get enough 😻 a huge thank you to @penguinbooksaus / @penguinteenaus for sending me an ARC of Foul Is Fair - my review can be found here: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2020/02/23/book-review-foul-is-fair-by-hannah-capin/ ⭐⭐⭐⭐Foul Is Fair is everything that a gritty revenge Thriller should be! (I should mention, trigger warnings for rape, paranoia and death of friends). I was instantly drawn into the world of Jade Khanjara and her coven, her closest friends that would honestly do anything for her, as they are hers and will fight to the bone with her! It's when Jade finds herself tragically being targeted by a group of seemingly perfect prep boys when she and her friends gate-crash one of their prep parties - that she finds herself forcibly drugged and raped. Naturally, Jade isn't having any of it. She vows revenge, and intricately plots the downfall of each of these guys that orchestrated the horror and torment that she was faced with! With her faithful Coven at her side and nothing but revenge and murder on her mind, Jade will stop at nothing to ensure that these guys are taken down! Fair Is Foul and Foul Is Fair! I'm not even going to pretend that I wasn't enjoying these rats get what they were owed, truthfully. Those horrific memories embedded in Jade's mind would've just been awful to have to constantly relive, so yes, definitely I wanted to see these horrible guys suffer! Oh, does Hannah Capin deliver! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #foulisfair #hannahcapin #bookreview #booksinnature #penguinbooksaus #penguinteenaus #bookphotography #bookporn #instaread #booklove #igreads #reading #bookblogger #instabooks #becauseofreading #booknerdigans #aussiereaders #igbooks #readersofinstagram #yalit #ireadya #yabooks #ipreview via @preview.app

Happy Saturday lovely readers! I am so excited to share my review for the absolute epic that is #EmberQueen (@just_perfiction I can't wait for our next buddy 💕) by @laurasebastian 😻 it's now live over on @thenerddaily website and can be found here: https://www.thenerddaily.com/ember-queen-by-laura-sebastian/ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Ember Queen was honestly such a perfect finale to the Ash Princess series and I feel like we’ve truly seen Theodosia truly grow, from the girl who lost her Mother and the Crown, to the girl who would fight to not only reclaim her lands but fight to keep those that are most dear to her safe. As soon as I started reading Ember Queen, I found myself vividly recalling everything that shockingly went down in Lady Smoke and I instantly felt like this was building up to an epic finale! Ember Queen definitely has become my favourite book of the Ash Princess series, I could not have hoped for a more emotional and wonderful, chilling, brilliant, wicked ending! Every moment saw twists and turns aplenty, honestly, Laura Sebastian has woven a finale of perfectly epic proportions. I held on to this book and these characters for as long as I could, but the constant wonderful pacing strung with emotions and brilliance just had me addicted at every turn. Theo definitely inspires me to be stronger, she’s an amazing main character! I’ll miss the world of Ash Princess but I cannot wait to see what Laura Sebastian writes next! If you’ve been thinking about picking up these books, do it! Thank you so much @macmillanaus for sending me a finished copy of Ember Queen to review 😻 #bookreviewer #bookblogger #beach #epicbooks #coverlove #ireadya #yalit #macmillanaus #emberqueen #laurasebastian #reviewsneedlovetoo #prettybooks #bookstagram #becauseofreading #amreading #reading #booklion #booklover #bookgeek #goodreads #bookworm #instaread #ipreview via @preview.app

What was the last book you read, and did you enjoy it? Last night I finished #LittleWhiteLies by Philippa East which was kindly sent to me for review from @harlequinaus / @harpercollinsaustralia 🤗 my full review is now live on my blog here: https://wp.me/p82sSb-t0 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Little White Lies is brilliantly written from, initially, the alternating points of view of Anne, Abigail's Mum, and of course her adoring cousin, Jess. I always enjoy multiple POVS and Little White Lies held no exception! It was really intriguing to read both points of view throughout, especially as the mystery of what really happened, not only as to the true identity of who kidnapped Abigail all those years ago, but what she really thought as she tried to adjust back into her home life, not being able to shake the unnerving words and lies that were fed to her by the man that took her away from her family for all those years. Throughout Anne's narration, we learn that she has some struggles adjusting to life with her beloved Abigail back, unable to quite accept that she's back, not sure how to react to her, unable to shake lies from the past. I really wondered what Anne couldn't face, I mean of course she thought she was doing right by cutting off Abigail's biological Father from her life, but those moments between Mother and Daughter reunited that just should be so tender were just so uncomfortable for both parties, Abigail not being able to hold back the fact that she thinks maybe her family weren't looking for her for all those years, that Jess can't accept that things aren't okay now just because she's back, honestly, Little White Lies was just embedded with lots of deep thoughts and heavy emotions and mystery that I really couldn't envison where it would lead next! #bookstagram #bookandflowers #philippaeast #aussiereaders #bookandflowers #harlequinaus #harpercollinsaustralia #bookgeek #reviewsneedlovetoo #bibliophile #booknerd #igreads #bookstagrammer #bookphotography #reader #becauseofreading #booklove #bookgeek #ilovebooks #booknerdigans #goodreads #thrillerfiction #aussiebookbloggers #ipreview via @preview.app

Happy Aus Publication day/ book birthday to the utterly wonderful #EmberQueen by the amazing @lauraksebastian 😻😻 I'm #currentlyreading this beauty alongside @just_perfiction 💕 and I'm LOVING it so so much! I was completely immersed in it as soon as I picked it up, remembering what went down in #LadySmoke 😱🙈 I can't wait to continue this beauty 😻 a huge thank you to the team at @macmillanaus for sending this beauty my way 😻 I'm super excited to review this for @thenerdaily too 😻 Synopsis: SMOKE CLEARS AND FLAMES DIE, BUT ONE BURNING EMBER CAN IGNITE A REVOLUTION. The thrilling conclusion to the bestselling Ash Princess trilogy. Princess Theodosia was a prisoner in her own country for a decade. Renamed the Ash Princess, she endured relentless abuse and ridicule from the Kaiser and his court. But though she wore a crown of ashes, there is fire in Theo's blood. As the rightful heir to the Astrean crown, it runs in her veins. And if she learned nothing else from her mother, she learned that a Queen never cowers. Now free, with a misfit army of rebels to back her, Theo must liberate her enslaved people and face a terrifying new enemy: the new Kaiserin. Imbued with a magic no one understands, the Kaiserin is determined to burn down anyone and everything in her way. With more at stake than ever, Theo must learn to embrace her own power if she has any hope of standing against the girl she once called her heart's sister. #amreading #bookaddict #currentlyreading #bookworm #books #bookblogger #bookgeek #literature #igbooks #instaread #bookstagram #shelfie #macmillanaus #amreading #bookporn #bookphotography #instareads #ilovebooks #aussiereaders #bookish #laurasebastian
Feast your eyes on this bundle of feels-inducing goodness! Why of course it is the Mini Edition of The Assassin's Blade by @therealsjm 💕 thank you so so much to @bloomsburypublishing / @bloomsburyya for gifting me the Throne of Glass Mini editions 😻 I finished reading The Assassin's Blade last night and if you think I might've gone ahead and re-reviewed this for the purpose of talking about alllll my infinite feelings once more...well then you're totally right 😌 my fangirl ramble is now live on my blog: https://wp.me/p82sSb-rS It’s amazing, isn’t it? Rereading a favourite book, falling back into the world of beloved characters. The Assassin’s Blade is a book I’ve loved many a time over and reading it in its wonderfully tiny miniature edition saw my 6th read of it! I remember when I first read The Assassin’s Blade, I absolutely adored Celaena Sardothien, shining Assassin, so fierce but equally fabulous! I love that she’s a bookworm, too! She enjoys the finer things in life but will not hesitate to end a life when justice isn’t being carried out or if she thinks someone deserves it! Yet, beneath her steely exterior, she’s quite fragile! She admits to Sam, her often competitor but more often than not total ally, that she’s a coward, but this is where Sam himself utters that phrase that breathes hope into Celaena when she needs it the most: “My name is Sam Cortland and I will not be afraid.”. It’s in this beautiful bundle of feelings that is The Assassin’s Blade miniature character edition that Sam Cortland’s name is highlighted in Avery River Teal Ink, honestly every time his name was mentioned I would get so emotional! Even though I knew exactly what was coming, as I read further into this book I would get goosebumps and feel fear all over again! It took me several months to finish this reread, purely for not wanting to finish it and have to accept that ending once again! It’s in this beautiful bundle of feelings that is The Assassin’s Blade miniature character edition that Sam Cortland’s name is highlighted in Avery River Teal Ink, honestly every time his name was mentioned I would get so emotional! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Good morning lovely readers! What's everyone been reading this weekend? I finished #TheGirlInThePainting by Tea Cooper as part of the #HerStory campaign with @harlequinaus 😻 essentially, this campaign showcases current and forthcoming releases all of which feature a strong female lead, ladies who ignore social politeness and aren't afraid to be heard! My review for 'The Girl in the Painting' is now live on my blog: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2020/02/09/herstory-campaign-book-review-the-girl-in-the-painting-by-tea-cooper/ The Girl in the Painting takes readers through 1913 Maitland, Australia, where Elizabeth Quinn and her brother Michael are well known, highly popular and a constant in the quiet town, living in the two-storey house near a little church, where they take care of business. Elizabeth Quinn has an absolute brilliant mind, often chairing the family business that her brother built up, working the ledgers immaculately. In those times it was considered unnatural for women to have a specific flair for numbers and business skills, but whilst Michael is considered the face of the business, Elizabeth, to me, was definitely the brains. I adored her character instantly! We also meet orphan Jane right at the start of this book, who has a talent for numbers too, a talent that doesn't go unnoticed by Elizabeth and Michael Quinn! Jane, who longs for more, is intrigued by the idea that women can indeed follow a career in numbers and is feeling rather blessed and excited for a chance at an exciting life after all! When Jane is taken from her rather miserable life at the orphanage, she definitely didn't believe she would be swept up in a saga of deceit and mystery! It all starts when Elizabeth Quinn, who's often described as very particular, no nonsense but equally thorough, crumples in the corner of the Art Gallery, moaning 'g'woam, g'woam!' What was causing this seemingly so self composed and dignified lady to crumble?! #bookstagram #womenwhorebel #reviewsneedlovetoo #harlequinaus #bookblogger #bookreview #bookgeek #ilovebooks #goodreads #becauseofreading #bookstagrammer #bookishfeatures #instareads #historicalfiction #booklove #bookporn #ocean
It's #77Saturday with @ausyabloggers 😻📚 essentially, what it is: - Pick up a book/e-reader - turn to page 77 or 77% if you're reading from an e-reader - pick an excerpt from page 77 and share it, along with your thoughts 😻 don't forget to link back and tag #AusYABloggers so we can share your posts around😻 My choice for today's 77 Saturday post is one of my recent book buys, #NightSwimming by #StephBowe ♥️ the excerpt I'm sharing is: 'We could sell alien-themed merchandise at the crop circle site,' I suggest. 'Screen-print some T-shirts.' Even though I've not read a Steph Bowe book as of yet, I'm really looking forward to doing so! I was so devastated to hear that she tragically passed away recently 😭 gone way too soon after a battle with cancer 😭 I couldn't help but feel like we lost a shining ray of light in the #LoveOzYA community when I heard, though her words and legacy definitely are shining through still ♥️💕 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #booklover #bibliophile #bookandflowers #igbooks #readerlife #bookishlife #igreads #bookporn #booknerdigans #reader #yalit #literature #bookblogger #ilovebooks #ipreview via @preview.app
It's a big hello and a very happy Friday from Peppy and I ☺️ the last few days have definitely been questionable with the utter lack of gas and hot water at home but that's definitely fixed now which is good 😌 yesterday I received my review copy of #BreakTheFall by @jennifercarolyn - thank you @ausyabloggers for having me on the forthcoming review tour later this month celebrating this book! Thank you in turn to the lovely team at @hachetteaus / @dateabook for providing me with a copy to read and review - if you've seen my IG story last night, Peppy is pretty fond of the book too 😻 Synopsis: A fiercely told survivorship novel about one girl's determination to push her body to win gold at the Olympics, and the power of uniting as women to speak out. The only thing seventeen-year-old Audrey Lee dreams about is swinging her way to Olympic glory. Nothing is going to stop her, not even the agony in her back. Every spasm and ache will be worth it once she has that gold medal around her neck. But none of her training prepares her for her coach being led away in handcuffs, accused by a fellow gymnast of the unthinkable. No one knows what, or who to believe and Audrey's teammates go into meltdown. As the Olympic torch closes in, Audrey has no idea who to trust, let alone what life holds after her final dismount. The only thing she can do is hope that in the end, belief in herself and what's left of her team, will be enough for gold. #bookstagram #catstagram #blackcatsarethebest #bookblogger #bookish #bibliophile #jenniferiacopelli #booknerdigans #reading #read #booklove #bookaholic #bookstagramfeature #igbooks #yalit #blackcatsaregoodluck #currentlyreading #ilovebooks #bookgeek #ipreview via @preview.app
Do you reread books? Not as often as I'd like but thanks to @walkerbooksaus I have been able to reread Scythe and will soon enough be diving into the Mind Blowing that is #Thunderhead very soon 🤯 My re-review for Scythe by @nealshusterman is now live on my blog: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2020/02/03/book-review-scythe-by-neal-shusterman-2/ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I first read Scythe in 2018 and was mesmerised by it! I felt like I hadn't ever come across anything of a similar vogue to it, set in a post-world environment where the world has exceeded max capacity, but the only fate is to be gleaned by a Scythe! I loved every moment of my reread!! When Citra and Rowan are selected to be apprentice Scythes under the guide of Scythe Michael Faraday, their lives as they collectively know them will not and cannot be the same!! For after their training, one must be ordained as a Scythe and then glean the other! Even though I knew what was coming, it was just so much fun to reread and go through all the anticipation again!! I utterly adore Scythes Faraday and Curie, in turn I adored Citra's bond with them both! Scythe Marie Curie, known as The Grand Dame Of Death, feared and admired by many, is honestly just such a brilliant mentor for Citra and I loved the close bond that formed between the two!! I just loved rereading about how Scythe Curie opens up to Citra and vise versa! What starts as a standoffish and hurt mindset from Citra (trust me, she has reasons though, I totally didn't blame her!) grows to a bond of pure trust and mutual admiration and respect! Dotted in between the chapters of this book are excerpts from the journals of Scythes Faraday, Curie, Goddard (*shudder*) and newly ordained Scythe Anastasia (*cheers*), which I absolutely loved! It was just fabulous getting into the conscious of these characters! Especially Curie, who will forever remain a stand out character to me! The Grand Dame of Death is full of heart, really. I mean she cooks dinner for the family of those whom she gleams! I cannot recommend the books enough! They're completely all kinds of wicked and epic!

HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY! 😻🎉🎈🎂I am so excited to share my review of this absolute gem of a #loveozya novel #TheGirlWithTheGoldBikini by @lisawalkerwriter - and a huge thank you to Poppy and the team at @wakefieldpress for providing me with a copy to read and review! I utterly adored this treasure and my review in full can be found on my blog: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2020/02/01/book-review-the-girl-with-the-gold-bikini-by-lisa-walker/ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I loved this book! It's so unique and full of fun, pop culture references aplenty and a wonderful main character with a plot that just kept me turning the pages! I absolutely adored Olivia Grace, I just found her to be so unique and carefree and love how she literally chased her dream of becoming a Private Investigator, choosing not to go on an extensive tour around Asia with her friends during a gap year, instead working with her childhood friend, Rosco, Olivia Grace living out her lifelong dream, being a literal Nancy Drew, hoping to solve all sorts of crimes and mysteries. Except, the work that Olivia Grace is assigned isn't quite as large scale as maybe she'd envision- a cheating husband, whale activism and a questionably shady Yoga Guru? What do all of these have in common? Why, you just need to read to find out! ;) I absolutely loved the mystery aspect of this book, I honestly had no idea what was coming! Even if I tried to guess who might have been at fault, say, for letting some rats (literally) run free mid yoga class, to a suspicious and potentially lifelike arm coming out of a real life shark's mouth, to a strange disappearance of a noted Yoga guru, it was just so much fun going along with Olivia Grace as she tried to piece things together as things became all the more intriguing and mysterious! #loveozya #thegirlwiththegoldbikini #lisawalker #bookreview #bookstagram #bookgeek #bookish #booklove #igbooks #wakefieldpress #bookblogger #bookreview #reviewsneedlovetoo #bibliophile #bookandflowers #bookishlife #reader #goodreads #ipreview via @preview.app
Feast your eyes on some cuteness 😍😍 I am wholly obsessed with the #ThroneOfGlass miniature character collection editions 😍😍 I am perhaps not surprisingly (for those who know how much Sam Cortland has my heart *cries* 🥺) at the latter part of the second to last story and oh, my heart is still not ready 🥺🙈 a huge thank you to @bloomsburypublishing / @bloomsburyya for sending me these tiny beauties to read and review 😍 #sarahjmaas #theassassinsblade #throneofglass #crownofmidnight #heiroffire #queenofshadows #empireofstorms #towerofdawn #kingdomofash #bookaddict #currentlyreading #bookporn #ilovebooks #instabooks #igreads #bookstagrammer #bookgeek #currentread #nowreading #bookstagramfeature #booksofinstagram #amreading #booknerdigans #reader #bookphotography #bookish #booklove #becauseofreading #booknerd via @preview.app
Happy Thursday lovely readers! What have we all been reading lately? Last night I picked up 'She' by HC Warner (thank you @harlequinaus & @harpercollinsaustralia for sending me an ARC to read and review) and my review is now live on my blog: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2020/01/30/book-review-she-by-hc-warner/ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ What can I say about She? I was instantly drawn into this story, my brain straight away wondering what in the name of Dickens was going on with this perfect woman, Bella, who's literally had a supposed random encounter with our main character, Ben. The narration of this book was actually really clever! The book itself is broken down into 4 parts, part one is of course narrated by Ben - see, he's a very likeable character! I felt sorry for him that Charlotte broke his heart, in turn, I felt bad for her that she may be lamenting breaking up with him. But of course, in saunters Bella, her unique but heart stopping beauty instantly drawing Ben to her. Initially, I thought she was totally genuine towards him, but honestly the way she was acting!! I didn't know what to think!! What I did know though, was that I needed to know what was really going on!! So much so, that I finished this book in one sitting!! I started it at 8:15pm thereabouts last night and here I am, 11:50pm, still reeling about what was revealed!! As Bella first meets Ben's parents, I felt like she was putting on some sort of farce...yet, I didn't quite know why?! Why?! definitely became a recurring feeling and question of mine as I was reading She. In Part One with Ben narrating, I definitely felt for him as he is faced with Bella announcing that she's pregnant and on top of that, that she wants to get married right away! I felt that it all seemed to be a bit quick, the night that they met was the night that Bella became pregnant...which I know does happen but I did briefly wonder if she had a prior rendezvous and was trying to say that Ben was the Father?! What triggered Bella's temper! I mean, she abuses Ben when he announced he's invited friends over, I get wanting to spend time with him but it was so horrible, she cuts him off from everyone in his life 😱 why?!
Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you're all having a great week so far filled with amazing reads 😍 I just finished this amazing book and honestly just loved every moment!! My review is now live on my blog: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2020/01/28/book-review-dont-read-the-comments-by-eric-smith/ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I absolutely adoredDon’t Read The Comments!It is an ode and celebration of geeky gaming culture and I loved every moment of it! I feel like there’s a lot to celebrate about this book!! Firstly, the characters are utterly amazing and just written so naturally!! They leapt off the page and their interactions just worked perfectly! I love how Divya knew she wasn’t going to back down after being faced with a brutal band of internet trolls, the Vox Populi, who practically want to ruin her! It’s utterly despicable that online trolls exist in the internet realm, I feel like this book deals with them so well and it just made me so mad, how dare the Vox Populi try and tear Divya and Becca down, let alone the fact that they egg Divya’s Mother! It’s just so horrible what this ruthless band of trolls put Divya through, but I cannot tell you how happy it made me that not once did she even consider backing down! The fact that they also bring her best friend down too, it just infuriates her even more and has her determined to stand against them!! And Divya has a wonderful armada crew behind her too, so I love how she was never truly alone in her fight!  I loved the intricate detail when this VR game was detailed! It’s a space exploration game where characters can build an avatar and explore the infinite galaxy and claim planets and when Divya slipped on her VR gear it felt like I was right there playing the game too! It was just so horrifying though when the Vox Populi try and tear her down and make it clear that they don’t want her playing games and that it’s people like them that ruin it all! Honestly, this book is just such an eye opener! It’s written so brilliantly and it’s just such an addictive book and really makes you think! An absolute must read!!
New day new review 😁 a huge thank you to the team at @penguinbooksaus @penguinteenaus for sending me an ARC of @writerkmc 's #OneOfUsIsNext - my review is now live on my blog: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2020/01/26/book-review-one-of-us-is-next-by-karen-m-mcmanus/ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Right from the get go, One of Us Is Next was utterly addictive! I love how fleshed out the characters felt right away and Karen M. McManus' writing was just so engaging, so I couldn't help but get right into the story! Even though One of Us Is Next is set after a year after the grizzly events of One of Us Is Lying, I felt like the stings were definitely still there! Especially when malicious messages start to surface on an online chat forum, seemingly intending to finish off what Simon (in One of Us Is Lying), had started, wanting to bring down his school-mates. However, this copycat definitely wants to take the game of truth or dare to definitely more extreme and lethal proportions! Whilst we don't know who's behind the new game, it was intense reading their messages to everyone, I mean, you could tell that this person had revenge on their mind!! What also struck me as quite surprising was that how much the students mostly kept engaged with Unknown's malicious messages! I mean at what cost? Well, I can assure you that the cost can be deadly!! Just the fact that everyone was so on edge waiting to see who would be randomly selected for truth or dare next was just crazy! Yet at the same time I was just so on edge to find out what would come next and who indeed would be faced with the choice!! The underlying mystery thought that was interwoven in this book!! I'm still reeling even though I finished this book yesterday!! I never envisioned the reveals coming as they did!!! #bookgram #bookreviewer #reviewsneedlovetoo #bookstagram #bookblogger #igbooks #penguinbooksaus #bookandflower #karenmmcmanus #oneofusisnext #oneofusislying #yalit #ireadya #yalovin #bookishlife #instabooks #bookish #bibliophile #aussiereaders #bookworm #bookaddiction #lovetoread #ilovebooks #readersofinstagram #ipreview via @preview.app
