Do you love retellings? I sure do! They're definitely one of my very most favourite types of stories to read - yet, much to my surprise..I haven't actually read A Curse So Dark and Lonely (yet) 😉 but can you imagine my utter joy when I opened a parcel from @bloomsburypublishing / @bloomsburyya for sending me this utterly majestic ARC of its sequel, A Heart So Fierce and Broken 😍😍😍 this is easily the most prettiest book I own! I'm just so excited to read the pretty 😍😍 (and book 1). This lovely book publishes on the 21st January, 2020! 💚 #yafantasy #brigidkemmerer #aheartsofierceandbroken #yabooks #ireadya #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #biblio #bookobsessed #bookblogger #bookreviewer #yalit #yabookstagram #bloomsburyya #blooksburypublishing #goodreads #aussiereaders #readersofinstagram #lovetoread #ilovereading #bookblog #booksoutside #prettybooks #arc #ipreview via @preview.app

Happy paperback publication to The Grace Year by Kim Liggett! 🎉 this was such a fast paced, chilling, addictive and engaging read and I could not once put it down! My full review is now live here on my blog: (you can also find it in my bio, too): https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2019/10/15/book-review-the-grace-year-by-kim-liggett/ (Thank you @penguinbooksaus / @penguinteenaus for sending me the beautiful finished copy to read and review). 😻 I recieved a finished copy of The Grace Year from Penguin Books Australia in exchange for an honest review, all thoughts are my own. This was such a riveting and immersive story, unlike anything I've read before! I could hardly put it down! I felt like I could instantly picture everything I was reading, which added so much to the atmosperic reading experience, giving me literal chills! The Grace Year follows Tierney, a sixteen year old girl who always thought that she'd never be a bride, content to work in the fields, feeling that it's an honest to goodness life, earning her share and working hard. She feels the life of a wife is something which never appealed to her, which is relaable, honestly. The last thing she expects is to be given a veil, deemed someone's bride, someone's property. The Grace Year, just from the start to the end, was just so engaging and sometimes horrifying throughout, but completely addictive! I needed to know what would come next, if the supposed magic throughout this book was real, or if some characters, well, namely one, were having massive delusions of entitlement grandeur? I needed answers....😉⚘ #bookstagram #bookreviewer #bookblogger #bookblog #booknerdigans #prettybooks #coverlove #thegraceyear #kimliggett #ireadya #yalit #yabooks #booksoutside #bookandflowers #yalovin #readabook #bookish #booklover #aussiereaders #igbooks #bookporn #bookstagrammer #ipreview via @preview.app
A huge thank you to @venturapress_ for sending me this beautiful finished copy of Paris Savages by Katherine Johnson 💜 I've been so looking forward to this one, I've heard the most heartfelt things about it and I'm definitely looking forward to reading it ASAP 😍 Sypnosis: Fraser Island, 1882. The population of the Badtjala people is in sharp decline following a run of brutal massacres. When German scientist Louis Müller offers to sail three Badtjala people – Bonny, Jurano and Dorondera – to Europe to perform to huge crowds, the proud and headstrong Bonny agrees, hoping to bring his people’s plight to the Queen of England. Accompanied by Müllers bright, grieving daughter, Hilda, the group begins their journey to belle-époque Europe to perform in Hamburg, Berlin, Paris and eventually London. While crowds in Europe are enthusiastic to see the unique dances, singing, fights and pole climbing from the oldest culture in the world, the attention is relentless, and the fascination of scientists intrusive. When disaster strikes, Bonny must find a way to return home. A story of love, bravery, culture, and the fight against injustice, Paris Savages brings a little-known part of history to blazing life, from award-winning novelist Katherine Johnson. #bookstagram #parissavages #venturapress #booklover #readabook #booksoutside #bookphotography #bookaddiction #katherinejohnson #bookblogger #lavender #bibliophile #booklover #fiction #igbooks #readerlife #readersofinstagram #aussiereaders #ipreview via @preview.app
Happy Saturday 🎉🎉 it's the weekend- what is everyone up to? Yesterday I started The Grace Year by Kim Liggett which publishes in Paperback in Australia on the 15th October! I practically binged the first 100 pages in one sitting - I'm finding it so engaging and honestly so thrilling! It's sort of Fantasy x Sci-Fi x Thriller and honestly I don't even know what's going to come next but I'm excited to find out! A huge thank you to @penguinbooksaus / @penguinteenaus for sending me a copy to review ☺️ Sypnosis: The resistance starts here... No one speaks of the grace year. It's forbidden. We're told we have the power to lure grown men from their beds, make boys lose their minds, and drive the wives mad with jealousy. That's why we're banished for our sixteenth year, to release our magic into the wild before we're allowed to return to civilization. But I don't feel powerful. I don't feel magical. Tierney James lives in an isolated village where girls are banished at sixteen to the northern forest to brave the wilderness - and each other - for a year. They must rid themselves of their dangerous magic before returning purified and ready to marry - if they're lucky. It is forbidden to speak of the grace year, but even so every girl knows that the coming year will change them - if they survive it... The Grace Year is The Handmaid's Tale meets Lord of the Flies - a page-turning feminist dystopia about a young woman trapped in an oppressive society, fighting to take control of her own life. #bookstagram #bookandflowers #thegraceyear #kimliggett #bookreviewer #bookblogger #yabooks #bookobsessed #currentlyreading #amreading #yalit #ireadya #mybookstagram #readabook #aussiereaders #booksinature #bibliophile #bookdragon #bookworm #bookwyrms #biblio #ipreview via @preview.app
