Have you seen many/any Little Free Libraries around where you are? 🤗 There's not that many around locally to me (or any, if I think about it? 🤔) but there is this cute one by a cinema in a nearby shopping mall which always makes me smile whenever I go past - this photo was taken yesterday when I popped some loved reads alongside the already packed shelves 🤗 A huge hats off to @teatreegullylibrary for putting this fabulous initiative together🎉 #littlefreelibrary #librarylove #teatreegullylibrary #selfie #bookblogger #bookaddict #library #bookish #booklion #instaread #bookishfeatures #reading #bookaholic #books #bookshelf #amreading #booknerd #igbooks #bookworm #theleaningtbr #ausyabloggers #australiaisreading #instabooks #literature #bookstagramfeature
🎉it's a very happy publication day to #SisterMargaret which was penned by Brother and Sister team Travis Myers and Natasha Myers Marsiguerra 😁 - a huge thank you to @bullypress for sending me a copy to read and review, my full review can be found here: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2020/05/28/book-review-sister-margaret-by-travis-myers-and-natasha-myers-marsiguerra-2/ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I didn't know a great deal about Sister Margaret prior to diving in, except that it's the first in a series by Brother-Sister Crime-Writing partnership, Travis Myers and @natasha.m.marsiguerra - I was exceptionally intrigued to learn that Travis is a retired NYPD Officer and that he and Natasha based their story around a lot of their first hand experiences and their own lives. What struck me as completely unique and engaging about Sister Margaret is how unfiltered it was and the fact that it's loosely based on the Authors' true experiences really added that element of realism! I felt like I was easily able to picture the character's actions and every one of them were given such a unique and distinctive voice, which I could completely hear throughout this book! At the helm of Sister Margaret is the Myers' creation, Tommy Keane, who I just enjoyed reading about so much! I love how he's completely no nonsense and unafraid to speak up as far as his work is concerned, he and his colleagues are unafraid to approach any victim with a reassuring manner. I found Tommy's adoration of his elderly Mother completely endearing too, there was a scene where he takes her out for dinner and she reminisces about her younger years, I just found it to be so precious and lovely! The mystery aspect of Sister Margaret effectively kept me guessing right from the get go and until the moment the penultimate twist was revealed! It was completely chilling and heart wrenching and horrifying and I couldn't even have predicted it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #bookstagram #bookish #petsofbookstagram #blackcatsarethebest #reviewsneedlovetoo #sistermargaret #book #booksoutside #bibliophile #booknerd #bookblogger #blackcatsaregoodluck #aussiereaders #tommykeane #bullypress #igbooks #becauseofreading #bookstagrammer #ilovebooks
What was the last book that you read and loved? For me, it was definitely my reread of the stellar #AuroraRising which of course is by the wonderful @misterkristoff and @amiekaufmanauthor 💕 thank you so much @allenandunwin for sending me a copy of this beauty to reread and review in much anticipation for #AuroraBurning 🔥🌟🌌 my full review is now live on my blog - https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2020/05/25/book-review-aurora-rising-by-jay-kristoff-and-amie-kaufman-3/ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman have longtime been two of my most favourite authors, whether it's as individuals or as a collaborative pair, I always admired and will continue to admire not only their wild and vivid imaginations, but their completely immersive storytelling abilities! Seven points of view may seem like a daunting feat and a potential confusing reading experience, but Kaufman and Kristoff seamlessly weave the lives of Tyler, Scarlett, Finn, Kal, Zila and Auri so intricately and immersively, giving each Squad Member a completely unique and distinctive voice, not to mention memorable sassy banter and touching bonds throughout too. I was absolutely living for Scarlett's wit and sarcasm, yet she proves completely crucial as the Squad's Face, the diplomat who instigates peace between intergalactic species and crews. She's also the twin to our Alpha - Tyler and their sibling bond is just completely precious and endearing! I love how they can communicate with just a single nod or a gesture and how Scarlett will always support and follow Tyler. The Ying to Scarlett's Yang is Pilot/Ace Extraordinarre Cat, who's devotion to her Alpha is completely admirable and she and Scarlett just share some amazing banter but work so amazingly well together! Throw in Kal, Zila, Finian and a secret stowaway, a girl out of time, Auri and we have an amazing Squad and an adventure of stellar proportions! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #jaykristoff #amiekaufman #auroracycle #bookgeek #reader #becauseofreading #reviewsneedlovetoo #fortheloveofbooks #booknerdigans #read #bookaddict #bookstagram #bookblogger #bookreviewer #ilovebooks #igbooks #bookishfeatures #booklove #booklover #books #bibliophile #beach
#QoTD - where is your happy place? One of mine is my local bookstore @dymocksadelaide - my favourite section of course being the #YA shelves 😍😍 I could happily stay there all day browsing books 😂 my mum actually took this photo a couple weeks ago - I'd been able to go to the bookstore for the first time since Covid-19 restrictions lifted and I was happy 😍 Dymocks Adelaide is also home to @theyacircle - a YA book club, who have a meeting coming up online discussing the #LoveozYA title 'Deep Water' - check out their profile for info 😁 #bookworm #bibliophile #bookishfeatures #bookblogger #nowreading #bookporn #booknerd #literature #bookaddict #instabooks #currentlyreading #books #instabook #bookstagrammer #currentread #bookish #bookgeek #vscobooks #bookshelf #booklover #bookstore #dymocks
Where are my fellow #Squad312 fans at? I'm currently rereading #AuroraRising in anticipation for #AuroraBurning which of course are penned by the brilliant @misterkristoff @amiekaufmanauthor 😍 I'm just in the early stages of part two but honestly it's a lot of fun being back with these wonderful misfits 😍 who's everyone's favourite character? I love Scarlett, she's just so sassy and sarcastic, with just the right drop of diplomacy 😉 thank you @allenandunwin for sending me a copy of Aurora Rising to read and review 🥰 #jaykristoff #amiekaufman #yalit #booksoutside #reader #books #bookaholic #bookgeek #bookworm #bookblogger #goodreads #currentread #booksofinstagram #australiaisreading #bookphotography #instabook #library #yalit #bookstagrammer #becauseofreading #instabooks #booknerd #booknerdigans #bibliophile #currentlyreading
#QoTD: What was the genre of the last book you've read? I've finished #SisterMargaret by real life NYPD retired detective Travis Myers and his Sister Natasha Myers Marsiguerra and I highly enjoyed it! My full review will be up on my blog upon publication date which is May 28th and I'll definitely be posting about it again here then too 😌💕 I absolutely enjoyed this first instalment in the Tommy Keane detective series, it's short, sharp and completely packs a punch! It's quite haunting too and will stay with you long after you finish it! Sufficed to say, I'm definitely excited to read more of Tommy Keane's cases 🙊 thank you @bullypress for sending the book my way 🥰 #instareads #bullypress #reading #blackcatsarethebest #bookphotography #booknerdigans #sistermargaret #becauseofreading #books #bibliophile #instaread #bookstagram #catstagram #bookblogger #instabook #bookstagramfeature #bookworm #booknerd #booklover #bookgeek #literature #igbooks #read #bookaddict #bookaholic #author #ipreview via @preview.app
