Book Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oasis by Katya De Becerra ❤ I recieved an eARC from the author and publisher via @netgalley in exchange for an honest review which you can find live on my blog here: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2019/09/19/earc-review-oasis-by-katya-de-becerra/ (also below) I recieved an eARC of Oasis from the author and publisher, Macmillan US, all thoughts are my own. Well, well, well! Katya De Becerra has indeed knocked my socks off once again! She’s an utterly fabulous and engaging author, I love her debut, What the Woods Keep and I’m so excited for the world to read this! It’s such a twisted, addictive story that definitely had me wondering what is real and what isn’t! What starts as a planned getaway for Alif and her best friends at an archeological dig site turns into a fight for survival unlike no other! The word building in this story was absolutely addictive, I couldn’t put it down and could not wait to see what would unfold next! It was quite incredible, the way Katya De Becerra depicts not only the day to day archeology activities, but when everyone stumbles upon the Oasis itself – from then on I could not fathom what would come next! Alif and her friends are such a likeable bunch, and it was really clever and angsty seeing everyone develop from a carefree and curious group who all relied on one another and who all had such close friendships, unravel ever so wildly at the sight of this supposed Oasis. What was happening? What is real? Who knew! I truly think it’s best to go into this novel with as little context as possible! This is one of the most unique, wild and addictive stories I’ve read in some time and will definitely stick with me for some time yet! You don’t want to miss Oasis! #bookreviewer #bookblogger #katyadebecerra #oasis #yalit #ireadya #yabooks #yalovin #kindlepaperwhite #eARC #bookblog #bookreviews #bookandflowers #bibliophile #bookish #bookworms #bookdragon #aussiereaders #yathriller #readabook #readingissexy #lovetoread #ipreview via @preview.app
What's one of your most anticipated reads for this year? I have a LOT, truthfully 😍 so many books! One of the many, many I'm excited to read is "Priory of the Orange Tree" by @say_shannon 😍 how beautiful is this majestic beast of a book? And it has dragons and a f/f romance! What's not to be excited about 😍 even Peppy is giving it the royal sniff of approval 😉 #priory #prioryoftheorangetree #samanthashannon #bookstagram #bookish #catstagram #booklover #booknerdigans #bibliophile #bookwyrms #blackcatsarethebest #blackcatsaregoodluck #igbooks #instareads #booksinnature #tbr #aussiereaders #highfantasy #epicbooks #coverlove #fantasybooks #lgbtqbooks #bookworms #booktography #bookcommunity #bookgram #ausbookishfeatures
Happy publication day to Frankly in Love by David Yoon! This book has been a favourite of mine this year, thank you so much @penguinteenaus / @penguinbooksaus for sending me a proof to read and review! My review is now live on my blog (in my linktree in bio and also here: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2019/09/16/book-review-frankly-in-love-by-david-yoon/ I absolutely adore this book with all my being! The writing is just jam packed with absolute powerful emotions and grabbed my heart and did not let go once! I really found Frank to be an amazing narrator and couldn't help but feel his angst, his distance from his parents (what with his dad only really speaking fluent Korean and not much English and Frank not being fluent in Korean). His pseudo dating fellow Korean, Joy, was really fun to read about too and I loved reading about their developing bond as they both dealt with the fact that their parents wouldn't approve of their preferred partners and just everything that unravelled was so emotionally captivating! I practically finished this book in less than a day for not wanting to put it down and I wanted to reread it as soon as I finished! Definitely 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. #franklyinlove #ownvoices #davidyoon #debutnovel #penguinbooksaus #penguinteenaus #bookblogger #bookblog #bookreviews #bookreview #instabooks #igbooks #booklover #booknerdigans #bookgeek #booknerd #instareads #youngadultfiction #ireadya #yacontemporary #yalit #yabooks #bookandflowers #booksinnature #ipreview via @preview.app
Hogwarts House Roll Call! Comment below your Hogwarts House! I'm a proud Ravenclaw or if you're thinking hybrid Hogwarts Houses then I'm definitely a Ravenpuff ☺️ I know I haven't posted in a little while and honestly I admire the heck out of everyone who keeps up a constant stream of posts on bookstagram- my reading lately hasn't been happening a lot until today - purely because work is keeping me busy which I am loving! ☺️ but honestly today is a lazy Sunday off for me so I'm going to take some more photos ready for when I post reviews and the like - there's so many exciting books out at the moment and such a brilliant backlist and current and pending titles! And I'm fortunate enough to have a fair few ARC'S I'm ecstatic about too 😍 and Harry Potter! I'm featuring Goblet of Fire in today's post because I went to the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra playing Goblet of Fire in concert last night which was just phenomenal 😍😍 no matter how many times I see the films and reread the books I'm filled with awe 💖😍 #bookstagram #bookish #pottergeneration #booklover #bookobsessed #bookandflowers #harrypotterandthegobletoffire #harrypotter #jkrowling #bibliophile #bookaddiction #yalit #ireadya #yabooks #readerlife #aussiereaders #ausyabloggers #ausbookishfeatures #bookwyrms #bookdragon #ravenclaw
Latest review now live on my blog: https://brooklynthebookworm.wordpress.com/2019/09/10/book-review-pans-labyrinth-the-labyrinth-of-the-faun-by-guillermo-del-toro-and-cornelia-funke/ Dark fantasy with trickster fauns and menacing soldiers? Check! Pan's Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun is a novel which is written in the inspiration of the film and plays total homage to the story of lonely Ofelia who finds herself in a world as mysterious and dark as her beloved fairy tales. I absolutely adore this story and found it completely heart wrenching and tragic! The writing is so lush and haunting too, I absolutely loved the works building in this novel and reading Ofelia's journey, feeling her hope that her beloved Mother will be okay or just her wistful longing for her fairy stories to be real! This is a story that will stay in my mind for plenty of time to come💜 thank you @bloomsburypublishing for sending a copy my way to review. #ipreview via @preview.app
Today's post for the #AusYAChallenge19 (#musical) is this perfectly heartwarming middle grade novel which I was able to read and review from @walkerbooksaus earlier in the year ☺️ Mika and Max follows the titular characters as they meet during a little getaway with their families! Some of the setting is at a music festival and music is quite important to Mika, which is what lead me to choose this lovely book for today's prompt ☺️💙 #bookstagram #booksandflowers #laurabloom #mikaandmax #booknerdigans #walkerbooks #ausyabloggers #middlegradebooks #bookish #booklover #bookreviewer #booksoutside #bookandflowers #bookobsessed #bookgeek #aussiereaders
