I recently travelled to Monterey, California for a conference and decided it would be a crime if I didn't stay on in San Francisco afterwards. It was my first time there, and what a beautiful city! I could totally picture myself living there - if it wasn't so expensive! One thing I HAD to do when I was there was check out a...
Rating: 5/5 "Sadness is like a spider web, you don't see it until you're caught up in it." I cried all my tears reading this book. I new it would probably be sad but I had no idea it would shatter me like it did. Colleen Hoover is one of my auto-buy authors. There have definitely been some of her books I have loved more than...
So. Many. Pretty Books. I know... I know... "don't judge a book by it's cover" but I have a thing for beautiful book covers so when I saw this tag over on DreamlandBookBlog I knew I had to do it! I will only be answering with books I have in my collection 1. Best colour combo on a book cover The Problem with Forever by Jennifer...
My insanely delicious birthday cake It was recently my birthday, and even though turning 26 was pretty scary, I had an amazing day. My partner said he had to run off to the corner store to grab something then a few minutes later came bursting through our front door like Hagrid with a very special birthday cake. Just like Harry's, this was a...
My my my... It's certainly been a while since I've posted on here! I think my last post was...*cough* February 2017 *cough*. In my last post I talked about readers guilt, and it being ok to take time off from reading sometimes. Last year I went through one of the biggest reading slumps in my entire life, but I let myself do it because...
Before I was introduced to the bookish side of the internet, before booktube, and book bloggers and Goodreads, I had a different perspective on reading. I would go through phases where I might read a ton, and then maybe for a few months I wouldn't read, and that would be perfectly ok. But ever since I got introduced to this (don't get me...
Rating 5/5 Based on the title (Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls) I think any crazed Gilmore fan may have already picked up this book. If you couldn't tell already, I am a huge Gilmore fan. Gilmore Girls is my go to favourite show, and reading some of the behind the scenes made me feel all kinds...
Code blue. CODE BLUE! We are 1 week out from NaNoWriMo 2016, and of course I am participating. This will be my 3rd year participating and my 3rd year winning (that’s right, I already know I will win again this year. The last 2 years I participated I have written fantasy, but for the first time I am writing a contemporary romance. I...
I love Halloween. The problem is it’s pretty rare for people in New Zealand to get into this holiday, so I have to keep my love for it on the down low. This year I’ve chosen to get into the spooky season by picking some creepy books to read this month. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs Reading this book...
