Weekend 🙌💕

Next read ✌🏻

Next book ✌🏻

Is there a sequel?! I couldn‘t stop reading!

Look, I liked it. BUT I PREDICTED WHAT HAPPENED!! That‘s what I don‘t like.

New current read 💕

Wow, is all I can say. I loved it!

Reading and Nutella 💕

I loved the connections, the characters and the ending. Everything about it. Interesting structure too ❤️

Listened to this as an audiobook and it made me fall in love with psychological thrillers. Does any one have any recommendations on psych thrillers? Please comment below! ⬇️⬇️

I finally finished this book yesterday AND I LOVED IT! I‘ll be honest, I‘ve never read ANYTHING fiction/non-fiction about South Americans crossing the border into USA and by reading this, this has made me want to. This is a work of fiction based on research of people escaping their home countries due to serious threats to their lives and I think it did a great job of highlighting the issue.

Okay, I am 25% of the way through and I am absolutely obsessed! My kindle says I have 4 hrs and 50 mins left to finish and I am determined I will. Has anyone else read it? Did you get invested and obsessed like I am?

When your library finally had this book ready for you to pick up!

When you have to force yourself to stop reading because you have to get up for work in 5 hours 😞

Day 6: Best audiobook to listen to on a road trip.
.
.
The book is funny, heart wrenching, heart breaking and a show of true friendship and love. 💜 I love the fact that there is a true representation of depression and anxiety and how it looks to people on the outside and how the people suffering are treated.

Highly recommend NOT listening to this book with children in the car. 👶There are some very serious adult themes throughout.

Day 6: A book that broke your heart. 💔
.
.
So this book didn‘t break my 💜 the most but I have already done #TheNightingale for one of my days.
.
.
If you love historical fiction set during the Holocaust, this is a must read. Beautifully written that makes you connect with the characters which pulls at your heart strings. .

Day 5: Favourite classic novel.
.
Don‘t judge me! This is the only choice I have as it is literally the only classic I have read cover...to cover...
.
My aim this year though is to try and read all of Jane Austen and Wuthering Heights. Hopefully I can do it 🤞

#bookstagram

Moment of truth! .
.
Okay, so I at first was very reluctant and struggled to get into Outlander (even though I love, love LOVE the show!) but now I can‘t stop reading. I admit at first it took me awhile to get used to the Scottish conversations and the way that it was written but now I very easily can read and understand it and I‘m in love. So happy I have chosen to read these and didn‘t give up ❤️

Day 4: Book you remember from your childhood.
.
.
I was obsessed with Roald Dahl & his ‘The Witches‘ since I was able to read. And I remember this story absolutely terrifying me and giving me nightmares and fearing Norway. It wasn‘t until in University that I stopped fearing the country and fell in love with it and have placed it on my bucket list. 😂
.
.
I can‘t wait to read this story to my children 😍

Day 3: Book You Did Not Finish.
.
I started this before the series of #TheHandmaidsTale came out and I could not get past 50 pages or so. I bought a special edition book and I felt that could have been a reason why because I didn‘t want to ruin the cover or pages by reading it.
.
So right after #TheTestaments came out I made sure to have it read but on my #kindle. Absolutely loved it then! 💕 can‘t say the same for The Testaments though 😳🤷🏻‍♀️

Day 2: Favourite book by your favourite author.
.
This, hands down, will be my favourite book for a long time. One of the best written and told stories I have ever read that has impacted me in a way a book never has.

⭐️IM CATCHING UP!⭐️Day 1: Favourite book in a series.
.
.
I can‘t choose one but these are my tied favourites in the favourite book in a series from the #30daybookchallenge. I‘m such a sucker for #harrypotter ✨
.
.
🤘FUN FACT: I spent $250AUD on this special edition Harry Potter collection and I never plan on reading it. Ever. The covers are just too beautiful 😍#professionalreadingchallenge

While this story made me wildly uncomfortable at times, this story twisted the patriarchy and made sure that women were entirely in control of a society which stood the test of time for centuries. I recommend for anyone who wants their thoughts to be tested, pushed outside of their comfort zone and for fans of The Handmaids Tale to read this. Definitely thought provoking!

Powerful.

My husband bought me this book for Christmas! Never heard of the author or the story, intrigued by the alternate patriarchal society though. Has anyone read it? Let me know your thoughts! Have a Merry Christmas all 🎄

Loved it! Easy, funny, romantic read to end the year. Can‘t wait to read more of their stuff ❤️

Next on the list 😍 Have heard so many great things!

Love ❤️

I could read Kristin Hannah over and over again and fall in love with her stories more each time.

This story was so heartbreakingly beautiful that it‘s one you could reread and feel like you could quickly read again because of how beautifully it was written.

Showcasing the harsh realities of war on soldiers and the harsh unforgiveable landscape of Alaska, The Great Alone is a novel of heroism, heartbreak, love, family and violence.

Must read.

With the bushfires in NSW, Australia causing most of Sydney to be smothered in smoke the washing needs to be drying inside and all windows/doors need to be closed to prevent our home from being Smokey.

Days like this, weekends like this, are filled with reading in awkward positions that are weirdly comfortable 💁🏻‍♀️

I‘m not planning on moving until my NBA game starts in 15 minutes. I‘ve already been here 4 hours 🤷🏻‍♀️💕

Unfortunately my girlie doesn‘t understand my love of books and is currently looking over my shoulder waiting for me to finish reading so she can be fed 😂 can you sense the frustration?

What else would you want to do when your entire suburb and area is covered in smoke? 🔥

So excited to read this! ❤️

I really wanted to love it. But I just couldn‘t. It was just... boring? It kept jumping back and forth and the best part was when they were overseas. Which made up a tiny part of the 748 pages.

Liked the ending though, don‘t know if I‘d read it again. I probably will, but not for a while. On a positive note, this was my 20th book this year!! 🥳

When you‘re teaching a diary/journal unit for English literature and decide to focus on the Holocaust.

Every lesson I read a chapter and students are composing a diary from the perspective of Bruno with his thoughts and feelings about everything he is experiencing.

At the end, students will present this as an accompaniment to this text to know more about Bruno 😍

Onto the final part of the trilogy 😥

Onto book 2 of the trilogy 😥😍

This story has killed me (in a good way!) I was so absorbed in the love story of Alexander and Tatiana that every moment I wasn‘t reading, I was thinking about it and talking to anyone who would listen. I can‘t wait to go onto the second novel now. 😍

My little reading partner 😻 #catsoflitsy

I cannot stop reading this book! It is just as good as The Nightingale. I didn‘t realise how much I loved historical fiction until I read 6 of them this year 😍

Finally worked out the apps that work in my local library. I was quite disappointed that these apps don‘t work on the kindle, so I won‘t be using it for reading but rather listening to the audio books. First one up! Going back to my high school obsession with Twilight 😍💕

Just a little excited to read this!

Okay, so according to my kindle I am 36% of the way through Atwood‘s novel and I am on struggle street.

At the moment, I don‘t agree with this winning the Booker Prize. It took me ages to work out who the other characters were apart from Aunt Lydia and I don‘t like the way it‘s set out.

Anyone agree or disagree?

Ok so... I literally planned to read The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah but I just couldn‘t wait. I bought this immediately and need to continue on! Someone please help me and my bank account 🙏

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5

Finally finished this novel! I struggled a little with the non-linear storyline and how it kept going back and forth. Maybe if it was structured a little differently or better I would have liked it more. In saying that, loved the cliffhanger ending!

With school back this week and getting all my admin, marking and prep out of the way. This is the first time in almost 6 days where I have had the opportunity to sit down and read. I really want to finish this novel!

I can never sleep the night before school starts up again 🤷🏻‍♀️
