BOOKS AND GOOFY

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . Check out  The Broke and the Bookish  and other TTT lists! Ten Books You Recently Added to Your TBR List! Haha... coincidentally, I think most of my recent TBR list are books I've discovered through reading other TTT lists! And book blogger reviews. Let's see what interesting books I've recently added on Goodreads. 1. The Guy, the Girl, the Artist and His Ex  by Gabrielle Williams. This was a surprise inclusion with the next book. 2. Pieces of Sky by Trinity Doyle.  Recently won a proof of this (and above) from Allen & Unwin. 3. The Every series by Ellie Marney. Intrigued I didn't know about this series earlier. 4. Reluctantly Charmed by Ellie O'Neill.  Not sure where I've added this from but it does sound fascinating. 5. Vicious by V.E. Schwab.  I think a natural addition following the below discovery :) 6. A Darker Shad...

Oh-em-gee! What happened in my last post?! I must've been really tired. That's the only reason I can give for all the typos. Please forgive me?

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created and hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . It's a fun way to make bookish lists and find out what others have on their lists as well! Top Ten Books from my Childhood That I Would Like to Revisit  It's late Monday night and while I probably would (and could) remember so many more, below is my list for this week. Unfortunately not 10 but do series count?  1. Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levin.  My favourite book. Ever. 2. Nancy Drew series by Carolyn Keene.  I was OBSESSED with Nancy Drew. I think I read pretty much every book up to certain point. I had nearly every single book too. 3. Matilda by Roald Dahl.  I felt such a strong affinity with Matilda, being the bookworm she is. A great character and a lovely children's book. 4. The BFG by Roald Dahl.  Another great children's book. You know what, I probably probably every Roald Dahl book should be listed... 5. Narnia...

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . It's a really fun weekly list for all the list lovers (and book lovers) out there. I'm super bummed I didn't get to do last week's TTT. I've been sick *sad face* and busy at work but I'm slow and steady getting back on my feet. Top Ten Books in My Autumn TBR List It's Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere! Loving this topic - time to dig into my Goodreads TBR and set some goals for Autumn. 1. The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman . I am currently reading this book. I wandered if this would therefore qualify for this list but I only just started it and it's already Autumn so... what the hay. This was a random buy. I walked past it sitting on a Dymocks shelf. I was instantly attracted by the cover, the title and the three little lines on the cover. Librarian spies? Alternate London? I had to buy it! It's only half filled my expectations so far. Look out for a ...

Cover from Goodreads Blurb (from Goodreads ): In 2019, humanity finally finds proof of extraterrestrial life when a listening post in Puerto Rico picks up exquisite singing from a planet which will come to be known as Rakhat. While United Nations diplomats endlessly debate a possible first contact mission, the Society of Jesus quietly organizes an eight-person scientific expedition of its own. What the Jesuits find is a world so beyond comprehension that it will lead them to question the meaning of being "human". Words like "provocative" and "compelling" will come to mind as you read this shocking novel about contact with a race that creates music akin to both poetry and prayer. My thoughts: This was another interesting book to review. The story transitions back and forth between the 'current time' (2059 - 2060) and the 'past' (2019). [Come to think of it, I have been reading a few books lately that use this writing style!]  ...

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . It's fun to do and interesting to read what other bloggers have to say as well! Join in the fun! Top Ten Books You Would Classify as ALL TIME FAVOURITE BOOKS From the Past 5 Years 1. The Night Circus   by Erin Morgenstern. This is the most recent in this list. I loved how Erin Morgenstern wove the story around the characters and the circus. She also has a wonderful writing style that just makes you see, smell, hear and feel what she is writing, like you're right there. I wrote a review on this here . 2. Where She Went  by Gayle Forman. I really enjoyed If I Stay  and literally bought and read Where She Went  straight after I finished it. I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did. This book is from Adam's perspective and he really does have a lot of sadness, doubt and anguish. Gayle Forman does a great job portraying Adam's feelings. Gut-wrenchingly beautiful, is al...
