Monday night with @authorlylasage was impeccable. 🥹

I absolutely loved listening to Lyla & hearing all about RBR & how close we are to seeing @universalpicsau bring it to life, Sweetwater Peaks Process & all things ghosties! 👻

Lyla is genuinely one of the funniest authors I have had the chance to sit and listen to. She had me cracking up!

Thanks @hachetteaus & @the.forbchapter for all the goodies!
&of course our speacial guest @tierney.reads ✨💋

Love finding me some Aussie authors!

Story Time!

At the start of April I won a giveaway by the gorgeous @this.gal.reads & it was a night with Ann & a few other authors at @the.forbchapter

Unfortunately, I had literally just had surgery & was bed ridden, therefore unable to go to the book signing & meet And greet!

So, Jess the beautiful soul she is, got all the book signed for me & sent them my way!

Forever grateful for this little community & Aussie authors!

Happy Sunday ☀️

It’s been a crazy 4.5 months on booksta (IYKYK 😅), but I thought it was about time I shouted out some (there will be more to come!) of my favourite accounts to follow 🫶🏼

Whether it’s the humans behind them, the books they recommend or the shelfies they post… these accounts have brought a little extra joy to my Insta life & I’m so grateful for them ✨ 📚

Consider this your sign to add a little dopamine to your feed give them a follow 🤍

C’est une artiste…Just call me Picasso 👨🏼‍🎨

What an absolute treat!! Whilst in Melbourne I got to visit @the.forbchapter and firstly hear the amazing @bookdragonbec with the Painted Hearts audiobook Narrators @floraogilvyvoice and @madtwyer in conversation with @tierney.reads 💖

Then we paid homage to Gavin 🪿 with a Painted Hearts Paint & Sip guided by Bec herself! 🎨

It truly was such an fun night filled with laughter and joy, spending time with book besties old and new!

PS highly recommend getting yourself a beret and tash for your next paint and sip, it certainly adds a level of artist flair 😉👨🏼‍🎨

Sprayed Edges Saturday 🖤✨

I’m OBSESSED with all these colors together 😍 Honestly, sprayed edges might be one of my biggest bookish weaknesses at this point 🤭🔥

Do you recognize any of these? And which one is your favorite? ✨

Tagging some of my friends, show me your favorite sprayed edges! 📚
