Ahh… Bookish settings. Is there ANY book lover who, at some time in their life, has not wished with everything in them that they could visit the world of the book they’re reading. I was particularly susceptible to this as a child, and haven’t fully outgrown it yet! So, many thanks to the girls at The Broke and the Bookish for suggesting this topic for today!
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday post should come with some kind of a health warning, because once you start, you may find yourself craving all kinds of foods, and I can’t promise all of them will be kind to your figures! Yes, the girls at The Broke and the Bookish have set a food theme for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday post, so don’t say you haven’t been warned!
Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday post. This week’s topic from the girls at The Broke and the Bookish is Ten Books That Feature Characters ___________. The blank is where we are free to define which characters we want to feature, and so I thought I would introduce you to some adorkable heroines. What’s adorkable, you ask? It’s a combination between adorable and dork, and I have to credit Pepper Basham’s upcoming release Charming the Trouble Maker for introducing me to this particular word.

Fellow book lovers, I am very excited to have my ‘frind across the dutch’ with me today (that’s my best Kiwi-ese approximation of ‘friend across the ditch’ 😂).

It’s that time of year again! Can you believe we’re already half-way through 2017?! And so, naturally, this week’s topic from the girls at The Broke and the Bookish is Best Books in 2017 so far. I’m limiting myself to new releases for this post, so in order of release, here are my Top Ten Picks for the first half of 2017:
Well, I said things would be back to normal around here this week, and boy have I hit the ground running! There are so many wonderful bookish things to be buzzing about, and some fabulous bookish things I’m getting ready for you it’s a wonder I haven’t grown my own set of wings. Actually, that might be handy, come to think of it…
Oh boy, do I love the book I’m sharing with you for First Line Friday today! Not only is it mostly set in Sydney, Australia, but it’s a fabulous read. You can catch my full review here, but just believe me when I say this is a book you don’t want to miss. It is, of course, Kara Isaac’s new release, Then There Was You.
~ About the Book ~ Paige McAllister needs to do something drastic. Her boyfriend can’t even commit to living in the same country, her promised promotion is dead on arrival and the simultaneous loss of her brother and her dream of being a concert violinist has kept her playing life safe and predictable for six years. Things need to change. A moment of temporary insanity finds her leaving her life in Chicago to move to Sydney, Australia. There she finds herself, against many of her convictions, as a logistics planner for one of Australia’s biggest churches, and on a collision
