Yikes! The end of September? Where is this year going?! Has the change of season made it to where you are? We’re well and truly into Spring in my part of Australia and I have to say, it’s pretty sweet. Longer days, warmer days. And of course, plenty of books to enjoy. 🙂
I’m back to Top Ten Tuesday after a two-week hiatus! And this week’s topic from the girls at The Broke and the Bookish is one of those topics that I don’t even pretend to limit myself to a mere ten books! However, I have managed to be somewhat restrained. Limiting this list to books that are actually releasing between September and November went a long way towards that restraint! And obviously, this is actually my Spring TBR, because here in the antipodes, spring is in the air! September   Read my reviews for Crown of Souls, A New Shade of Summer,

Welcome book lovers! We’ve been talking about love triangles around here the last few weeks, and after discussing what love triangles are, and what turns people off them, I thought we’d have a look at the positive side: When do readers give love triangles a thumbs up?
I’m back! And this week’s Top Ten Tuesday from the girls at The Broke and the Bookish is officially Top Ten Series I’ve Been Meaning to Start but Haven’t. I’ve decided to split this into two lists: Series I’ve Been Meaning to Start, but Haven’t, and Series I’ve Been Meaning to Finish, but Haven’t. Sadly, both could have been full lists in their own right, but I have limited myself to five in each category.
Greetings from Melbourne, book lovers! It is much colder here, 1,000km south of our home, but we have been blessed with beautiful sunshine for the most part, even if there’s a definite chill in the air. Of course, being on holidays has meant less time for blogging this week, and you will notice there’s been less happening around here, but I have still been having some bookish fun, especially meeting up with Rel from Relz Reviewz at Koorong, Australia’s largest Christian bookseller:
My goodness! Is it June already? Where did the first half of the year go? This weekend has been a flurry of activity at our house (hence the later-than-usual-book-buzz-post) as we’re preparing to leave for our trip to Melbourne on Tuesday (an 11-12 hour drive that we will be doing over two days!) We’ll be catching up with friends and family, viewing some original Van Gogh paintings, and I might even be catching up with one or two people you know . . . 😉 But for now, here’s a recap of what’s happened on the blog this week:
Well, you could be forgiven for thinking I have dropped off the face of the earth over Christmas. I may live in Australia, but December definitely snowballed on me this year. Please accept my belated wishes for a merry Christmas and a happy new year. 🎄🎉 Amidst all of the December busyness, I have been giving thought to my favourite reads over the year. Let me tell you, it is a daunting business, coming up with a blog post about your favourite reads for the year. For starters I read around 250 books this year 😳 Secondly, different books stick
