Top Ten Tuesday – Animal Inspiration

Happy Tuesday, book lovers! This week’s Top Ten Tuesday post is all about titles. Technically, the topic according to That Artsy Reader Girl is Frequently used words in ________ Titles, with __________ being where you insert genre of your choice. Well, I could have done fall or love for romance titles, but that was a little uninspiring. I thought of conspiracy because that’s in the title of the book I’m currently reading, but aside from a few favourites it was taking too long to come up with a list.

Weekend Book Buzz – 16/17 September 2017

It’s been a busy weekend for me this weekend, with a flying visit (literally and figuratively!) to Melbourne to see TWO of my favourite groups in concert together. If you’re a fan of a cappella vocal music and you’ve never heard of Australian vocal group The Idea of North, or Swedish vocal group The Real Group, then you need to fix that pronto! But that’s probably not why you’re here, and there’s plenty of bookish news to share too, so let’s get down to business, eh?

Top Ten Tuesday – Motherhood

Today’s Top Ten Tuesday with the girls at The Broke and the Bookish has a motherhood theme, for obvious reasons. I don’t know about anyone else, but my Facebook feed over the weekend made it clear that Mother’s Day is a day of conflicting emotions for many. For many of us, it is a day of celebration—and at its core, motherhood is a precious gift that should be celebrated—but in this fallen world, it often brings pain as well.
