Book stack :: Recent Book Mail
It’s been such a long time since I shared a book mail stack, so when a package of upcoming titles arrived from Allen & Unwin this week I couldn’t resist snapping them to show you! These are all out on 3 August, and I’ll be aiming to have reviews here in the week or two after that.

PREVIEW :: More Book mail!
Now, I know I just posted a little preview stack a few days ago, but the book people are BUSY right now, and I have been blessed with A LOT of #bookmail over the past week or two. So, I thought I’d share another little stack of books I’m looking forward to reading. While we’re talking book mail and reviews, I just wanted to pop in a little overview of how I ‘work’ with this sort of stuff. I don’t receive a lot of unsolicited books in the post, meaning if publishers send me something it is generally a book I have specifically requested. I only ask for books if…

Book Stack :: HERSTORY: Women Who Rebel
I love reading historical fiction, especially based around the lives of Australia women – regular women who did extraordinary things, and who have largely been written out of history. Harper Collins Australia (Harlequin Books) have published some of my favourite books of this type over the past few years, so when I saw they were running a special HERSTORY: Women Who Rebel campaign I was super excited and keen to read along. Which also meant I was delighted when the team at Harper Collins kindly sent me a stack of the first four books being featured in the campaign! There’s a different title being featured each month, and I’m really…

Sunday Stack :: March book mail
Happy Sunday book friends! This week I wanted to share a little stack of some of the book mail I have received in the past few weeks. I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve been doing a pretty terrible job of keeping track of my incoming books, so as well as it being fun to show you what I’ve got it will hopefully also help me with that! I’ve popped the links both to Goodreads and the publishers pages for these below (and, just to be clear, these are all books I have received for free from the publishers) * Horse Warrior – Meredith Jaffe (on goodreads)Middle grade fiction, out in…

Sunday Stack :: February Book Mail
Just popping in today to share a stack of books I received in the mail throughout February. Some of these I was lucky enough to be sent for free by their publishers (keep an eye out for reviews coming soon!), and others I treated myself to (because obviously too many books is never enough!).

You can see my review of this gorgeous #loveozya read here. * Welcome to Orphancorp, Psynode, and Prisoncorp by…
