Hey Kayla! Hope you’re staying safe with these crazy ass storms in NSW right now! We had an honest-to-god tornado yesterday (a literal tornado in rural nsw, wtf)😬😅

Helloooo I’m all good thanks!! I heard about the tornado 😱😱 I hope you’re okay, I just saw some pics on NSW incident alerts! We’re doing natural disasters with my class atm so first thing they said to me this morning was about the tornado and asking if it could happen here. We haven’t had any storms, just non stop rain for a week.

#which has been awful because my students aren’t allowed to mingle with other cohorts cause of covid so they have been in the classroom #for every. single. break all week 😰😰😰😰 #today was my first break since last Friday #anyway shouldn’t complain a tornado is much worse lol

hiya swan queen!! Just wondering , have you read Rule of Wolves yet? If yes, what were your honest thoughts??

g'day nope! i don't think i'm going to read it TBH. i did however search up each of the crow's names (apart from nina for obvious reasons) and read about any mention of them.

Hey! Didn't you use to have (like several years ago) a print of a swan in a bathtub or am I losing it?

hello yes that's me.

hey, this may be a bit random but im coming back from a long tumblr break and have forgotten, but have you written hp fan fiction??

#is jules online per chance #hope so

i'd recommend The Rivers of London if you're into urban fantasy! the main character, Peter Grant, is both the funniest, nerdiest person and a giant idiot at the same time

Thanks I will look it up!

are you afraid of snakes because of a genuine phobia or are you afraid of snakes because you're australian?

I wouldn’t say I have a phobia but I am scared of them. I dunno if it’s cause if Australian or just cause they are bloody terrifying. I’m just as scared of the thought of a carpet python near me as a brown snake tbh. I don’t want to be anywhere near any snake no matter how venomous it is. I do have nightmares about snakes quite often lol maybe I do have a phobia 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

how is the horse boy doing?

He is good and wonderful 😊😊😊 he’s made friends with my neighbours and now they feed him everyday through a hole in the fence 😂 they asked if that was okay and I said ‘sure but just know he is gonna come to that hole every time you are outside’ and they were like ‘that’s fine we love him’ here are some recent pics

did you at any point think that the sound was perhaps a rat

perhaps

Visitor in my classroom today!

#don’t judge my storeroom #I badly want to be a Pinterest teacher #but I am a trash king #this possum understands #my students and I heard rustling and I was just like PLEASE GOD DONT BE A SNAKE #thank christ

Hmmm okay not an Aussie author but I recently read and enjoyed Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett. It's an adult fantasy with a cool magic system, good characters + heisty fun. The first two in the trilogy are currently out and I thought #2 was actually better than the first! Not sure what else to recommend but I hope you find something good

This sounds good too!! Thanks :)

#sorry for all the very late replies

[perhapsarat]

have you read Gideon the Ninth? it's a little out there, but I think you might like that

Nope but it sounds pretty good! Honestly I'm a bit sick of reading about Feisty Angry Beautiful people I wanna read books about WEIRDOS who are nice and if they are bad at everything then that's a bonus too. No more competent characters, bring me the dumb asses!

#like that book Big Sexy Love #about this nut job who works as a fishmonger #with the ladies both called joan #and she goes on this wild goose chase for her friend and meets all these other freaks #i love it so much #two ladies**

What kind of book are you looking for?

At the moment I’m enjoying thrillers! And the usual suspects of fantasy, heists, YA, and Aussie authors

[perhapsarat]

If you’re looking for a YA book that’s so terrible that it’s actually fkn hilarious, try From Blood and Ash by jennifer armentrout.

No thank you I would rather read something good!

California is definitely by far 1000% the best song on Solar Power

#I love it soooo much #I like fallen fruit but the washing machine beeps give me a scare every time #and I liked all the singles..controversially #anyway the rest are not my favs but holding back final judgment until I’ve had a few listens #babbles #I would like to be listening on a beach somewhere #instead of in lockdown
