18 Nov 2017. See any of your favourites? These are all #LoveOzYA reads, which means they were written by awesome Australian authors. And you should 100% check them out. It's a rainy day here in Brisbane so I'm glad I got a bit ahead on my photo-taking. I'm going to spend the day catching up and pushing forward on #NaNoWriMo, doing some blogging, etc. I just feel so much more relaxed when I'm organised.

✨Hello, 2019! What’s your new year’s resolution?✨ . Bookish wise, mine’s to focus more on reading, writing reviews I’m satisfied with, and interacting with bookish friends more often. In the past few years, I’ve been preoccupied with social media and blog growth so, as much as I don’t want to admit, I’ve completely neglected my bookish accomplishments or reading challenge. 📚 . Therefore, my reading goal this year is 50 books, and hopefully, I’ll get to catch up with all the book reviews I promise to write. *that’s how ambitious I am😂* 💪🏼📝👌🏼 . Life wise, well, I honestly don’t have high hopes or anything regarding my life right now because all I’m trying every day is to be more confident at work and develop professionalism at the same time.🙃 . P.S. These books aren’t necessarily my January TBR but they’re definitely the ones I plan to read/reread this year! Besides, today’s a great day to take bookish photos because of the incredible natural lighting! 😍📸 . Have a nice weekend, everyone! What’s your 2019 resolution? Let me know in the comments below!!💬 . #bookish #booklovers #2019tbr #tbr #bookworms #booknerds #bibliophiles #supportindieauthors #luciddreaming #daughter4254 #morethanwecantell #beginendbegin #loveozya #illmeetyouthere #athousandperfectnotes #booklove #bookstagram #instabooks #floraldesign #flowerlover #naturallight #photobyme #nofilter #happy2019 #newyearresolution #2019reads https://www.instagram.com/p/BsPu9Z1ld80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=waq1oalnr6z4

Enjoying the winter sun though it is a bit breezy. ☉🌬 . #currentlyreading #BeginEndBegin and thoroughly loving it! Diverse in genre (sci-fi - contemporary) and also characters... I love especially that I feel these stories are multicultural as if that's the general accepted aspect of society; very smooth! #loveozya . Thanks @thecurioboutique for my new bookmark 😘

4 Nov 2017. What are some of your favourite author collaborations? These are some of mine, and I'd recommend them all! I managed to get more than 5000 words of #NaNoWriMo done today so I'm at 12,300 words in total. And that's AFTER working a hectic 12-hour shift that started at 4.30am. I'm about to pass out but feeling very accomplished.

A bit late with my #ReadThisMonth post. Slight fatigue after the #LoveOzYAChallenge 😅 A slightly smaller pile this month. Had a lot going on with #LoveOzYA and work to keep me busy. But some good stuff! #Release by @patricknessbooks blew my mind with how good it was! Like, SO GOOD! #BeginEndBegin the #LoveOzYAAnthology edited by @dbinks is a fantastic collection. Finally read the cute and sweet #TheFlywheel by #ErinGough and #JakeAtlas by #RobLloydJones was great fun #MiddleGrade. #PatrickNess #DanielleBinks #YA #YAlit #yabooks #bookstack #books #bookstagram #instabook
