Want a cozy fantasy to snuggle until the covers with?

Two school rivals have to work together to undo the curse on them. Can they remove it before it's complete? This is a fun #read with monsters!

Took a little to get into but I loved the voice in this! The magic-system and #worldworldbuilding was a great bit of #YAFantasy that I highly recommend! Whether you're a Peacock or a Crow, try this #fantasy #adventure #read!

Been away enjoying nature for the last week. Thought I'd get a bit of reading and writing done on the side, but it was impossible... too distracted by the scenery!

Time to restart tomorrow. Wishing you all a successful #writing session!

Best #read this week!
YA urban fantasy about three young #witches trying to survive wealthy witch hunters with the help of #demons and #spells along the way. This was a thrilling read that kept me hooked!

Submitting to Penguin Oz's recent open has me focusing on getting my novel #query ready. So it was a delightful surprise to get two #flashfic acceptances in email! It's the little wins that keep us going 💪

Have a productive #writing session!

Book of Doors was so much fun to #read! I'm sure every #bookworm secretly wishes they had one of these #magic books, and can partake in its secret society. A great mysterious #urbanfantasy to enjoy!

#Aussiewriter Lynette Noni continues to keep readers on edge with this #fantasy of love, monarchs, and #betrayal. Should Kiva support the prince caring for his people or her family's revenge? Fantastic read!

This #historicalromance with #diaspora characters and lives was fascinating, with culturally identifiable aspects in a setting I'm not used to #reading them in. Courtney Milan does well keeping true to the culture and personalities!

What's better than one #fairytale retelling? Two mashed together!
#Kellwoods mix of Cinderella and The Little Mermaid along with seafolk myths is beautifully told in this historical fantasy. With bewitching prose and memorable characters, its a #mustread

Thoroughly enjoyed this version of Hansel and Gretel, Snow White and Briar Rose mashup down-the-track. Kell Woods writing is like a poetic #fairytale. Highly recommend if you're after a #fantasy with #witches and #bears and #wolves ! And love!

Writing is a journey!

Whether critiquing, reading, or enjoying a new story published, it only matters because I aim to write. Today, I'm back to the novel. Will this snail reach school before I finish my manuscript?? 🙃

Happy #writing !

Looking for a YA fantasy with intrigue, deceit and a prince falling for a prisoner? #theprisonhealer is a great read by #Australian writer Lynette Noni! If you're a busy person, try the #audiobook narrated by Jeanette Illidge

I was going to write...

But the non-stop rain has set a mood, so I'm submitting instead, because what better way to enjoy the rain than to trudge through it? Prepping for the rejection storm!🙃

Wishing you a great #writing session!

Can you really trust the smartest people looking after our countries' secrets?

All the uncomfortable questions: Where is our tech heading? What does it mean for the our world? #Mystery, #thriller, and #action all rolled into one!

Looking for a mystery thriller read with attitude? Six Years has suspense, action, and heart in this explosive read. Apparently, a few of his books have been acquired for Netflix so it's worth picking it up!

Epic historical Asian fantasy about a nobody who takes her brother's fate to become a monk, starting their pathway to being an emperor. The prose in this story is beautiful! Expect survival, deaths, queer love, and war in She Who Became the Sun

Moriarty's FANTASTIC at getting readers hooked on seemingly mundane life. Add murder, whodunnit, and too many mums... makes for a great read! Don't let the lightheartedness fool you - it also shines a light on domestic abuse... so well written.

If dark magic crimes, fighting against Authority, and questionable monster creatures perk your interest, then I recommend this #YAfantasy with a hint of heist! Great cast of characters and a #mystery...what more could you want?

This was mesmerising from the beginning! A fantastic study of characters and how much a death prediction affects a life. Wonderfully read by Caroline Lee and Geraldine Hakewill, I kept looking for cleaning just to hear what happened next!

Tiger Daughter is a portrayal of some people's migrant experience that a few might find hard to read. It's raw in many ways but shows that resilience and courage is key to living.

Just finished this book and it's constantly on high octane! Wishing it'd wrapped up at the end of this book so I know how the whole story finishes.

Are you enjoying this series?
