Spare Kisses by Pip Harry & Yiscah Marcatili

Special bookmail this week. Spare Kisses is a gorgeous picture book all about Nan's place and the special relationship between Eve and her Nan's. It explores a multitude of different examples of the way her Nan is special and there for her, with comfort, treats and of course spare kisses. Thank you so much to the publisher for sending a gifted copy

Blurb:

At Nan's place there are so many marvellous things, earrings and bracelets, and glittering rings. But most special of all are Nan's spare kisses, always ready for let-downs and misses. A warm-hearted celebration of the endless supply of love (and treats!) that grandmothers have for their grandchildren.

Eve's Nan has lots of spares. A spare key in her pot plant for after-school drop-ins. Seats at the table for morning tea pop-ins. A collection of teacups in all shapes and sizes. And always, yes, always, delicious surprises. Most special of all are Nan's spare kisses that make everything right.

From CBCA award-winning author Pip Harry and illustrator Yiscah Marcatili.

Bookmail! I was sold on this as soon as I read that she was making a f'ck-it list after her marriage implodes 🀣

THANK YOU so much for the gifted copy!

Here's the blurb:

A hilarious and moving debut novel about a woman who writes a β€˜f*ck-it’ list to reclaim herself after her marriage unexpectedly implodes.

Forty-nine-year-old Grace Miller is the ultimate good girl. Good wife, good mother, good role model. She has to be, she’s been married to a notable evangelical Christian pastor for nearly thirty years.

But when Grace’s marriage implodes, she realises she’s spent her entire life putting other people’s needs first – and she’s had enough. Determined to shake things up, Grace writes a β€˜f*ck-it’ list of fifty bad decisions to complete before she turns fifty. But just as she starts to reclaim herself, her family throws her some unexpected curve balls that threaten to derail the plan.

With the emotional heart and complex family dynamics of Marian Keyes and Monica McInerney, combined with the sharp humour of Kathy Lette and Caitlin Moran, Disgraceful tramples the idea that women should grow old gracefully, and posits that sometimes bad decisions are the best ones you can make.

My book of classic nursery tales by James Mayhew

Some of these classics may well be the building blocks to me loving fantasy books so much. I have loved reading these classics and I'm hoping Rex will start having some favourites he wants me to read. (Over and over 🀣)
The illustrations are gorgeous and I love explaining whats happening in the images as I read him these stories.

Included in this book is:

Goldilocks and the three bears
The gingerbread man
The three Billy goats gruff
The enormous turnip
Little red riding hood
The tortoise and the hare
The three little pigs and the big bad wolf
The vain little mouse

What's your favourite childhood classic tale?

Thank you so much to for the gifted copy of this gorgeous book

Who's read the Divergent series? (Or maybe just watched the movies?)

I'm still pinching myself that sent me this amazing PR box featuring Veronica Roths newest novel, Seek The Traitors Son.

I've seen some early feedback from other readers who are all saying they are really enjoying this book, which makes me even more excited to read it. Thank you so much to the publisher for the gifted copy!

⬇️ Here's the blurb:

AN EPIC ROMANTIC DYSTOPIAN FANTASY BEGINS

A world at war. A prophecy that will shake the stars. A love that transcends it all.

Elegy Ahn did not ask for destiny to find her.

She is happy with her life as a soldier, defending her small country from the Talusar, a powerful nation that worships a deadly Fever. A fever that blesses half of its victims with mysterious gifts.

But then she's summoned to hear a prophecy-her, and the most ruthless of Talusar generals, Rava Vidar. Brought face-to-face, they learn that one of them will lead their people to victory over the other... but they don't know which. And at the center of both of their fates: a man. A man that, Elegy is told, she will fall in love with.

In just one day, Elegy's old life-her job, her purpose, and her future-is over. She and Rava are destined to collide, with the fate of their nations hanging in the balance. And when they do, only one will be left standing.

Elegy intends to make sure it's her. #seekthetraitorsson #Divergent #dystopian
Remember how I said I was officially in my Angel era this year? I WASN'T LYING. I cannot stop pinching myself that I was sent an early copy of White Lights by Lauren Kate. I quickly read the first chapter and IT WAS SO GOOD. I can already tell this will be an absolute binge read and I can't wait to see what happens.

Thank you so much to the team at for this gorgeous early copy!

Chloe Gong is quoted as saying it's the perfect leap into Angelic debauchery πŸ‘€ (this would be quite enough to tell me on a story 🀣)

⬇️ Here's the blurb:

When mysterious Rafe de la Cruz rolls into Desdemona’s life to recruit her to the elite film school Acheron, Dez has no reason to trust him – and no other option. A violent attack has just put her brother in the hospital…and Dez is the only suspect. Guilt-ridden and grieving, she finds herself running from the law to chase her longtime dream of making movies, at a school she’s never heard of. Soon, she’s dropped into Acheron’s cutthroat world of seductive intrigue, power on an otherworldly scale, and deadly competition.

Acheron may seem like the ticket to a future Dez has always wanted, but as she delves deeper into the secret work being done there, she finds herself trapped in an existential conflict on a cosmic scale – with more than her heart on the line.

OMG 😭😭😭 Stumble inside from surgery and THIS is waiting in my mailbox. AND π—œπ—§'𝗦 π—¦π—œπ—šπ—‘π—˜π——!? So exciting - thank you SO MUCH for the gifted copy!
Dystopia romantasy, slowburn with Angel's and Daemons omg yes please.

I am OFFICIALLY in my Angel and Demon era this year

Is this on your tbr?

The Shadows That Listen by Louisa Carmody

⬇️ Here's the blurb:

It's been five years since the world was brought to its knees by an immortal war. Daemons crawled from the depths of hell and the sky bled gold as the angels arrived. Humanity thought it was saved, but the angels did not come to protect us.

Amara is a human warrior working for the Angel Intelligence Agency. She spends her days searching for those who don't make it home after curfew. But when her boyfriend Jeremy goes missing, she decides to venture into the shadows to bring him back. Even if it means death.

Nathaniel is an archangel tasked with leading the destruction of humanity, for which he cares little. He doesn't have time to protect little humans running around in the dark, especially those who stab him in the stomach.

But Nathaniel and Amara will soon realise they share a foe, one that lurks in the shadows and stalks them from the skies. She might long to kill him, but Amara knows that having an angel at her side is the only way to find the man she loves.

The shadows lengthen. They listen. Who will survive the night?

Deathbringer by Sonia Tagliareni

"𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒉𝒆 π’˜π’“π’‚π’‘π’” π’Žπ’† π’˜π’Šπ’•π’‰ π’•π’‰π’Šπ’” π’Šπ’π’π’–π’”π’Šπ’π’ 𝒐𝒇 π’”π’‚π’‡π’†π’•π’š, π’•π’‰π’Šπ’” π’”π’Šπ’π’†π’π’• π’‘π’“π’π’Žπ’Šπ’”π’† 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒆 π’˜π’Šπ’π’ 𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉 π’Žπ’† π’Šπ’‡ 𝑰 𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒍"

There's a lot in this book worth mentioning, but I want to start with saying don't go into this expecting it to be a romantasy. Possibly it will end up feeling more that way in the next book, but for this one it was definitely more solidly in the dark academia, murder mystery area. Which, by the way, it shouldn't have surprised me with the title, but it DID surprise me how much death there was in this book 🀣

Anyway, Viola, hates magic. So she pretends that she doesn't have any and her sister pretends that SHE'S the one who their powerful grandmothers magic was passed down to. When you have magic here, you study at Gorhail, which is our spooky academy, surrounded by woods that have various dangers lurking. The magic system is really cool, and depending on the type of magic you have, depends on the "relic" you have for the magic. Mortemagi (like Viola) wear cuffs, Aspieri have SNAKES (so cool). There's also another house of magic users called Arkani. As a rule, these houses are pretty separate and do their own things, and they DEFINITELY are not allowed to reproduce any "crossmages" as they are too dangerous.

There's a lot happening with this story, so it was easy for me to be absorbed and binge it over a few sittings. There's ghosts, a lot of history, necromancy, secrets and a slowly simmering love story as well. I really enjoyed this story, and many of the side characters were very interesting. I am looking forward to seeing where it goes in book 2.

Thank you so much to for the gifted copy

Fairy Forest by Sheila Knaggs Jennifer Falkner

This is a book I would have loved loved LOVED as a kid. The idea of fairies coming out at night (and maybe taking some vegemite toast) would have had me thinking about all the possibilities in the world. I love seeing bits of Australia with added fairies in this. This is a beautiful story with gorgeous illustrations that will be read over and over in this house.

Special mention to the moon and stars - Rex has decided these are his favourite pages.

Thank you so much to for the gifted copy

➑️ What was one of your favourite books as a child?
She finds out her dads a serial killer? And we get to come along as the court case unfolds? Say lesssssss yes please.

I'm excited to read this one, thanks so much to for the gifted copy of Happy Woman by Abby Corson

Here's the blurb:

Perhaps all this time I was merely an origami of a happy woman. Complicated to put together, easy to rip to shreds.

Gwynne Hogg is an enviable woman – until she discovers her beloved dad is a serial killer.

As her dad’s decades-old secrets finally catch up with him, Gwynne struggles to reconcile the man she trusted most with the crimes he’s accused of. She tries to process it all while keeping the wheels of her β€˜normal’ life turning. That means caring for her depressed mum, enduring the stares of other parents on the nursery run, and showing up for clients at her PR firm, all under the relentless gaze of the media.

But as the court case unfolds, Gwynne can’t shake the fear that a murderous gene might live inside her too.

Her thoughts grow darker, her once-happy life unravels, and she begins to wonder what she herself might be capable of …

A box of gorgeous children's picture books turned up from and we just couldn't wait to get into them.

✨️ Time to go to the park by Emma Bowd Leila Rudge

We are most DEFINITELY in our park going era, so I was particularly excited to recieve this. The illustrations are so fun, and we love pointing out all the different things on the page that we see at the park. Swings, sandpits, slides and skateboards (ok and Rex was actually pretty stoked to find some bins as well 🀣)

✨️ Through the darkening sea by Claire Saxby Peter Cheong

This is a more moody picture book, following the journey of a whale down into the darker depths of the ocean. It is very lyrical and it was nice to see some lesser known sea creatures be mentioned.

✨️ Costa's Garden Fruit by Costa Georgiadis & Brenna Quinlan

All about fruit! This book has many teaching moments about fruit and how they grow and can be spread. I love the fruit wheel of Fortune, where we can discuss what fruits (some we may have previously thought as vegetables) might be bitter, sweet or sour. It discusses fruits having seasons and about the vitamins and nutrients fruits contain. This is a book jam packed with information

Thanks so much to the publisher for the gifted copies!
