I've started re-reading Game of Thrones... I forgot Jon Snow and Robb were only 14! Wish me luck as I fall down the rabbit hole 😭😱

I'M NOT READY FOR THIS SERIES TO END. Don't go, Jalan and Snorri 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
FINALLY I'm starting this one! I can't find it in shops anywhere because apparently it's out of print, but I've managed to snag an audiobook version 😁
Detectives and doughnuts. Perfect combination?
My favourite Aussie author stack. Also special shoutout to Blaze of Glory by Michael Pryor - one of my all-time favourite YA books. There's magic, mystery, steampunk and alternate history, which are pretty much all the things I love. 10/10 would read again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
I've heard great things about this series, and yet I am worried about the level of romance. I'm not a googly-eyes kind of girl 😐
I'm listening to this book, and I'm 99.9% sure it's narrated by the human equivalent of Kovu from The Lion King 2... or the spiritual successor to Xander from Buffy. I might have to actually consider buying this as a book instead of listening. My strength fails me. Send help.
THIS BOOK. THIS BOOK, YOU GUYS. Do you want to read another Six of Crows, but this time bigger, badder and more brutal? If you said yes at any point, you need to read The Lies of Locke Lamora. Ocean's Eleven meets Game of Thrones but with way less inter-familial relationships. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
OK GUYS LET ME WAX ALL POETIC ABOUT ONE OF MY FAVOURITE AUTHORS OF ALL TIME. Fantasy world? Check. A level of wit and deep insight rarely seen in other authors? Double-check. Characters you can fall in love with? Triple-check. Did I mention 40-plus books? No? Get reading! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
I generally judge books on how I feel about them a few months after the fact, and using that system I have to say I liked A Darker Shade of Magic, but I didn't love it. Kell and Lila were serviceable, but I never thought anyone was in peril. I did really like the idea of the four Londons. ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
There is something so comforting about going back to your old faves. I hadn't read The Hobbit in a LONG time so when I reread it I was surprised at how packed full of detail it is and how much I missed the first time. There's a reason this series is a fantasy benchmark. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
I really like Joe Abercrombie and I really liked Half a King, the first book in a YA trilogy. It was different to what I was expecting - it's not as packed full of witty banter as his other works - but Yarvi is a brilliant protagonist and there are some genuine surprises in this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
So I just started this as an audiobook, and it's not starting off great. I feel like I'd really like this as an actual book. So far I've got an emo-Peter Parker narrator (the actual narrator, not the character), Renaissance Faire opening music and a whole bunch of very interesting accents. 🙄
Weirdly enough like 5 of these random books I grabbed together are going to be in my bookclub's list this year (aussiebookclub over on Instagram and Goodreads). But mainly I just needed some rainbows in my life today...
You know, I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. Granted, a lot of people (and by a lot I mean a LOT) of people have compared this to The Lies of Locke Lamora. Six of Crows doesn't knock Locke Lamora off his "ultimate heist book" throne, but it comes pretty close! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
