Adventures of the bookish kind
VICTOR: Tales of the Void #6
As far as plans go, this is wildly simple. But at least that means there’s less things to go wrong. Most of the Celestials remain in their village, but their elite have come out to this silver-rimmed clearing to lay a trap for the harbingers. Step one: lure the...
HOSTAGE: Tales of the Void #5
Now that the harbingers have tasted my blood, they can follow me anywhere. I’m a hostage in my own body. “You must have a death wish.” Major’s gaze is dark. “If we’d done it my way, we could be out of this already.” Nerves frazzled, I can’t help resorting to my...
HUNTER: Tales of the Void #4
I stand frozen in equal amounts terror and awe as a gnarled hand claws at the edge of the portal. Kip shudders, the star-dog’s shimmering coat brushing my leg. “Can’t you shut it?” I manage. “It’s not my portal. I have no control over it,” Major snarls back. A second...
MERCENARY: Tales of the Void #3
We’re a ragtag team, if ever I’ve seen one. Gathered around Major’s battered table in the dimly lit bunker, there’s no less than five kinds of crazy. Jones, the intellectual, dissecting a cicada under a magnifying glass. Flint, the muscle; he’s too big for his shirt,...
PARTNER: Tales of the Void #2
You’d think that meeting a dog made of stars and an old friend of my parents would prepare me for anything. But I still gape when the glowing, nebulous portal appears. Auburn and purple swirl together in a maelstrom of color suspended in the air. Major turns, hand at...
SURVIVOR: Tales of the Void #1
Surrounded by the bustle of the Holuvian Interstellar market, I finally admit how bad of a pickle I’m in. No, not just a pickle. This is worse. It’s a situation. This situation has left me stranded on an unknown planet with nary a coin nor friend to my name. I grip my...
TALES OF THE VOID: Flash Fiction Series
Hi friends! It's been a while since I was active on my blog, but if you've been keeping up through my newsletter or my social media (follow me on Instagram, it'll be fun!) you might have heard that I wrote a six-part series of flash fiction called The Nebulous Saga...
Top Ten New Favourite Books From 2020
Well...hello. 🙈 I'm sheepishly returning after waaay too long of not posting. Not promising to be super regular again, by any means, but I'm here for now and I hope to step up my game again a little more. We'll see! 😅 The end of the year is almost upon us, so...
SONGFLIGHT, Michelle M. Bruhn – Character Interview

Being a Bookworm isn’t Exclusive
You can be more than one thing. I've been thinking a bit about this concept lately, and I recently saw someone else post about it, so I thought I'd splurge some thoughts on the topic here. I am a writer, but...that doesn't have to (shouldn't!) be exclusive. ...
Book Review: The Weaver Trilogy, Lindsay A. Franklin
On the 19th of May, the final book in the gorgeous Weaver trilogy released, stealing my heart along with it. Actually, it stole my heart back in 2018 when the first book released, so that's no news really. But the point remains: The Weaver Trilogy is finished! ...
Would I Survive In My 2020 Reads?
I've had a pretty great reading year so far. So many good books that have instantly become all-time favourites! So in honour of all those amazing books, I thought it'd be fun to see...if I'd actually survive switching places with the main character of a couple of...

It's another book launch!! The books are coming in thick and fast and they're all so great! 😍 Today I'm joining in the blog tour for MOONSCRIPT, a gorgeous fantasy novel that released on the 7th. I had the absolute honour of working through edits on this book with the...
Judging Books By Their Covers: Science Fiction Edition!
Last year I did a fun little post where I found a bunch of book covers and guessed what the books were about WITHOUT reading the blurb. Then I checked to see how accurate my guesses were. Mostly, I was way off, but it was a heeap of fun so now we're back with EPISODE...
Book Review: DUST, by Kara Swanson
2020 is a glorious year as far as book releases go. There's been so many amazing books already, and so many more to come!! I'm here to squeal about one of those upcoming books today. I definitely squealed out loud when I first saw the cover, and I have possibly not...
Dear Creative…Don’t Fuel Inspiration With Guilt
Well friends, it's been a wild few weeks, huh? It feels like everything's been happening all at once and it's pretty insane. I know that a lot of the creative community (myself included) have been struggling with inspiration in the last while. With the stress of this...
Identifying Bookworms 101
You've all heard tell of these mysterious creatures, I'm sure. Flighty, often reclusive, sometimes three hundred years old and living in tiny hilltop cottages. Commonly known as...the bookworm. I've found most survival guides are lacking in information about these...
My Top Three Favourite Character Tropes
It's time to gush about some of my favourite characters!! There's some certain types of characters that I fall in love with every. single. time. because I just love that sort of character! So let's squeal together about some favourite tropes. The Honourable...
7 Releases I Can’t Wait For In 2020
It's that time of year, folks. The time when I squeal about all of my most anticipated upcoming releases!!! I have a confession to make: most of these books are releasing from Enclave Publishing. Am I a fan of theirs? Maybe. We'll never know. 🤷🏻♀️ I feel like...
Books I Should Have Read in 2019 (but didn’t)
Happy New Year!!! 💛 2020 has arrived, and what better way to start of the year than with a list of books that I maybe...probably...definitely should have gotten to last year, but I didn't. 😂 I'm not going to cover all of the books that should be in this book stack of...
December Updates and Onward to 2020!
Somehow November passed by in a whirl of busyness and there's only twenty-six days left in the year. 🙈 For once, I don't feel like I've been totally left behind in a swirl of craziness! The year has been full, but I feel like I've been more present and more...
Short Story: The Prince’s Manservant
A while back, I posted two little flash fiction stories—The Man Wearing Black and The Odds—and it was heaps of fun and ever since then I've been hoping to do some more. I've tried several times, actually, but I just haven't been inspired for any short stories. Until...
Book Review: CORAL, Sara Ella
One of my most anticipated reads of this year was Coral by the wonderful Sara Ella. I adore Sara and her Unblemished Trilogy, and as soon as I heard about her next book I was soo pumped to read it. And Coral finally released into the great wide world this week!! So to...
My Characters Take “What Character Am I?” Quizzes!
Sometimes I come up with good blog post ideas. Other times, I come up with ideas, and I'm honestly not sure if they're good or not, but I'm just going to run with it anyway and see how this turns out! The title is fairly explanatory of today's idea. I'm going to get...
Writing Updates: November 2019
It feels like heaps too long since I did a writing update on my blog, so with the coming of NaNoWriMo once again I thought it was the perfect time to fix that! Some of you will know that most of this year I've been working on and off on my novel A Sprig of...
Becoming a Writer 101
Disclaimer: this is a humourous post meant to amuse, not to instruct. You have been warned. 😉 Since last week's post turned out to be actually helpful, and overall I've been a decently useful person lately...I'm way past due for another 101 post. This one is for all...
How to Get Started on Bookstagram
This month is my one year bookstagram birthday, so here I am with my thimble-load of wisdom, to convince you all to join me in this adventure. This was going to be a 101 post, but somehow it turned into an actually useful post, so I decided to just go with it. 😂...
Pairing Books and Disney Movies: the true fairytale match
Who loves books? *raises hand* Who loves Disney movies? *raises other hand* Who keeps coming up with ridiculously random ideas for the sake of post content? *sheepishly raises hand again* Aaaanyway, let me explain this idea. I love Disney and books, so why not...
Fantasy Friday: Top Favourite Fantasy Books
The end of the year is looming already. It might be a few months away yet, but it'll be over before I realise what's happening. So earlier this week I was looking over the list of books I've read this year, and happy-sighing over how amazing this year has been...
Hyped Books I Didn’t Want to Read (but now I do)
Time for another post where I scream about all the books I tried not to want to read... which I now want to read. 🤷🏻♀️ It might just be me, but often if I see a book that's really really hyped, I'll try pretend it doesn't exist. If everyone is screaming about...
When You Feel Like You’ve Been Editing Forever…
Editing is hard work. First of all, you have to make some sense of that first draft chaos. Then you have to make it actually good. All the characters and the plot and the world building and all. the. things. And it doesn't happen after one lot of edits. (I wish.) It's...
Giveaway + Interview: OH BELOVED ONE, Amanda Brown
First of all: it was my blog's birthday at the beginning of this week! It didn't quite fit into my schedule to do anything to celebrate, so go eat some ice cream for me tonight. That'll be celebration enough. 😛 Anniversaries aside, I'm excited to be part of a...
Bookish Updates
It's been another age and a half since I did a random writing updates post, so I thought that since it's the dawn of the new season (practically September already???) it was high time to sit down with a cup of tea and chat bookishness together! I do more in depth...
How To Move On From Your Favourite Book 101
Disclaimer: this is a humourous post meant to amuse, not to instruct. You have been warned. 😉 There's always that one book. That book which you absolutely ADORE, but as soon as it's over it's like all the other books have lost their vibrance. All you can think about...
Judging Books By Their Covers
Assuming you've read the title, you may be expecting me to go on a long spiel of how no one should judge books by their covers. But no! Today is something totally different. I am going to be judging books by their covers. I'm going to do a google search for YA...
Book Haul: July 2019!
I don't normally do book hauls because I don't normally get all that many books per month. Often, I don't get one new book every month, so basically: it'd get pretty boring pretty quickly. Today is an exception. Because all! the! books!! 😍 This month has been...
Superheroes, 1820s, and London – Oh My!
As a bit of a superhero fan myself, I am incredibly pleased with the slow spread of superhero books. There's a plethora of superhero movies, but not all that many good superhero novels. When I heard of K.M. Weiland's new book, I was excited for several good reasons....
How To Write A Book Review 101
Disclaimer: this is a humourous post meant to amuse, not to instruct. You have been warned. 😉 Book reviews play a pretty big role in the bookworm world these days. They can help readers find their new favourite book. They can help warn readers from books with content...
Surviving a Deadline

Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag
Welcome to my Monday blog post! Because I forgot to do it on Friday. 🙈 I've been terribly inconsistent with my blog posts lately, and it's sad. But despite the randomness, I'm jumping in today anyway to make up for missing last week. July is upon us! We're...
Aladdin: Movie Review (aka: flailing)
I'm back in town, friends! I was planning to write a review/fangirl of Aladdin last Friday, but unfortunately other (exciting) deadlines got in the way. However, it didn't stop me for long! I'm here and I'm ready to flail over this movie foreverrr. (The three Rs are...
Songs I Wish Were Books

TBR Time: Top Seven Books I Want to Read
Some people think the bookworm life is all about reading books. They're right. Or rather, that's what it should be about. In reality, we're all terrible at keeping up with our TBRs and they will one day fall on us and crush us all. 😂 That said, today I'm going...
Audiobooks: Five Reasons to Flail About Them
People have been telling me that I should get into audiobooks for years. I always listened politely, but I wasn't really sure about it. Audiobooks just weren't my thing, okay? Or so said Wise Jane Who Had Never Tried One In Her Life. (Other than in the car on long...
Updates and Life Chats
As I'm sitting down to write this post, I actually have no idea what I'm going to say, but I'm here to say it anyway! (I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or a good thing. 😂) I actually haven't done a general 'updates' post since the end of 2018, so it's high time I...
Marketing For The Shy Author
It's pretty common knowledge that to be a writer, you have to spend a lot of time sitting around writing. It makes sense, then, that most of the writers I've met are introverts. They're lovely human beans with imaginations like the sun as it bursts through the morning...
How To Crush Camp NaNo 101
Disclaimer: this is a humourous post meant to amuse, not to instruct. You have been warned. 😉 Here's a little behind the scenes peek at my 101 posts. Cover your ears quickly, if you actually thought these were legitimately serious writing advice posts, because I'm...

A Combination Interrogation: I finally catch up with the blog tags
I love it when someone nominates me for a blog tag. It always makes me feel special that you would think of me and want to know my answers to all the questions. That's just really cool to me, okay? 💕 Despite that, I try to space out the amount of tags I do, because if...
It’s Okay to Say No
I don't know about you, but I really don't like saying no. No matter what it is -- writing related, life related, anything -- if someone asks me if I could help them, my automatic response is to say yes, look at my schedule, and think "oh no." Is this something...
Then vs Now: How Far You’ve Come
Comparing yourself to other people is never a good idea. Either you get proud and think less of them, or you get depressed and think less of yourself. Neither is a good state of mind, needless to say. However, comparison isn't always bad, if you compare to the right...
Warrior Women: Mini Reviews
Some days I sit down at my computer with a blog post idea all sorted out in my brain and ready to write. Some days I wander around the house trying to get inspired for something to post about. Other days, I'm 99% sure that my brain invents ingenious ideas just to give...
Top Five Reasons To Reread
I'm a shameless rereader. It doesn't matter how many times I've read a book, if I enjoyed it, I'm always up for another read. On the other end of the scale, my sister is a shameless NEVER rereader. She has so many new books to read that she doesn't see the point of...
Aesthetic Bookshelves 101
Disclaimer: this is a humourous post meant to amuse, not to instruct. You have been warned. 😉 If you've been in the bookworm life for very long, you probably own a fair stack of books. And if you own a stack of books, you've probably got a bookshelf as well. And if...
Project Inspire
Being inspired and inspiring other people is such an amazing feeling. I don't know about you but hearing that I've inspired someone always makes my day. A few weeks ago, Jenna Terese messaged me about this blog tag-style plan she'd cooked up, otherwise known as...
How to Love an Author
Writing books is hard work. All in agreement say 'aye'. Authors put a lot of effort and time and tears and heart into writing the amazing books we get to read at our leisure. It's amazing to be able to read them, but you know what's even more amazing? We can...
You Are Not Your Book
As writers, we spend hours and hours pouring ourselves into our books. All that time spent working on your characters, your world, your plot. The planning, the writing, the editing. There's so much of the author in every book on your shelf. But as writers, we...
Book Review: A THOUSAND PERFECT NOTES, C.G. Drews
For the first time in a very long time, I actually bought myself a book! This gorgeous little book has been on my radar for a while. Partially because it looks pretty cool, and partially because the author is Australian and that practically makes us next door...
Which of My Characters Would Wear a Kilt: Tag
It's been ages since I did one of these random tag posts, and I ran out of my backlog of post ideas, so this tag came to my rescue. It was high time for a casual talk-about-characters post anyway. 😉 Thank you Catwing for tagging me for the 'voted most likely' tag!...
Three Ways Your First Sentence Isn’t As Good As You Thought It Was
First sentences are first impressions. After the title, cover, and blurb, your first sentence is going to be the first thing about your book that will capture the reader and pull them into the story. I've even bought books off first sentence impressions before. No...
A Life of Adventure: 2018
In three days, this year will be over. And if there was one word to describe the whole year, it'd be...unexpected. I've learnt so much this year. About God, about myself, about writing. It's been a crazy ride, but a good ride. And since it's nearly over, it's...
Three Steps to Using Pinterest Well
If you're anything like me, Pinterest is both a blessing and a curse. It's so helpful and handy but it can be really, really easy to procrastinate on it. But though it can be dangerous, we shouldn't totally throw it out the window. With a bit of training, it can serve...
Book Review and Author Interview: BLANK MASTERMIND, Rosey Mucklestone

When NaNo Eats your Blog Schedule: NaNoWriMo Recap
Sometimes NaNoWriMo eats your blog schedule, hat, coat, feathers, and all. I had good intentions to hit 50k on Friday, then write this blog post right afterward. I did hit the 50k, but then I forgot all about the blog post part until almost ten at night. It just one...
Flash Fiction: The Odds
A few months ago, I tried my hand at some flash fiction and, despite being mildly terrified while deciding if I should actually post it or not, I actually came out the other side determined to do it again one day. So here I am, only four months later, with another...
The Facade of Perfect: Online vs Real Life
The online world is amazing. You can meet people with similar passions and callings and personality as you. You can find accountability, encouragement, inspiration. Friends and role models. I love being a part of the online community. I love connecting with writers...
Five Middle Grade Novels I Love
Young Adult fiction is totally my favourite thing when it comes to books, but sometimes I need a bit of a break from the thick monsters that people call YA these days (looking right at you, Brandon Sanderson), and middle grade fiction is a wonderful place to go....
Introducing My NaNoWriMo Project
I've been making hints about my next book for a few weeks now, in both blog posts and newsletters, but always being very vague and mysterious about it. Because I, frankly, didn't know enough about it to actually explain it any more than 'it's about secret agents',...
Recipe: Plot Twists 101
Disclaimer: this is a humourous post meant to amuse, not to instruct. You have been warned. 😉 We've all had that one book that totally blew our minds with the crazy twists and turns of the plot, always keeping us on our toes. How do authors come up with such stunning...
Am Currently – Updates on All the Things
I haven't done a life update post for AGES. I think it was about April when I did my last one and somehow the year has just continued doing its thing, and we're actually already closer to the end of October than the beginning. So it's high time for me to do a little...
Why To Find A Brainstorm Buddy
I mentioned the term 'brainstorm buddy' in my last post, and this week I'm actually staying with one of my brainstorm buddies, so what better time to talk about how amazing they are? Every time I'm stuck in my novel I go hunt down a brainstorm buddy and I never...
My Plotting Process: Making a Concept into a Story
National Novel Writing Month (more commonly dubbed 'NaNoWriMo') is coming up in just a few weeks, so I thought it would be a fun time to take a peek into a bit of my novelling process. Every time I write a book, I use a slightly different process, because I like...
Cover Reveal: ROMANOV, Nadine Brandes
I find it ironic that since doing a post on 'how to afford books as a broke bookworm' I have done three posts. Two out of those three have been me getting excited about books. Is that going to stop me from continuing with this post of all my book-excitement?...
The Get To Know Me Tag – Writer’s Edition
I love seeing these questionnaire tags that drift across the online universe, partly because I love learning more about my friends, and also because the writing community is all so interconnected and it's wonderful to see such a supportive friend group. But today I'm...
Book Review: WHAT BLOOMS FROM DUST, James Markert

Touring My TBR
Several months ago I came up with this brilliant idea that I could do a fun post about my TBR for the second half of the year. Unfortunately...I completely forgot. And now there's only four-and-a-bit months left. Is that stopping me from doing this anyway? Absolutely...

Top Ten Favourite Friendships in Fiction
It's been a while since I've done a ramble-about-books post aside from reivews and launches, so when some suggested I post about fictional friendships I thought it was the perfect opportunity. Obviously, I could've done a post about why friendships are so good to have...
Flash Fiction: The Man Wearing Black
Despite it being a Camp NaNoWriMo month—and thus having me busy writing the first draft of a new novel—I've been in a bit of a short story mood recently. New characters appearing and bouncing around inside my head until I grant them a short scene, old characters...
Why You Should Never Become Part of a Book Fandom 101

The 777 Challenge – Falling Sun
I've only got a fairly short post today, but I'm going to point it all on Camp NaNo. (Because I need a scapegoat and that is as good as I can get. 😛 ) July is almost halfway done, and the writing has been all happening like usual. I feel like I haven't been writing...
Book Review: FAWKES, Nadine Brandes
Remember, remember, the fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason why the Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot! I have flailed about Nadine Brandes several times on this site, but just in case you don't remember the other times:...
July’s Camp NaNo Project (Feat. Why I Write So Many Novels)
If you've hung around here for very long, you'll probably have put two and two together and worked out that I can't do maths. What can I say? I'm a writer, not an engineer. You also might've put four and four together and realised that I've written eight novels in the...
Tapping the Secret of Character Voice
Considering the writing craft is a lot about silently sitting in a cosy corner and transferring your brain onto a page, there's a lot of terms and confusing jargon about Voice. Author voice, character voice, tiny-little-grammar-Nazi-on-your-shoulder voice. Needless to...
Writing Update – Another Novel Finished! (+ SNIPPETS)

Be Still and Listen
In the chaos of life, it's very easy to get lost. To get sucked into the everyday, and let that creeping feeling of stress and responsibilities overwhelm us. Even the most chill, relaxed person in the world stresses about things. How on earth am I possibly going to...
Why You Should Read Your Old Writing
Writers, as with all craftsmen/women, are constantly growing in their craft. We work on it every week, every month, every year, and as time goes on we learn how to make our stories better, stronger, deeper. With that quality development, it's very easy to look back on...
Writing Action Scenes That Are Both Successful and Satisfying
One of the most common struggles I hear about new (and not so new) writers having, is the struggle of writing good action scenes. Action scenes can be incredibly hard to write in a realistic but also easily readable way. It's one thing to have everything perfectly...
What Star Wars Can Teach Us About Storytelling
First of all, may the fourth be with you. In honour of this day, here's a photo of me and my friends/family cosplaying as Star Wars characters. 😛 It's Star Wars day today. The day on which we say nerdy puns and should all speak in Han Solo quotes because he's...
Sometimes Good Things Must Come to an End

April Camp NaNo: RECAP
April has been a little bit of a whirlwind for me. Deadlines to meet, books to read, adventures to have, and Camp NaNo to win. Despite all efforts to the contrary, I've pulled through with my head still on my shoulders and my brain still in there somewhere too---so...

The Joyful Tag for Writers
I'm dropping in today from in the middle of a mini 'writing retreat week' to do a little tag that Hannah Gaudette created a few days ago. The joyful tag for writers! That sounds like a perfect tag for me. I'm going to be taking my WIP-related answers from A Sprig of...
