24.01.2022 After walking five girls in and out of this gate the last nine years, we are shutting this gate for the last time today. My last preschooler on her last day. School and the larger world is calling her wild spirit. Thank you to the staff of St Joseph’s Pre-School for nine wonderful years. . .... #preschooldays #lastchild #lastdayofpreschool #fiveyearsold See more

14.01.2022 So many heroines to be found in the world. Strong women we can seek to emulate with their grit and determination and courage. We need not look very far. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg - defender of women’s rights and equal opportunity, second female judge to serve on the Supreme Court in the US. An academic and a seeker of justice. A marvellous example of humanity. What a loss, but what light she leaves in her path!... . . #ruthbaderginsburg #femaleleaders See more

12.01.2022 Love Gone Wrong. Great category for these stories. Thank you @carolynswriting ! . . #repost @carolynswriting... #AusYAOct20 InstaChallenge Day 21. - Love gone wrong. Beautiful Mess by Claire Christian was her Text Prize-winning debut novel about Ava and Gideon, two teens who are struggling in different ways. Ava is depressed and grieving the death of her best friend since childhood, Kelly. Not to mention the non-relationship with her mother, MIA forever. Gideon is shy & severely anxious, but when they meet, things click into place.... until they don't. I love a teen romance that doesn't make it all out to be happy sunset endings, but not all negative, either! - Inside the Tiger by Hayley Lawrence is an awesome love story of sorts with a major difference... 17 yo Bel writes to an Aussie death row prisoner in the notorious Bang Kwang 'Tiger' prison in Bangkok. When Micah writes back, they form a relationship & smart but emotional Bel falls fast. She wrangles boy-next-door mate Eli into going to Thailand with her... and what follows will surprise you. It's a tangled and incredibly emotional ball of ethical and moral dilemmas which will promise one thing - you will think about this book for a long time afterwards. No easy answers here - *Trigger warnings for both books - mental health issues, suicide, drug use, sex, violence #insidethetiger #beautifulmess #clairechristian #hayleylawrence #loveozya #yafiction #yalovestory

07.01.2022 Thanks for the feature @bookishbiologist ! . #repost @bookishbiologist ... Fun fact: the unicorn is the national animal of Scotland . . Reading update: I'm currently reading From Blood and Ash and LOVE LOVE LOVING IT!! . . Life update: it's 57 days until Christmas and I cannot wait drop your gift suggestions in the comments! We've also recently adopted pics to come very soon . . Today's book feature is "Ruby Tuesday" by Hayley Lawrence, courtesy of the wonderful @penguinbooksaus . About Ruby Tuesday: Ruby Tuesday explores the difficulties of being a girl growing up in today’s world, and how strength and healing can be found in the wildest of places a celebration of the joy to be found in music and creativity, and of strong, equal friendships and relationships. Ruby was named after a song about freedom, but she’s far from free. She’s trapped by her mum’s accident, her past as a famous pianist a distant memory. This was never the plan both of them invisible and voiceless in a dusty small town. And Ruby wants to be heard. But that was before Joey Milano. Before that awful party.Now the only thing Ruby’s sure of is that she’ll never ever trust anyone again. When the opportunity of a lifetime comes knocking, and a boy from her past reaches out, Ruby’s not fooled. Some things are broken beyond repair. Or are they? . . #rubytuesday #hayleylawrence #penguinbooks #penguinteen #bookpost #bookrecommendation #yabooks #bookshelf #homeinspo #wooddecor #farmhouse #lifeupdate #readingupdate #unicorn #unicorns #rubytuesdaybook See more

06.01.2022 Ruby has officially been set to sail into the world now! Thank you to everyone who attended my launch @kinokuniya_sydney last night and to the incredible @eleni_hale_ who bantered with me as we launched her! @penguinteenaus @curtisbrownaus @loveozya Today’s surprise included this gorgeous montage by @halfdesertedstreets and an admission that she wanted to hunt down some of my characters and terrorise them! .... #repost @halfdesertedstreets Ruby Tuesday and a few current favourites. @hayleyblawrence’s newest contemporary #LoveOzYA novel was just what I needed to help me find my reading rhythm again after a delirious school term. I’m hoping to write a longer review soon, but in the meantime just know that I wanted to track down and terrify each character who contributed to Ruby’s broken little heart. Thank you for sending this one my way, @penguinbooksaus / @penguinteenaus and congratulations on your newest book baby, Hayley! . #rubytuesday #rubytuesdaybook #hayleylawrence #loveozya #yafiction #contemporaryfiction #australianauthors #australianwriters #australianwomenswriters #penguinteen #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram

02.01.2022 For the writers ... what are the most satisfying words you write in a story? Is it the opener? A passage that sings? The final sentence? For me, it’s these two words. It is done.
