Melbourne Meet Up Recap

June 30, 2014 Posted by angelreads Events 1 Comment

Meet up

On the 28th of June I headed to the heart of Melbourne for a fun adventure of book shopping and talking with a bunch of Victorian book bloggers and booktubers.

On the day, I woke up early (well early for me on a weekend and holidays), got ready and waited for my aunty. We headed to her work before I left for the event.

After having my favourite drink from Starbucks (White Chocolate Mocha), I headed to Federation Square. I was the first one there but I was in the city pretty early. It was not long after that, that Ely arrived then everyone started flowing in. It was great meeting everyone, especially those whom I talk to quite  a lot on twitter.

After everyone arrived, we headed to our first book shop Dymocks and lets just say it was the best. After Dymocks we headed to lunch and I had a really nice chat with Ely and Ebony about, you guessed it – books!

We then went to a  couple more book stores and everyone starting to stack up on the books. It was fun walking around the city, going into book stores, recommending books to each other. It was just a really good day sharing it with people that love books just as much as I do.

I  am pretty sure each of us bought at least 2 books each, with Miranda having  bought the most books of 15. Yes you read right 15! It was really an amazing day. I got to meet some amazing readers, and had some amazing conversations. I cannot wait for the next event it’s going to be even bigger and better.

I only picked up two books. Anna and the French Kiss and Every Breath (which is Signed!!!!). If you have read my discussion about book stores you would know that I rarely buy books from stores because they are quite expensive but Dymocks did have a 20% off sale so I didn’t mind.

Thank you to everyone that came. It was really amazing seeing and meeting you all. Cannot wait for our next meet up.

    Aaaaah Starbucks…it is so delicious, I had some just yesterday. Blogger meet ups are the best! It’s nice to see there are loads in Melbourne. That book store looks huge!!! I wish I had one that big near me. I have to travel all the way to the city to get a decent size.

Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Vict Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Victoria Wilder’s Bourbon Boys series, and as soon as I heard she was writing a new series, around whiskey and women. Well, hell year. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a few chapters, I was hooked. 

Wyn is hiding, hiding from everyone, even when she is there. She is hiding behind so much, and damn, I don’t blame her. We don’t know everything from the start, but we start piecing things together, and my heart broke. And I was terrified for her. But she is a Crowne woman, and that means something. 

We’ve met Julian before, and while he intrigued me before, I am invested now. He is charming, secretive in the best way and will do anything at this point for Wyn. But he is also lost, and somehow he finds his way to Rumour and back into Wyn’s life. 

The romance is hot and steamy and everything that you want. The tension and chemistry in this one is high. Neither Wyn nor Julian wants to really give in or give up on one another, but a lot is standing in their way, honestly, mainly themselves. I just sat there giggling half the time because they are swoon-worthy. 

I would say this is the darkest Victoria Wilder book I’ve read, so double-check those trigger warnings before jumping in because there is a lot that happens. And I don’t think it’s going to die down any time soon because these Crowne women are badass, and I know things are only just getting started. 

Overall, Rumors & Whiskey is hot and sexual. The tension is dripping off the page, and then you are thrown into the terror and horrors of Rumour. You don’t know what is going to happen next, you don’t know who to trust, and there are so many more secrets that have yet to be revealed. I know I am ready for more. Are you?

Thank you to @atriabooksaus for an earc of Rumors & Whiskey 🥃. I’m in love.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? Let’s chat!
