Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s topic is Ten Books I Feel Differently About After Time Has Passed.

I found this weeks topic quite hard, it’s not often that I change my mind about how I think of a book. I normally always think the same, I don’t know why but it just happens. 

love now - differently

Harry Potter by J.K Rowling 

I know I talk about this series a lot and I am sorry, but I love it too much and I find that every time that I re-read it I love it even more. I am currently reading Philosopher Stone with my little sister and we are loving it. 

The Winners Trilogy by Marie Rutkoski

I loved the first two books The Winner’s Curse and The Winner’s Crime, and then I read the last book – this series has become one of my favourite – if not favourite fantasy series.

dislike now - differently

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Okay I used to love these books – like a lot. But after re-reading it a couple of years ago I needed a slap on the head. 

Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas 

So I didn’t love the first one, but I liked it enough to buy all the books when Sarah came to Australia last year, however after reading reviews and all – I am not 100% I am going to continue with the series. 

So that is it for this week, I cannot think of any more at all. What are some of the books that you feel differently about in time? Let’s Chat. 

Six Favourite Childhood Books

Six Favourite Childhood Books

Childhood TTT

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is all about Childhood so I picked my Top Six Childhood Books. 

I have always read or have read to me. It has always been part of my life. However, it was really hard to think of books from my Childhood, so here a few that I have reread countless times, love and adored. 

Childhood 1

Harry Potter by J.K Rowling: The first edition of Harry Potter that I have is from 2001, I was only 5 years old. That is how long Harry Potter has been in my life. When I think of books that I read or had read to me when I was a child, the first thing that comes to my mind is Harry Potter without a doubt. My mum read them to me, until I could and I have been re-reading them ever since.

I don’t know what my childhood would be without Harry Potter – pretty boring I think.

The Sleepover Club by Rose Impey: This was probably one of my favourite TV shows when I was younger and if you are not from Australia, but you love watching Reign and The 100, you might know a few of the girls. I have no idea how many of these books I read, but it was quite a few.

If I Ran a Circus by Dr. Seuss: This is my favourite Dr. Seuss books. I have no idea how many times I reread this book, but I used to know it by heart.

Childhood 2

The BFG by Roald Dahl: I love Roald Dahl, I have read quite a lot of his books, but this has to be my favourite and reminds me so much of my childhood.

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett: I am cheating a little with this one, because I didn’t read the book until I was older, however I adored the movie. I think maybe because Maggie Smith was in it, but I loved it.

The Two of a Kind Series by Mary-Kate and Ashley: I loved the girly books, they were fun to read especially the friendship aspect. Again there is quite a couple of these and I have no idea how many I have read. 

Well that is all I can remember from my Childhood. What are some of your favourites? What did you love? Let’s Chat.

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!
