My #LoveOzYA novel NEVERLAND is out now!

NEVERLAND cover

Show some Insta love: @project_lectito

This week @loveozya is asking readers to share their Aussie YA hidden gems, and A BRIEF HISTORY OF MONTMARAY by Michelle Cooper is one of my all-time favourites. Released back in 2008, it was one of the books that helped me rediscover YA as an adult and I love it for its intriguing premise, strong narrative voice and island setting (swipe for the blurb). It’s an Aussie book, but this is the US edition, which I picked up at Strand Books in NYC while backpacking up the East Coast. So many happy memories both of this book and the time when I read it. 🥰
Tiny executive. 🖋👶🏼 With Alex starting a new job this week, Frankie is very interested in all things Work. First order of business in building her corporate empire: taking over Mum’s office.
Enjoying our first full girls’ day in quite a while! 💕👩‍👧It’s been lovely having @pahendo home these past few weeks, even if the job hunt made the first bit a *tad* stressful. Very proud of him starting a fab new job today and, while we’ll miss having him around during the day, Frank and I are looking forward to getting back into a regular routine. Starting with ice cream. Shoutout to the @ciboglenelg server who kindly replaced Frankie’s ice cream when she inevitably upended this one two seconds after we took this pic. 🤦‍♀️ #businessasusual
Picked up a copy of @vikkiwakefield’s THIS IS HOW WE CHANGE THE ENDING at @dymocksglenelg today to savour over the long weekend! It’s also going to be my second #LoveOzYABookBingo read after I devoured @allaynewebster’s SENSITIVE in two sittings. (Not bad for a slow poke reader like me 😉) Watch this space for a full gushy post on that one, but, in brief, I love, love, LOVED IT! 💛🌻 #LoveOzYA
My first #LoveOzYABookBingo read for the #ownvoices square is SENSITIVE by @allaynewebster. I loved Allayne’s book THE CENTRE OF MY EVERYTHING and I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about SENSITIVE. Very excited to dive in and kick off a big month of #LoveOzYA reading! (Swipe for full bingo sheet and play along!)
Cheers to the end of funemployment! After a stressful few weeks Alex just landed a dream job! 👏🍻☀️🤩
Current reading pile. I’ve just started How to Make Friends With the Dark, which I’ve been hanging out for ever since reading Girl in Pieces. After that I’m looking forward to some exciting lit fic and more of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series. Plus I’ll be reading a stack of Aussie YA for LoveOzYA Book Bingo next month. October’s going to be a HUGE month of reading! 😅🤩
Fresh hair, sunshine and a napping bebe. 💇🏼‍♀️☀️😴🤫🙌💃💃💃
Flashback to the weekend when we escaped to the beach and this gorgeous view. It was also the first time I’ve woken up before kiddo and had a few quiet minutes to read before putting my parenting hat on for the day. 🙌
