My #LoveOzYA novel NEVERLAND is out now!

NEVERLAND cover

Show some Insta love: @project_lectito

I’m a guest on this week’s ep of @deviantwomenpodcast (!!!) talking about Neverland, ‘unlikable’ female protagonists in #LoveOzYA and reimagining masculine myths of adventure. (Just quietly, this is one of my *favourite* podcasts and I’m doing a lil’ happy dance over here to see my protag Kit join the ranks of Deviant Women 💪) If you’re not already subscribed, do yourself the favour. Each week, hosts Lauren and Alicia feature a different devious woman from history, mythology, fiction or contemporaneity. And. It. Is. Awesome. 🙌 . . . . . #aussiereaders #podcasts #deviantwomen #bookstagram #feminism #bookcommunity #readmore #readmoreYA #authoring #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #yaauthor #readersofinstagram #igbooks #igreads #shelfie #youngadultbooks #youngadult #writinglife #talkingbooks
Received some *very* exciting #LoveOzYA book mail today! Cannot wait to read @sharonkernot’s Text Prize Shortlisted verse novel, The Art of Taxidermy. And just look at that cover! 🙌 Congratulations, Sharon, and thank you, @text_publishing 😘 . . . . . . . #aussiereaders #theartoftaxidermy #sharonkernot #bookstagram #bookcommunity #readersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #tbr #bookcover #shelfie #booklove #bookmail #readmore #readmoreYA #igbooks #igreads #vscobooks #bookphotography #bookphoto #bibliophile #booknerdigans #bookworm
Beautiful cuttings from my bestie’s garden!
Thank you so much for reading Neverland and inviting me to Skype in on book club, @threefourknockonthedoor! I had a wonderful time, your questions were 👌and I’m totally telling everyone that the cover illustrations are Kit’s drawings (thanks for that! 😉) 💙🧜‍♀️ #aussiereaders #Repost @threefourknockonthedoor with @get_repost ・・・ Had a wonderful #bookclub today with my YA group #outsidersbookclub discussing #neverland and even had the author @project_lectito Skype in. Average rating was 4 1/2 ⭐️. Highly highly recommend this book. Tackles themes of mental illness beautifully. 🧜🏻‍♀️ 🚣‍♀️ 🐊 @penguinteenaus @penguinbooksaus #loveozya @dbinks #authorvisit @thom_clark01 @liv.vlahakis @siena.may.c @rhyskynan
Sneaking a few pages of #Circe while Frankie and G play on the beach. . . . . . #aussiereaders #longweekend #amreading #beachread #bookstagram #greekmythology #bookcommunity #sundayfunday #currentread #currentlyreading #readmore #readersofinstagram #igbooks #igreads #booklove #junereads #bookrecommendations #bibliophile #booknerdigans #bookblogger #vscobooks #bookporn #bookphotography #bookphoto #bookwormlife
Good friends share #Iliad retellings. That’s a thing, right? I put @lisalhannett onto #TheSongofAchilles (if you haven’t read it yet, you are *missing out*) and she’s lent me #Ransom by David Malouf—told from King Priam’s PoV. Can’t wait to read it. Thanks, Lisa! 🤓 . . . . . #aussiereaders #Homer #bookstagram #bookishflatlay #classics #booklove #nerding #booknerdigans #bibliophile #booklove #readmore #readersofinstagram #bookporn #bookphotography #bookphoto #vscobooks #bookworm #bookcover #readmoreclassics #bookcommunity #bookrecommendations #bookblogger #igbooks #igreads #bookish #books #bookstagramfeatures #shelfie
I read The Motherhood a few weeks back when Frankie was going through a particularly rough teething patch. It brought up a lot of unexpected feelings—the good and the challenging—about life with a newborn, and I cried many, many cathartic tears. Reading it felt as though I were having a very frank chat with a bunch of incredible women about life with a newborn. Highly recommend for all my fellow newbie mamas out there. Huge thank you to all the women who contributed. 💗 . . . . . #aussiereaders #themotherhood #mumsofinstagram #bookstagram #bookcommunity #booklove #readersofinstagram #newbornlife #igbooks #igreads #bookbloggers #readmore #mumlife #anthology #bookreview #parenting #parentingbooks #bibliophile #bookworm
Shameless bit of self-promo here: I’m available for school visits and author talks! 🎤 Now that the chaos of early motherhood / launching Neverland has settled a little, I’m keen to get out in the community to chat about Neverland, #LoveOzYA, pathways to publication, ‘unlikable’ female protagonists and more. I’m based in Adelaide, but willing to travel for select events. For more info. and booking queries head to margotmcgovern.com
It’s thriller season!! 😱😱😱 Is there anything better than curling up with a chilling read on a rainy night? Last weekend I binged on The Tall Man by Phoebe Locke—a clever little page-turner inspired by the Slender Man urban legend. I was hoping for something a bit scarier, given the source material, but thoroughly enjoyed it none the less. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ . . . . . #aussiereaders #TheTallMan #currentread #amreading #bookreview #bookstagram #readmore #bookcommunity #booklove #bookcover #readersofinstagram #igbooks #igreads #psychologicalthriller #bibliophile #JuneReads #bookporn #bookphoto #bookphotography #bookbloggersofinstagram #shelfie #bookworm #bookblogger
