Q: How do decorate your shelves? Right now my shelves are mostly just books, but I do want to start spreading some merch around them (where the books aren't double-stacked, at least 🙈) I do have some of my @sparkandsparrowperth candles sitting there (with closed jars, not open like in this photo. We must maintain the scent for as long as possible/ until we burn them). I'd love to put some more of my bookmarks and things around there but have yet to figure out how it may work 😅 //CHALLENGES// #BombBooks2022 - Put a Pin In It (#FavoriteMerch) #ladiesoffictionjan22 - Books & Candles #LMSJanuary2022 - Beautiful //HASHTAGS// #bookmerch #shelfie #bookshelf #auskiwibooksta #booksandcandles #bookstack #tbrpile #toberead #prettybooks #bibliophile #bookstacks #ausyabloggers #ausbookishfeatures https://www.instagram.com/booktineus/p/CY3isEwrGAh/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Sunday bookworms! It has been a wonderful and relaxing weekend which is exactly what I needed. There has been many Scrabble and Bananagrams games and we have just devoured the pasta we made from SCRATCH today! Our first time doing so and I think we exceeded all expectations! A day of joy! . As I walked past my bookcase before, I caught sight of the small frame on one of the shelves. The print says ‘Remember Why you started’. With 10 days to go until the business pre-launch, my poor brain is in overdrive as there is still so much to do, for the launch and beyond. This pile of INCREDIBLE #loveozya is a reminder of why I’m doing this and where I’m headed. The excitement and fear co-exist but damn, what a journey it is going to be! I hope you’ll join me on this crazy ride! I really can’t wait to finally share with you what I’ve been working on #comingsoon 🥰 . #happymothersday #sundayfunday #ausbookishfeatures #ausqueerya #ausyabloggers #yabooks #yalit #yalover #bookobsession #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #alwaysreading #becauseofbooks #diversereads #fullybooked #igreads #bookworm #alwaysreading #rainbowbooks #bookishrainbow #bookshelfie #bookstack #rainbowstack (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAAX0zdg96t/?igshid=int07pbowwf0

Q: What is your favourite fairy tale to read retellings of? I love seeing new takes on all the fairy tales, but the ones that automatically get added to my TBR pile are retellings of Beauty and the Beast and the Six Swans. And if you hadn't heard, Heart's Blood is my ALL TIME favourite Beauty and the Beast retelling. Juliet Marillier also wrote one of my favourite Six Swans retellings, Daughter of the Forest //HASHTAGS// #aussieauthor #julietmarillier #heartsblood #beautyandthebeast #retelling #newadult #houseofearthandblood #crescentcity #goodbooks #prettybooks #ausyabloggers #flatlayfriday #booksta #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookphotos #bookrec https://www.instagram.com/p/CQQjqR4LgjY/?utm_medium=tumblr

Q: If you had the opportunity, would you particpate in a magical carnival like Caraval or would you be a spectator? As long as I wasn't in any danger, I'd LOVE to participate! It would be fun trying to unravel all the clues to win the game. I made this bookmark! It's part of my @booktineusdesigns Caraval collection! You can buy your own from my Etsy store on Saturday the 26th of June at 12pm AEST!! //CHALLENGES// #bonnypages - Enemies To Lovers #RFABJune21 - Colour Combo (black and gold) //HASHTAGS// #prettybooks #booktineus #booktineusbookmarks #booktineusdesigns #caraval #caravaltrilogy #caravalseries #legendary #finale #bookstack #booksandflowers #bookquotes #bookquote #booknerdigans #ausbookishfeatures #bibliophilelife #bibliophilebuzz #ausyabloggers #aussiebookstagrammer #favebooks #yafantasy #yafsntasyreads #booksandflowers #fakeflowers #mismatchedbooks #bookworm #reader #bookaccessories #bookaddiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CQYCYQoras6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Q: Do you still book blog? Have you ever had a book blog? I'm asking again because I need to follow more. I miss reading blogs and so many of my old favourites don't post much anymore (if at all) because the audience is so diminished now. Almost all of the old audience has migrated to other social media platforms. Blogging was always my favourite book community platform honestly. I started in 2010 on a small blog of my own that no longer exists. Then in 2013 I started to contributing to a blog called Readers in Wonderland (which also no longer exists because my coblogger and I got busy and missed the domain renewal due date in 2018 😭) and became more active on Tumblr (an account that still exists but I always forget to update 😅). Last year I finally got back into it, by contributing to @happyindulgence book blog, and it's been so wonderful to be back. I love being back and writing different types of posts again, but sometimes it feels like shouting into a void compared to the community it used to be. //CHALLENGES// #booksarepugaliciousjuly21 - Susannah (The Summer I Turned Pretty): comfort reads #disneyladiesjuly21 - Wendy: character you'd name a pet or child after #MyFandomObsessionsJuly21 - ...and that makes us mighty.
