Back home from my amazing holiday & making myself sad by looking at my insta feed of all the great places I visited. So to make myself feel better naturally I bought a book #amreading #loveozya #yafiction #australianwomenwriters #textpublishing #zacandmia https://www.instagram.com/p/BqyYn70Fc-D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qn9pdtdr61gq

"Beautiful Mess is funny and sad and a bit screwed up and romantic and absolutely real. In other words, a lot like life." - Text Publishing about Beautiful Mess. 🦊 I did not expect to fall so fast for Beautiful Mess, but it's wonderful. Funny and sad and definitely a bit messed up, with characters you can't help but be rooting for, and who you suspect are going to work themselves out eventually. A great #loveozya read. 🦊 #yabooks #ya #textpublishing #aussiereaders

💜💜💜 #Repost @kyramayaphillips ・・・ I think I discovered a new love: reading YA fiction in my 30s. I tore through this heartfelt, funny and often tremendously profound soon-to-be-released novel by @stephbowe at lightening speed. A clarion call for loveable misfits everywhere. Also my three year old is obsessed with the cover. Not the content (YET!). #yafiction #textpublishing #books #read #reading

#Repost @booksbootsandguacamole ・・・ And the book is..... NIGHT SWIMMING by Steph Bowe 😁😁 I heard about this one when I went to the 2017 YA Showcase and I am super excited to read it! I will place the blurb below definitely go check it out 👌🏼👌🏼 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Imagine being the only two seventeen-year-olds in a small town. That’s life for Kirby Arrow—named after the most dissenting judge in Australia’s history—and her best friend Clancy Lee, would-be musical star. Clancy wants nothing more than to leave town and head for the big smoke, but Kirby is worried: her family has a history of leaving. She hasn’t heard from her father since he left when she was a baby. Shouldn’t she stay to help her mother with the goat’s-milk soap-making business, look after her grandfather who suffers from dementia, be an apprentice carpenter to old Mr Pool? And how could she leave her pet goat, Stanley, her dog Maude, and her cat Marianne? But two things happen that change everything for Kirby. She finds an article in the newspaper about her father, and Iris arrives in town. Iris is beautiful, wears crazy clothes, plays the mandolin, and seems perfect, really, thinks Kirby. Clancy has his heart set on winning over Iris. Trouble is Kirby is also falling in love with Iris… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ • #nightswimming #stephbowe #LoveOzYa #textpublishing #diversebooks #bookstagram #booklover #ilovereading #igbooks #aussiebibliophile #bibliophile #bookworm #bookishfeatures #booknerd #bookish #libraryofbookstagram #readersofinstagram #instabook #bookflatlay #bookclubcollective #instaread #igreads #totalbooknerd #bookhaul #books #booklove #bookaddict #bookstagramfeature
