| #christmasread | • Hello all! I thought I would start posting books I recommend to read during Christmas time. I have read and loved so many in the past couple of years so can’t wait to share them with you! • Last Christmas in Paris is just soooo delightful and ahhhh the more I think about it the more I smile. It is historical romance set in WWI period. Then either book is written in letters. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. DEFINITELY recommended! • Hope you all have a good day! • #lastchristmasinparis #christmasread #christmasbooks

It took me so long to decide the gifts I wanted to get but now I am ready to order them all and lick the “one click” button!😂 • I hope you all have a great day! • #bookposts #bookstacks #booksandchristmastrees #christmastrees
| Happy #sundayshelfie | • Good morning all! The double-shelving life is real. I am running out of space on my bookshelf 😭 I have been trying to find gaps in the shelf to put books in the past few weeks😂 There are so many tags I need to do or have been tagged to do but whenever I look at my shelf, the thoughts of finding the books and taking them out of the shelf gives me anxiety, because I may not be able to fit them back to the shelf again 😂 • Anyways! I hope you all have a great day! • #shelfie #mybookshelf #blackbookshelf #blackbookcase #ikeabookshelf #billybookcase #myhappyplace #toomanybooks
| @youngwriteryear 2019 winner! Raymond Antrobus The Perseverance | • I have been so busy the past few weeks so I haven’t been able to start reading all the books shortlisted for this year’s Young Writer Award. But now I am going to start reading them one by one in the next few weeks! First one up is the winner of this year’s award The Perseverance. I am so excited! • Thank you so much @fmcmassociates @youngwriteryear for gifting me the books. I cannot wait to finally get into them! • #youngwriteraward #poetry
| Sissireads Review The Boy With Blue Trousers by Carol Jones | • What a captivating and enthralling historical fiction this is! I read The Boy with Blue Trousers a while back and I really enjoyed it. • Carol Jones is a new author to me but I am so in awe with her ability to create such unique but also addictive read. The Boy with Blue Trousers follows the storylines of two women; both are running away from their own home and culture and trying to make a new and better life for themselves in Australia. Little Cat, a girl born in China and Violet, a governess from England who have never met before will have their path crossed on their journey to Australia. • I am quite certain that I haven't read anything like it before. It is full of actions, danger but also full of inspiration. It is about the disadvantages women face in the 19th centry but what the story has given us is hope and courage. It is about how we can control our fate and destiny. I particularly enjoyed the chapters about Little Cat. Maybe being a Chinese myself I resonate a lot with her. She is so strong minded and determined. I love her character so much. • Carol's writing is engaging and I love how the scenes are set to enhance the reading experience. It felt so raw and real. I love it! The Boy With Blue Trousers is out now. I definitely recommend it! • Thank you so much for @headofzeus for this beautiful copy to review. • #sissireadsreview #theboywithbluetrousers #bookreview #bookblogging
| #upcomingnewbooks | • Good morning all! I have received some amazing books in the post in the last few days😍I am so excited for all of them!! I have posted all the details on my IG stories so go check them out! • Have you seen any you would love to read or have read the earlier copy already?🤩 • By the way, I realise that not posting everyday has been really good to me over the past week! The self imposed pressure to post everyday has taken the joy of bookstagram away for me the past few weeks. So I stepped back and now only post when I have something to say or post, and I LOVE IT. I FEEL SO GOOD ABOUT IT!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 • Anyways! I have finished A Woman Is No Man last night and oh my, what a book. My heart is heavy - full review to come on 17 December. • Hope you all have a good day! • #bookstacks #booksandchristmastrees #christmastree
