Beware of the book dragon!

TWs: Body shaming (self and external), bullying A witty, pragmatic, but charming story! The characters are fun, and I adored them all. I also appreciated all the representation in this book! It had all the teenagerly awkwardness, and it was written so well! Overall, a cute little contemporary- worthy of its award! Rating: 4.5/5

A truly unique and intriquing story, set in Sydney, Australia! The statue gods idea? Amazing. I also thought that the characters were vibrant and well-rounded, as well as being diverse with both indigenous and queer+ rep, which is a huge plus! The book was fast-paced, and the twists kept on coming. I couldn't put this one down for even a second! Rating: 4.5/5 Thanks to Hachette Children's Australia and NetGalley for a copy of this book!

Full of non-stop action and highly entertaining! I chose to listen to the audio for this book this time to give audiobooks a better crack, and this did not disappoint! I loved the new perspective on Mia's life, and the romance was inda actually enjoyable, which I didn't expect at the time! I loved how it was more bloodier than Nevernight. Bring on Darkdawn! (When I get my mitts on it!) Rating: 4/5

A frightening and scarily realistic look at the human condition, packaged into this small classic. It showcases the immense weight of vanity and youth has on people. An overall timeless classic that is still rather timely, given how a lot of people care about their appearance. I also loved the viewpoints Wilde showcases through the characters. Rating: 4/5

I found this one a little hard to get into at first, however, once I got past the first couple of chapters it was truly a brilliant piece of work! This book was epic, and has left me reeling! I found this one to be a fantastic story, that had amazing world building AND a “magic system” that I thoroughly approve of! I wish I had a Mister Kindly all of my own!!! Rating: 4/5

A great novel that touches on racism and family in the 1930s in America. I enjoyed how Atticus Finch was shown as an honourable character, where his lessons impart not only on the characters, but the readers themselves. It challenges the way people view race, and how it impacted on life in America at the time, which was well put. Rating: 4/5

As I started reading this book, I noticed that there was a rich atmosphere present, and this was rather interesting! The plot was gripping right to the end. I was also a fan of the worldbuilding and characters, and I found myself rooting for the protagonists way more than I thought I would've! The villain was also such an enthralling character on their own, and I often wanted to scream/punch them, whilst reading. This book is great for those who enjoyed The Selection (Kiera Cass). Rating: 5/5 Thanks to Harlequin/HQ Young Adult and NetGalley for the eARC!

A wonderful, well-written book that covers the themes of environmentalism, family, cults, and love. The characters had flaws that were gritty and true to real life, and made me feel strong connections towards all the characters! The plot kept me going as well, and it was really well thought out and written. I also really enjoyed the strong use of Australian language, as well as how the story was set in rural Victoria.
