Going to try and do some work on my #wip which, in case you haven't seen my stories recently, I have dubbed Project: Korero 😊 • • • I am so excited to be doing some writing, it has always been a passion of mine but it has ended up shelved for the better part of a decade... Until now!! 🙌 • • • So, for those who missed my story, Korero is a word in Maori that as a noun means speech, news, discussion, statement, narrative or story. Since I have this story set in New Zealand and the main character is of Maori descent, it seems fitting. I do hope to keep on top of this venture, as I have had the character living with me (in my head 😂) for more than a decade and they are wanting out!! • • • If you want to follow along on this journey, go give the hashtag 👉 #projectkorero 👈 a follow. It is my new hashtag that I will be using in anything I put up on here about my writing. • • • Thank you to all who have given me the motivation to get this off the ground, I hope to do you all and myself proud and do the world I create justice. • • • #daysoflostreading89 #books #bookish #writingprompts #writing #authorsofinstagram #author #nzauthor #newbie #korero #newstory #newzealand #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookstagrammer

OMG you guys!!! The @sweetlittlecreaturebookbox for Kingdom of Ash is A. Maas. Ing!!! 😁😁😁😍😍😍 😉😉😉 I couldn't believe it when it arrived the other day, I had to open it right away, hence the quick story the other day 😂😂 Everything is just super perfect, cute and just... words can't describe how my heart went with this. Side note: I must read the ToG series now 😂😂🤭🤭 Items are by @faerietalescandles , @alrooney_art , @booklybliss and @sweetlittlecreaturebookbox who are all tagged in the photo. My favourite is a tie between the candle and the tiara. Hands down 🙌 It has just given me a photo shot idea 🤔💡😀 #daysoflostreading89 #bookish #unboxing #sweetlittlecreaturebookbox #koa #kingdomofash #sarahjmaas #paperback #bookishcandles #bookishjewellery #bookstagram #happydays #bibliophile #bookstagrammer

Quick post for today, as I chill out prior to sorting dinner for tonight. I am currently over half way through ACoWaR and I am floored. My heart is racing with the story with the action, drama and laughs - ahhh Cassian... 😂😂😂 #daysoflostreading89 #books #currentlyreading #currentread #acowar #acourtofwingsandruin #sarahjmaas #ebook #ereader #bookstagram #feyrearcheron #rhysand #bookstagrammer #bibliophile

Hi PJ!! Gotta make it official and all 😂😂 My name is Darlene and I live in Gisborne, New Zealand, just up the coast 😉😂 Why would I love to be a rep for @sweetlittlecreaturebookbox ? Well, first off - you are multi talented. A writer AND the creator of this amazing subscription box, as well as an influential speaker to our young ones, how do you have time for anything else? Secondly, it is based in New Zealand, and there isn't many bookish subscription boxes based here for us Kiwi readers to indulge 😭 I find it super amazing and wish I could be just a small part of it by showing off the awesome boxes you are creating. I may not take the greatest shots, but I try 🤷‍♀️💁‍♀️ Anywho, good luck to all who apply. Have a spooky Halloween and lovely rest of the week. Happy Hump day!! 😂😂😂 #sweetlittlecreaturerepsearch #repsearch #subscriptionbox #sweetlittlecreaturebookbox #humpdaypost #happyhalloween #🎃👻

Happy Halloween everyone. Just a quick post today. QotD: What are you dressing up for Halloween, if it is your thing? AotD: If I wasn't at work today, I'd be wanting to dress up as a witch. Been getting into the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix and am loving it!! As a side note, @sweetlittlecreaturebookbox is hosting a rep search for the period from December to February and I am so excited to be putting my name up for it in my next post. ✌🤞 Here is a shot of the book from the Carnivals and Freakshows box. Where Puppets Hide is the work from @p_j_shepherd_books the mastermind 🙌👸 #daysoflostreading89 #books #bookish #thisishalloween #halloween #wherepuppetshide #qotd #halloweencostume #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookstagrammer #repsearch

Happy Labour Day Kiwi readers!!! Sadly, I was back at work today 😞 but that also means time and a half, which means more 💰 for my next #sweetlittlecreaturebookbox beauty of a box 😍😍 🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️ These are the dancer earrings up close from the first @sweetlittlecreaturebookbox and I haven't taken them out of my ears - apart from taking this shot, of course 😂 I honestly think they are magical, as they have been able to give me some inspiration in some of my writing projects 😉 I am so looking forward for the next two boxes coming my way, I cannot wait to see what is in them. If you want your own box, go and get an Underwater Creatures box from @sweetlittlecreaturebookbox better get a move on, they will be gone in less than a week!! 😱😱 #daysoflostreading89 #bookish #earrings #wherepuppetshide #carnivals #freakshows #dancers #bookishjewellery #carnivalsandfreakshows #subscriptionbox #nzsubscriptionbox #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookstagrammer

Happy Labour Weekend Kiwi readers!! 🌻 Hope you all have an amazing long weekend. I know I will, no work means staying home, reading and more likely gardening 😁 🌾🌱🌻🌼 🦋🐝🐞 It is so lovely here today, as soon as this is up, I will be out planting some flowers and fruit trees and hopefully finishing clearing the rest of the overgrowth of weeds for new vegetable gardens to go in 🤞 Anywho, here is a shot of my current read; The Wrath and the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh with some recently acquired cushions and one recently refound one. Only about a third through the book, but am enjoying it so far. #daysoflostreading89 #books #labourweekend #thewrathandthedawn #reneeahdieh #redcover #longweekend #nowork #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookstagrammer

Been meaning to post this shot for a few days, but never had the right layout. So here is the full unboxing of my first #sweetlittlecreaturebookbox that arrived this week. I do love this box and cannot wait to see it grow bigger and better 🤡🎉 Items in the box were:- 🎪 A special edition and signed copy of Where Puppets Hide by @p_j_shepherd_books who is the magician behind @sweetlittlecreaturebookbox 🎪 A bookmark designed by @booklybliss that has a quote from WPH. Gorgeous and the artwork is just 👌 🎪 Two bags of Sweet As buttered popcorn. I've already gone through one bag, it's been some time since I've had popcorn like this. 🎪 Next item was a set of gorgeous dancer stud earrings, that matches the cover of the book. So cute!! 🎪 What jumped out at me next was a big red Ring Master bow tie. Rather cute and could use it for a outfit. 🎪Next was a necklace, with a quote on it from The Night Circus by Erica Morgenstern. 😍 Gorgeous and now I want to read this book. 🎪 Next was a classic chocolate bar, made in New Zealand. A Whittaker's Peanut Slab 🤤 chocolate covered peanuts are so good, always!! 🎪 Next was an exclusive candle made by @faerietalescandles which smells like a carnival with fairy floss, popcorn and cookies. I could smell it through the box and packaging, so yummy!! #daysoflostreading89 #books #bookish #bookishcandles #exclusivecandle #specialedition #subscriptionbox #sweetlittlecreaturebookbox #wherepuppetshide #carnivals #thenightcircus #bookstagram #unboxing #nzauthor #sweetlittlecreaturebox #bibliophile #bookstagrammer

Hellooo readers!! 👋 Good day to you so far. I was going to post twice yesterday, but got no real motivation after trying to get the right look for the post. So here is a shot of the #charmwithme charms that arrived yesterday. For October, the theme was either Kingdom Hearts, or Brave. Three guesses what I went with 😂😂 Swipe to see close ups of the double sided charms. I just love Merida, she has to be my favorite princess from Disney/Pixar, alongside Ariel, Belle and Tiana. Question: Who are your favorite Disney princesses? How often do you rewatch the movies?? #daysoflostreading89 #nonbookish #charmwithmeclub #brave #disneyprincesses #disneypixar #merida #popfunko #dvd #disneydvd #disneyfan #disneynerd #disnerd #bookstagrammer #fanishjewellery #fannishcharms #redhead #favouriteprincess #bookstagram #bibliophile
