Good evening readers 🌖❄ Just wanting to do a quick appreciation post for @authorpjshepherd and her awesome writing tips. 🖋 📖 If it wasn't for the suggestion of using Pinterest to help for getting a world down and the basis of characters, I would not finally have an actual face/look for my first main character in my story. [Spoiler: he's really 🔥🤭] Thank you PJ 😍😍 sending love and hugs to ya girl!! 😘😘 But here are some pins based around his story. I am going to try and get some of it written this coming week, as the partner and I are going away for a week. #daysoflostreading89 #books #bookish #kiwiauthors #writing #projectkorero #maincharacter #pinterest #pjshepherd appreciation #aroha #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookstagrammer #kiwisread

Evening pukapuka whanau 🌙❄ "Booklover: (n) 1. A person devoted to reading ✔ 2. One who would rather stay inside and read than go outside and play ✔ Beware: never disturb a book lover when he/she is reading, result can be fatal." 🔖🔖🔖🔖 My latest bookmark that I got from work, very appropriate for any avid reader that is a part of this community, right? 😂 Just a quick post since I haven't done one in a while. Q: Random one, Favourite song at the moment? A: Rocketman sung by Taron Egerton 😍😍😍 dude can sing!! I so want to see him play Elton John soon, hopefully this week 🤞🏻 #daysoflostreading89 #books #bookish #bookmarks #booklover #currentread #hive #ajbetts #lovemyjob #kiwisread #kiwireader #favouritesong #soundtrack #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookstagrammer

Morena readers and a not so welcome to June and the cold weather 🥶🥶🥶 😩😩😩 I know it's a few days late, but here is one read I am going to get through this month. Hive by A. J. Betts. 🐝🐝🐝 🐝🐝🐝 🐝🐝🐝 "Hayley tends to her bees and follows the rules in the only world she has ever known. Until she witnesses the impossible: a drip from the ceiling. "A drip? It doesn't make sense. Yet she hears it, catches it. Tastes it. Curiosity is a hook. "What starts as a drip leads to a lie, a death, a boy, a beast and too many awful questions." 'The first in a gripping duology by award-winning and international bestselling author @ajbettswrites ' I received this as a part of the book tour for the sequel Rouge, which comes out later this month, so I figure get into the world so I can understand it more. #daysoflostreading89 #books #bookish #bookmail #booktour #hive #ajbetts #aussieauthor #dystopianbooks #bees #kiwisread #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookstagrammer #ausyabloggers

"In the beginning, there was Rangi the father and Papa the mother. Many sons were born into the darkness between them, including Tū, Tāne, Tangaroa, Rongo, Tāwhirimatea and Haumia." Good evening readers 🌖 Who remembers these Māori stories of Creation and of Maui's exploits? I always loved reading these books by Peter Gossage and I have this, as well as all the Maui stories. My favourite was how Maui fished up the North Island of New Zealand 🎣 Even better now, I get to retell this story for an assignment for my night class of learning Te Reo. QotD: What is your favourite Māori myth? Or if you don't know any, favourite creation myth? AotD: The Fish of Maui or How Maui found his mother, but I love all mythologies really. #daysoflostreading89 #books #bookish #kiwiauthors #qotd #aotd #petergossage #creationmyth #maorimyth #ranginuiandpapatuanuku #skyfather #earthmother #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookstagrammer #kiwisread

Happy Saturday readers!! 🌤 It's been another cruisey day here in sunny Gisborne, even if the wind has a bit of a bite to it. Did a quick trip into town to grab a few things, so I got into listening to my latest Audible buy of Warrior in the Wild by Tricia Levenseller. ⚔ Already at 20% read and it is just wonderfully told. I was hoping to get the hardback copy, but I couldn't help myself in getting the audiobook instead. #daysoflostreading89 #books #bookish #audiobook #audible #warriorinthewild #tricialevenseller #currentread #currentlyreading #vikings #warrior #femalewarrior #kiwisread #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookstagrammer

Good evening readers 👋🏻 📖 It is finally the weekend and though I am still a bit annoyed with how Game of Thrones ended (ended up totally spoiling myself before watching it today 🤷🏼‍♀️) I am looking forward to Saturday. I am hoping to get some reading in, as well as finally diving back into my writing with #projectkorero 😊🤞🏻 I have been doing some research around the world in the stories, so I am hoping to get more of it all written down and keep it going a bit better than I have the last few months. QotD: Plans for the weekend?? AotD: see above ☝🏻😂 as well as not feeling the cold as it draws in 🥶 Shot of my full set of cloth editions of the works of Jane Austen 😍😍 and I. Love. Them!!! #daysoflostreading89 #books #bookish #clothcover #janeausten #prideandprejudice #senseandsensibility #persuasion #emma #mansfieldpark #northhangerabbey #clotheditions #got #qotd #bookstagrammer #kiwisread #bookstagram #bibliophile

Good day readers!! A day late with this, as I had a rather busy day yesterday and only just got a moment to sort the post out. So here is my post for #atotallybooknookmaysingalong This is Me. 🎶 I am not a stranger to the dark, hide away they say, cos we don't want your broken parts, I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars 🎶 As soon as I saw this as the prompt for May 16th, I found it rather ironic, as May 16th is my birthday!! So here is some quick facts to enlighten you (if you wish) about me. 🎂 My name is Darlene, I am an only child. I am now 30!! 😱😱 🎂 I was born in Auckland, New Zealand, but now live in sunny Gisborne, which is at least 6 to 8 hours drive from where I use to live 😂 🎂 I am an avid nerd when it comes to fandoms. I can recall facts about books, movies or shows at the drop of a hat, however I cannot always remember what I had for dinner last week 😂😂 🎂 I have a degree in Communication Studies, as well as a Post Grad diploma in Journalism. When I moved to Gisborne I was in the process of earning my Masters, which I put on hold and have yet to get back into 😣 🎂 I am currently learning to speak Maori, and it is so fun. I feel like I am reconnecting to a part of my kiwi culture. Here is a sentence I learnt in class. "Ko Puke-ta-papa tōku maunga Ko Manukau tōku moana Ko Ingarihi te tangata Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa." If you have a question for me, just add it to the comments below and I will answer when I can 😊 🎶 When the sharpest words want to cut me down, I'm gunna send a flood, gunna drown them out. I am brave, I am bruised, I am who I'm meant to be, This is Me. Look out cos here I come, and I'm marching on to the beat I drum. I'm not scared to be seen, I make no apology, This is Me! 🎶

Good evening readers 🔥🔥 It has been a few days since I last posted, and I sadly have no motivation to set up shots to play catch up. 😂 So here is today's post for #atotallybooknookmaysingalong Girl on Fire • • 🎶 This girl is on Fire 🎶 an appropriate song to show off my editions of the Hunger Games series (which I still need to read 🙈) QotD: Is there any other girls, or women in books that are 🔥? AotD: Other than Katniss Everdeen, it would definitely be Daenerys Stormborn, of House Targaryen Breaker of Chains, Mother of Dragons, Queen of the Andels and the First Men... etc. 😂😂 #daysoflostreading89 #books #bookish #floatingbooks #thehungergames #catchingfire #mockingjay #suzancollins #qotd #daenerystargaryen #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookstagrammer #kiwisread

Just a quick catch up post, slowly getting caught up again on the #atotallybooknookmaysingalong prompts. Day 5 - Angels • • Rather fitting as I have (finally!) started to read Lady Midnight 😂👏🏻👏🏻 hence why I am also showing off the Shadowhunter Codex here as well. • • 🎶 When I'm feeling weak And my pain walks down a one way street I look above, And I know I'll always be blessed with love. And as the feeling grows, she breathes flesh to my bones and when love is dead, I'm loving angels instead 🎶 😇 😇 I have heard a number of songs with Angel or Angels in the title, so for this, I leaned closer to the Robbie Williams song. 😊 ❤ #daysoflostreading89 #books #bookish #currentread #currentlyreading #kiwisread #cassandraclare #ladymidnight #lordofshadows #queenofairanddarkness #thedarkartifices #themortalinstrumentsbooks #theinfernaldevices #shadowhunters #angels #robbiewilliams #emmacarstairs #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookstagrammer
