Although it should be called Book Shelf Babble today: This is so cute. I’d want a slightly wider version so my son, Riley and I could still fit on it together as he gets older. I’d have the fabric in a patterned blue or green…

Today my 77 comes from my #currentread Saga by Nikki McWatters via @uqpbooks The 77: “Be careful,” I warned. “It’s getting a bit shabby around the edges where it’s bound there, see? I don’t want to damage it. It might be worth a fortune.” “True,” she said and took the book gently, turning the pages with great reverence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #77saturday is a blog feature / meme the #AusYABloggers do every Saturday. The Rules: 1) Pick up a Book (your current read, or the closest book to you, or your next read, etc.) 2) Turn to page 77 (or 77% if you are using an e-reader) 3) Find a Snippet, Sentence or Paragraph you like. 4) Share it on your blog or Twitter or Instagram and link back to the @AusYABloggers and use the hashtag #77Saturday —————————————————————————————————— #bookstagram #aussiebookbloggers #booklover #booknerd #bookstagrammer #igreads #igreadsaus
#ShoutOut to author @stephbowe 📚❤️🙌 I read Steph’s Night Swimming back in May 2017. It is an adorable #LoveOzYA feel good romp about growing up, first love, true friendship, finding your inner strength and place in the world and finding the courage to move forward. ————————————————————————“In real life, there’s no such thing as happily ever after, there’s just life passing day by day. After you ride off into the sunset, then you’re just in the middle of nowhere on a horse at night, aren’t you?” ———————————————————————— I laughed out loud the first time I read the above two sentences. I’d never really thought about it. What does happen after they ride off into the sunset? You should definitely get your hands on a copy!! #StephBowe @textpubYA @text_publishing #goodbook #mustread #booklove #booklover #igreads #greatread #bookblogger #bookstagram #bookstgrammer
Today my 77 comes from yesterday’s bookmail - Fierce Fairytales: Poems and Stories to Stir Your Soul by Nikita Gill. The 77: “Women who live alone in the woods develop a reputation. Their independence weaves sorcery, as though a woman wanting to be or live alone can only wish to do so because she has harnessed otherworldly powers. A woman without a man must be haunted, or the thing that haunts.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #77saturday is a blog feature / meme the #AusYABloggers do every Saturday.

Today my 77 comes from a long time loved book of mine - The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adam. The 77: For a moment it seemed that nothing was happening, then a brightness glowed at the edge of the huge screen. A red star the size of a small plate crept across it followed quickly by another one -a binary system. Then a vast crescent sliced into the corner of the picture- a red glare shading away into deep black, the night side of the planet. “I’ve found it!” cried Zaphod, thumping the console. “I’ve found it!” Ford stared at it in astonishment. “What is it?” He said. “That…” said Zaphod, “is the most improbable planet that ever existed.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #77saturday is a blog feature / meme the #AusYABloggers do every Saturday.

LAST DAY!! Day 26 of the #ABCbookChallenge - Z: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig. The cover claims that “This book will change the way you think and feel about your life”. I have yet to actually read this book (and I probably never will), the dilapidated paperback belongs to my mother, I borrowed it for the pic. My Mum purchased this 1976 USA edition second hand years ago and it was already in poor shape. I was fascinated with this book as a kid. The fact its pages were yellow and falling out, made me feel it was some ancient treasure that I would someday read when I was an adult (maybe I will still read it one day for the hell of it). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ABC Challenge goes from the 1st -26th November. The aim each day is to post a book that starts with the day's letter. Nov 1st = A, Nov 2nd = B, and so on. Hosted by @read3rz_revu myself and @tiensblurb Each host will be holding a giveaway at the end of the challenge for challenge participants. To be eligible you must be following each of the three hosts and have partook in at least 5 days of the challenge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #igreads #ausyabloggers #bookblogger #booknerd #booklover #booklove #26daybookchallenge #bookstagramchallenge #AussieBookBloggers #bibliofile
