Bookish Babble Y15.W15
The answer is 42 Edition:
I had this as the background on my home and work computer for years before I had my son and he took over the prime real estate.
I could never get the hang of Thursdays, or any other day of the working week.
Best opening line ever!
I love this robot fella, in fact the only non-human book characters I love more are Eeyore and Dobby, with Hedwig and Mr Tumnus coming close behind him.
I always keep a towel in the back of my car, very handy; it can be a towel, a blanket, a poncho, a huge tissue 😛 etc.
And BAM!! the Dolphins have the right idea.
Love is Pain.
Until next time, so long and thanks for all the fish.

Quotes I loved out of books I read in 2015
HELL YES, someone bring me a cunning wizard.
While this quote isn’t out of the story, it was at the start of the book Beautiful Creatures, so that counts :-P.
There is a dark place in my mind that loves this line (it’s out of Amanda Hocking’s Crystal Kingdom).
Right on Thorin!!
Yes, WE ALL DO!! Run with me people.
Any quote’s you stumbled upon in books this year? Comment below, I’d love to read them.
Until Next Time 🙂 Enjoy Your Shelves 🙂

Aussie YA Bloggers – Secret Santa Blog Hop
This is my post for the Australian YA Bloggers & Readers Secret Santa Blog H
op.
The idea is to answer some questions so we can find out a little bit more about each other and leave some clues for our Secret Santa recipient.
So lets see if we can guess who got who.
Questions:
- What are your top 5 favourite books this year? Damn only five. In no particular order: Illuminae, Attachments, Night Owls, I am number four & Ice Kissed.
- How did you go with your Goodreads challenge? Kicked it’s ass 😛 I had aimed to read 100 books this year, so far have read 137. This is a BIG deal for me as it’s the most I’ve ever read in a year.
- How many times did you post a week on average? Do you think you’ll post more/less in the future? Average for this year has been two posts a week. I’m planning on a three post a week spread next year, so that will be posting more.
- What is your favourite blogging moment/achievement of 2015? The Adventures of SacaKat turning Two. Receiving some review books from publishers. Prior to this year all the books I reviewed I had purchased, borrowed or been given by the lovely authors Louise White and Leigh Hutton, who took a chance giving a newbie blogger they met on twitter ARC’s.
- Did you read mostly review or non-review books this year? mostly non-review books as I inhaled a lot of graphic novels this year. My plan for next year is to not take on many review books and try to tackle my TBR pile, reading as many of the beautiful books I purchased this year as possible. I’m going to post reviews on my blog for all Aussie author books I read in 2016 and any other books that are standout four/ five stars reads.
- What are your blogging goals for 2016? Reading more Aussie authors. Getting stuck into my TBR. Putting out three posts a week, one review, one bookish babble and one flash fiction piece.
- What books are you looking forward to in 2016? The Illuminae Files #2, The Reluctant Jillaroo, The Shadow Queen, Reign of Shadows and The Great Hunt just to start off with.
- Based on the answers above, have you been a good or naughty blogger this year? Hahahaha well if you ask my husband, naughty, because of all the hours I locked myself away much to his annoyance.
My three Secret Santa recipient clues:
- You live in the state that holds The Cup.
- Your Goodreads profile picture is an adorable pup.
- Bookshelves cover the background of your blogspot blog.

Relatable bookish issues edition:
She speaks the truth!
Oh my yes! and this is why I see a physio every three weeks (among other things).
Who hasn’t been there!!
It’s not JUST A BOOK, it’s a gateway to another world, to another life, to another husband…wait…what…who said that 😛 LOL. My husband does not understand that reading a good book is my salvation.
And this is why my husband hates books!
Shhhhhhhhh…I’m trying to read!

Bookish Gifts Edition:
Christmas gift ideas anyone, there is only 40 days to go! Oh man that’s depressing! Where the flibbity jibbit has this year gone.
I purchased the above bookmark, cause I can, for myself, of off Behind the Pages. Gina has a lovey gift worthy range of hand painted water colour Harry Potter, Throne of Glass, Shatter Me and Illuminae bookmarks, as well as some special edition Christmas ones!!!
Everything on Nook and Burrow’s site, I want it all. All the handmade wooden bookmarks and all the bookishly awesome scented soy candles. Gimme, gimme, gimme. They also have a whole bunch of Christmas themed bookish goodies.
Bookish Baubles, I doubt that they’d be super difficult to make. I found this image at Book Nerd Reviews. I’m going to go op-shopping and hopefully finding some well-loved copies of classics to use. I’ve got a rough idea in my head on how I’m going to accomplish this just from looking at the photo. If they work out I’ll do a DIY post for my creations.
From Craftaphile.
From Creative ‘try’ als.
These are two cute and crafty bookish gifts (or decorations for yourself at home) that would require a trip to the second hand store and a lot of spare time – but aren’t they nifty. I’m wondering how long it would take me to make a few of the rolled paper ones out of news paper, then pant them with a water / PVA green paint tinged mix.
And last but not least: BOOKS!! All book nerds love them some books for Christmas.
I’ve already purchased some bookish Christmas gifts from Nook and Burrow, the Book Depository and Big W – I’m trying to be super organised this year :-).
