✨Q: If you could get a message to your younger self, what would you tell them? . 🌊 I am so excited to be able to kick off the A Lifetime of Impossible Days book tour today, thanks to @birdtabitha and @readthebooktours ! . I honestly can’t express how much I adored this book, the writing and the story were just incredible. It was released 4 June and I’ve just posted a full review on my blog, so make sure you check it out and add this one to your TBR! . 📖 “Meet Willa Waters, aged 8 . . . 33 . . . and 93. . On one impossible day in 1965, eight-year-old Willa receives a mysterious box containing a jar of water and the instruction: ‘One ocean: plant in the backyard.’ So she does - and somehow creates an extraordinary time slip that allows her to visit her future selves. . On one impossible day in 1990, Willa is 33 and a mother-of-two when her childhood self magically appears in her backyard. But she’s also a woman haunted by memories of her dark past – and is on the brink of a decision that will have tragic repercussions . . . . On one impossible day in 2050, Willa is a silver-haired, gumboot-loving 93-year-old whose memory is fading fast. Yet she knows there’s something she has to remember, a warning she must give her past selves about a terrible event in 1990. If only she could recall what it was. . Can the three Willas come together, to heal their past and save their future, before it’s too late?” . 🌊 If you check out my stories, you’ll find a link to the author, Tabitha Bird’s, website, a list of all the other amazing bookstagrammers involved in the tour and a pic of my attempt at making jam drops, which play a big part in A Lifetime of Impossible Days, with my daughter 😄) Also keep an eye on my account for an amazing giveaway at the end of the tour ☺️💙 . . . #bookstagram #alifetimeofimpossibledays #booksofinstagram #fortheloveofreading #booklove #bookworms #readthebooktours #bookgram #igreads #bookphoto #bookreview #bookrecomendation #australianauthors #booktour #magicalrealism #bookaholic #bibliophile #bookgirl #booklife

✨Q: Tell me a book you adore the cover for, but weren’t a big fan of the story inside? . 💜 I could stare at this cover all day, but the story was just so so depressing. I like emotional reads, I can deal with sadness in books, but I like to feel something other than just sad when I finish them. . 💜 Today’s prompt for #ampersandjune19 is ‘black, grey, white, purple’ . . . #bookstagram #coverlover #bookstack #bookish #bookaesthetic #bookstagrammer #myhome #booklife #bookishfeatures #ilovebooks #booksbooksbooks #cosyvibes #booklover #coverlove #fortheloveofreading #bookinstagram #igreads #myeverydaymagic #bookcommunity

✨Q: What is everyone up to for their Sunday (or Saturday night, depending on where you are) today? . 📚 Happy #shelfiesunday everyone! We’re off to a 3 year olds birthday party today. Kids birthday parties are amazing, because there’s chocolate crackles and fairy bread (except when it’s one of those parents who do healthy party food. I try not to be friends with those people. 😂). Who has a favourite kid party food? Tell me what it is 😁 . . . #bookstagram #shelfie #rainbowshelfie #siegeandstorm #booksofinstagram #bookish #bibliophile #alwaysreading #rainbowlife #booklifestyle #booknerdigans #bookphoto #bookpics #homeinspo #homedecor #fortheloveofreading #bookaesthetic #booklove #bookworm
