QBD The Bookshop Blog

Hey Everyone,

Today's post is all about the QBD Blog which is the blog of an Australian book store franchise. As many of you may already know (if you follow my instagram), I work in one of the stores and also regularly have posts on the blog which are different from the ones I have on here. I have been posting on there for a few months now and so I thought I could compile a list of all the reviews I have made, to make it easier for you all to find one that interests you. I also thought it would be great for some of you who are new to my blog, to see some of my other reviews.

Be sure to visit the QBD blog in order to read all types of reviews from more avid readers: https://blog.qbd.com.au/

Here are all the posts I have posted so far on there:

5. Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children By Ransom Riggs

(https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9460487-miss-peregrine-s-home-for-peculiar-children)

So I read the graphic novel of this book and absolutely love it. Now I really want to pick up the books to find out what happens next. This book has time travel throughout it which is nicely placed in the background of the plot. This series is about a boy who stumbles upon a mysterious home of unique children who all have amazing powers after his grandfather is murdered by a monster. I really want to read these books and find out more about this world.

Top 5 Wednesday: Biggest Book Hangovers

Hey Everyone,

Today's post is all about book hangovers. I'm sure we've all experienced it, where you finish reading a book and there is just nothing else you want to do but think about what you just read. When I've read a good book, I usually don't want to read anything else for a period of time because I'm still stuck thinking about that book. So today I will be sharing my top 5 book hangovers. Be sure to visit the Top 5 Wednesday's Goodreads page: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/118368-top-5-wednesday and join in the fun.

Let's begin!!!

5. Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

(https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1162543.Breaking_Dawn)

This series was my life back in high school and so when it ended I could not get over it. Unlike most people, I really enjoyed the final book and thought it added to the story and so I was so unhappy for the series to finish. The ending was satisfying for me and so all I did was sit and think about it once I stopped reading.

Review Tuesday: Raina Telgemeier (Author)

Hey Everyone,

First of all, I would like to apologise for this post being late as I was having computer issues yesterday and was unable to post anything. Thank you all for understanding.

Today's review post is a little bit different to my previous posts as today I will be reviewing an author rather than just book. I plan to do more of these in the future, so please let me know what you think about it. Today's author review is of a graphic novelist by the name of Raina Telgemeier.

Raina Telgemeier is an American graphic novelist that both writes and illustrates her own work. She has currently released three books that have all been best selling graphic novels, all whist also working with Ann M. Martin, in creating graphic adaptations of Martin's well loved series, "The Babysitter's Club". Her books are a mix of fiction and non fiction with the non fiction retelling stories from her childhood. So in todays author review I would like to review the three books Telgemeier has published through Graphix Publishing which is an imprint of Scholastic.
