𝕿𝖍𝖔𝖚𝖌𝖍 𝖘𝖍𝖆𝖑𝖙 𝖓𝖔𝖙 𝖘𝖚𝖋𝖋𝖊𝖗 𝖆 𝖜𝖎𝖙𝖈𝖍 𝖙𝖔 𝖑𝖎𝖛𝖊 🐍🕊 Did I finally cave to peer pressure and start planning a female Reid Diggory cosplay? Please enjoy these ridiculous photos I took the other night when my curls were doing well. This is my interpretation of everyone’s fave stoic chasseur getting snapped reading romance novels. I feel like he’d totally be into Mills & Boons and authors like Nora Roberts 😂 I cant wait to put a full look together for him. Now, who’s excited for Blood & Honey?! #serpentanddove #bloodandhoney #shelbymahurin #reiddiggory #reiddiggorycosplay #louiseleblanc #louleblanc #chasseur #femmereiddiggore #book #bookish #bookishcosplay #bookcosplay #bookcharacter #cosplay #harperteen #harpercollinsnz https://www.instagram.com/p/B_59DXEALHn/?igshid=geth3okb3kqm

𝕾𝖊𝖗𝖕𝖊𝖓𝖙 & 𝕯𝖔𝖛𝖊 - @shelbymahurin I’ve been impatiently waiting for this book ever since Shelby announced in a certain fb group that she’d sold it months and months ago. When it finally arrived, I had to wait yet another week to read it. 24 hours later, I’ve completely devoured it, and it was so. worth. the. wait!! The characters are fantastic and the story left me desperately wanting more. I loved Lou’s vulgarity and cheek and her incredibly kind heart despite herself. My heart burst for Reid as he opened up and finally saw the the world beyond his Chasseur uniform and we got more of his precious lop-sided grin. The perfectly complicated relationships these characters had with love, friendship, family, religion felt all too relatable and real. It also had an entirely new take on the way magic works within the world. It wasn’t just simple spells or magic wands, the Dames Blanches and Dames Rouges showed us a whole new system of balance and blood. I have been reading books about witches and magic since I was a small child and it was refreshing to be shown a new world. As I struggle to emerge from this book hangover, I now start the countdown to the next book in the series (oh Mother!) and anxiously await more adventure with Lou, Reid, Coco, and who could forget our precious sweet bb, Ansel. Thank you, Shelby, for this wonderful world and these amazing characters. 🖤 #serpentanddove #shelbymahurin #louandreid #louiseleblance #reiddiggory #damesblanches #damesrouges #bookstagram #booklayout #bookish #book #bookworm_insta #bookflatlay #bookreview #bookrecommendations #harperteen #harpercollins #harpercollinsnz #nzbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B2kQKSRANop/?igshid=1nwd6hf5ysgud

Review: Hound of the Sea By Garrett McNamara with Karen Karbo @HarpercollinsNZ @GMACHawaii #5stars #Lovedit #Checkitoutnow

In his thrilling and candid memoir, big-wave surfer Garrett McNamara chronicles his unlikely and harrowing journey to ride the most formidable waves on earth.

Garrett McNamara set a world record when he surfed a seventy-eight-foot wave in Nazaré, Portugal, in 2011, a record he smashed three years later at the same break. Propelled by the challenge, McNamara travels the globe to ride the most dangerous waves, from giant barrels breaking on shallow, jagged reefs to massive, open ocean hurricane swells. But what motivates McNamara to go to such extremes Is catching giant waves the ultimate exercise in control or surrender

Review

***I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader's Copy of this book for my honest review & I thank the publishers Harper Collins NZ*** Considering I hardly ever pick biographical books when I was given the catalogue for reviews from #HarperCollinsNZ the first thing that grabbed my eye was the cover, as a keen photographer it just drew me in to look closer, that #wave, its like #epic (I am channeling my latent #surferchick vibe, can you tell) I LOVE the sea, having been born on the East Coast of England, and then moving to NZ and also living even nearer the sea (200m away) I then lived on the coast of Queensland for 3 years, and now I am back in Invercargill, and drive to Bluff twice a day and I do enjoy the ever-changing view of the sea. My goal is to get back to living with a #seaview again soon. I have always wanted to learn to surf (and I decided to add it to my bucket list after reading this book) OK I doubt I will ride waves as big as Garrett does, but the thing is I've been glued to this book, and it is not just because it's about #surfing, because although it is, it is also about striving for your #dreams #goals and the main lesson I got from reading this book is that you #neverquit. It was a truly inspirational read, at first, the book had my eyebrows raised, his childhood is like off the scale opposite to myself and my husband's, I couldn't imagine how he and his brothers did not fall foul of a sticky end. BUT I do think his unusual upbringing had something to do with the way he looks at life. He talks candidly about his life, the highs and lows, the pages were full of stories that showed his Passion, commitment, friendship, loyalty and honesty. He lives for the moment, for all the possibilities, to pursue your dreams no matter they be big or small.

Quote: Fear is a choice, something we manufacture in our in our minds. When we think about the past or the future we become afraid. We're afraid because we remember when something bad happened before and we're scared it's going to happen again. If we are in the moment and enjoying the moment and making the best of the moment, there is no fear.

I think the one thing I will take from reading this book is that even when everything was going wrong, he still carried on... this has had an effect on me, So I will keep picking myself up as life throws its spanners in my life, smile and enjoy the journey down this road called life.

Author Bio

Hard-sell big-wave daredevil from the North Shore of Oahu; two-time Billabong XXL Performer of the Year; called "one of the most extreme high-sensation seekers on the planet," by fellow big wave rider Greg Long.

McNamara was born (1967) in Massachusetts, moved with his family to Hawaii at age 12, began surfing shortly thereafter, and was riding the North Shore's heavyweight breaks by 16. After an uneventful competitive career ran out of gas out in the mid-1990s, the anvil-jawed regular foot launched his professional second act by becoming one of the sport's most fearless—and cocksure—tow surfers. Along with tow partner Rodrigo Risende, McNamara won the inaugural Tow Surfing World Cup at Jaws in 2002; he then became a regular nominee at Billabong XXL Awards, winning Best Overall Performance in 2003 and in 2007, and the Monster Paddle Award for largest paddle-in wave of the year, also in 2007. #courtesy of encyclopediaofsurfing

Hound of the Sea: Wild Man. Wild Waves. Wild Wisdom, McNamara's memoir, was published in 2016.

If Blood Should Stain The Wattle By Jackie French #5Stars #HistoricalFiction #Teen #YoungAdult #Review @jackie_french_ @HarperCollinsNZ

It’s 1972 in Gibber’s Creek, and across the nation, the catchcry is, ‘It’s time’. In 1972, and the catchcry is ‘It’s time’. As political ideals drift from disaster to the dismissal, it’s also time for Jed Kelly to choose between past love, Nicholas, the local Labor member, and Sam from the Halfway to Eternity commune. It’s time too for Matilda Thompson to face her ghosts and the life that took a…

Review: The Fire Sermon (The Fire Sermon #1) by Francesca Haig @FrancescaHaig @HarpercollinsNZ

The Hunger Games meets Cormac McCarthy’s The Road in this richly imagined first novel in a new postapocalyptic trilogy by award-winning poet Francesca Haig.

Four hundred years in the future, the Earth has turned primitive following a nuclear fire that laid waste to civilization and nature. Though the radiation fallout has ended, for some unknowable reason every person is born with a twin.…

The Gentlemen’s Guide to Vice and Virtue is out now in New Zealand! This is such a fantastic book, I was utterly charmed by it. I loved the characters, particularly Monty, despite him being a completely vile at times. I adored Percy and who has the courage of his convictions to forge his own path. One of the other standouts was Felicity, also putting up with no nonsense from Monty and a woman with a mind of her own. What I loved most of all was the setting of a Grand Tour in Europe. It absolutely made this story shine. Diverse characters, woman who most certainly do not need saving, adventures, a three musketeers feel and pirates. One of my favourite reads. - - - - - - - - - - #thegentlemansguidetoviceandvirtue #diversebooks #harpercollinsnz #mackenzilee #lgbtqbooks #booksandnature #booksanddesks #creativelivechaotic #bookphotochallenge #adventurebook #dreambunnybookishsept18 - #wanderlust #tinyloveseptember18 - #lgbtqcharacters #bgsept18 - #historicalbooks #jcfseptember - #brightbooks #colourfulbooks #hypebabesread - #coverlove #bookcoverdesign #bookstagramtogethersept - #cosysunday #bookstawarriorssept18 - #diversereads #favoritecharacter #lgbtqiabooks #bookishpopsseptember - #lazyweekend #bookishcandles https://www.instagram.com/p/BoDKanTlFcC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9nc5jfitbjoa
