So…we have a little something different today guys. Something more personal, written by a guest, and something I feel the need to help share.
How Blogging Helped Me Deal With Grief
Force of Nature by Jane Harper | What happened to Alice?
• Goodreads | Amazon UK | Book Depository •
Today, my lovelies, I’m taking part in a blog tour! It’s been an awful long while since I’ve done one of these, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity when I heard about this book. It caught my attention immediately, and with the need for mystery I’ve been feeling lately, it came at just the right time!
Set in the rainy bushland of the Giralang Ranges, this book follows a team of five women reluctantly sent out on a team building hike. What better way to build team spirit, right? Well, sure…apart from one of them doesn’t come back. Things go downhill real quick when Alice Russell disappears from the group and the rest of the women come back looking worn and disheveled, the situation calling for Aaron Faulk and a whole team of investigators to get involved.

The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee | A futuristic story full of drama and money, distrust and crime
Oh, how the premise of thing book intrigued me so. I mean, it’s described as a SciFi novel with a Gossip Girl feel to it – how could I not wonder about that?
I actually didn’t think I’d be able to get this book for a very long while, since I’m on a book buying ban basically until Christmas (pray for me), but then the lovely people at SocialBookCo contacted me through their review programme, asking if I would like to review this for them. So of course, I said yes!
This is the 2nd book I’ve reviewed for them, so you’d think I’d have come up with a better way of explaining the site by now – but basically This is a site that compares all the different prices of books from different retailers, showing you where you can buy each book for the cheapest price. And then there’s the reviewing side – If you join their programme, there are opportunities for you to be sent books for free in exchange for an honest review by a given date. So check it out if you’re interested!
But enough with the rambling…
Let’s talk about The Thousandth Floor!

Let’s Talk: Is the average book size getting bigger, or am I imagining things?
Much like last week’s discussion, this is a thought that has always been lurking in the back of my mind.
I’ve been reading books ever since I COULD read books. And when being around something that long, it’s hard not to notice when things change.
Not that it changed quickly. But still, I’m sure it’s there. Unless I’m imagining things again.
So have books gradually gotten bigger over the years?

Blogger Tips: Helping you frolic through your blogging life [Design Edition]
After that little break from the blogging tips last Sunday, here we are back again!
We’ve had personal tips. We’ve had writing tips. Well this time, I’m here to bring you a few design tips
Again, the disclaimer of all disclaimers – I am in NO way saying this is the right way to do blogging. I’m not saying I’m particularly great at blogging. I’m just sharing tips that have been helpful to me over my year of blogging so far.
So let’s get on with the design tips!
Now I do have to admit, design isn’t my strong suit. It took me months to get my blog the way it is, purely because I’m so incapable of understanding technology. But I figured I might as well share what I’ve discovered through my hours of Googling and experimenting. So here we go.
Sidenote: All of these tips are entirely optional, of course.

Blogging is hard. There so much that comes with it. But…is there a sort of added pressure? Is there something making blogging just that little bit harder?
