At the start of the year I set myself a personal challenge to read more books to expand my mind, learn some new things, and to break away from reading what everyone else is reading. I’ve always enjoyed having some kind of year-long challenge however I was struggling to come up with a challenge that felt right! What I ended up with (most happily) is a year of reading non-fiction! Each month in 2019 has been allocated a topic and each month I will endeavour to read a minimum of two books on that topic! I am three months in and I’m loving my challenge and all the books I’ve chosen so far ❤️ . The whole point is to learn from these books and to implement my new knowledge into my life, and make some positive changes where I feel they’re needed! . The months are: January: Wellbeing February: Environment March: Nature April: Feminism May: Philosophy June: Wildlife July: Creativity August: Technology September: History October: Psychology November: Space December: Religion . I will be sharing everything I read as well as the lessons learned. Here is what I read in January, which was complimented by a heaps of review books that fit the theme perfectly! I’ll be sharing them all soon too! .

I’m posting this picture from the top of Diamond Hill in the Connemara National Park, Co. Clare! Ireland keeps getting better and better and we have scored the best week of weather of the year! The view up here is stunning! The hike up, not so fun! . This arc of The 57 Bus by Dashka Slater has an ominous feel, a book that feels heavy with the story it contains... an important one to read and share! . @hachettekids @wickstockcandleco #the57bus #wickstockcandleco #bookandcandle #ireland #bookcollector #bookworm #bibliophile #bookish #fullybooked #booklife (at Connemara National Park)

Good evening bookstagram! What a beautiful warm night! I’m having a tidy-up of my bookshelves and came across these four... I have a confession to make! I’ve never read His Dark Materials! There has been so much hype about #bookofdust and so I’m curious about where to start! Should I read them in publication order or should I start with Book of Dust? Why do you think of this series?? . @penguinbooksaus @scholastic_au @wickstockcandleco #hisdarkmaterials #labellesauvage #northernlights #thesubtleknife #theamberspyglass #philippullman #bookishcandle #bookandcandle #bookish #instabook #bookstagram #homelibrary #igreads #books #bibliophile #bookgram #bookworm #reader #booksofinstagram #booklife #bookphoto #wickstockcandleco

Happy Sunday bookworms! I’ve made lots of time to read this weekend! Of course, having the flat smell of #unicornfarts has really added to experience 😝 (in all seriousness, it smells amazing!! 🦄) What is everyone reading today? . Excitingly, I will be back on Aussie soil in 30 days today! I am SO excited!! Will need to start planning what books I’m bringing back with me to add to my library! How many books will fill my 30kg suitcase? 🤷🏻‍♀️ . @wickstockcandleco #wickstockcandleco #unicornlife #bookworm #bibliophile #bookish #fullybooked #booklife #bookseller #bookshop #booksbooksbooks #booklover #bookgeek #booknerd #lovebooks #instabooks #rainbowbooks #bookishrainbow #bookshelfie #shelfie #bookshelf #sundayshelfie #shelfiesunday #rainbowlife (at Liverpool) https://www.instagram.com/p/BskiXJpHpiv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=62raclf9sudv

Well bookworms, I have just finished Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers! It is a book I have heard so much about and a copy has sat on my Australian bookshelf for ages! I was gifted a copy by @hmhteen this year for my UK bookshelf and I’m so glad I have finally read it! The writing was not as strong as I was expecting however I thoroughly enjoyed the story! Set in medieval Brittany (France), Ismae is trained by the nuns of St. Mortain in the arts of assassination and is then sent out on her missions. She finds herself among the Duchy of Brittany and must fight for her survival and for those she comes to care about. Although she is trained to kill without question, Ismae has a heart and realises that her instructors may not be as infallible as she is lead to believe. Instead, she follows her heart and is rewarded by her patron saint for doing so. . I really enjoyed the historical context, the ruthlessness of the royal court and the duplicitous characters! I’ve always enjoyed historical fiction for those aspects! The Tudors ( later in history) were the best 😂 I look forward to adding book two to my neverending #tbrpile #sorrynotsorry 🤷🏻‍♀️ . #wickstockcandleco #fuckoffimreading #gravemercy #robinlafevers #hisfairassassin #historicalfiction #feminist #feminism #bookmail #newbooks #readersofinstagram #bookblogger #bookstagram #bookreview #booksbooksbooks #booknerd #bookworm #booklover #bibliophile #bookishfeatures #bookish #fullybooked #bibliophile #flatlaylove #flatlay #bookishcandle #bookcandle (at Liverpool) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrCrTfvHkKz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17nqqjpt8wrb3
