Guys, do you realise that I've posted four days in a row? I feel so proud of myself for actually sitting down and scheduling posts! *pats back* Today, I'm coming to you with a cover reveal! EMBERS AND ASH (August, 2014) by Ted Goeglein is the third and final book in the COLD FURY trilogy from Penguin Books. If you're a long time bookie, you would know that I absolutely loved the first book in the series! I do have a copy of the second but I'm yet to get around to reading it (my TBR is HUGE and my reading speed is really, really, realllllly slow this year). Anyhow, enjoy the pretty cover!

WHAT'S THIS? TWO POSTS IN A ROW? SOMEONE HAS HIJACKED THE BADASS BOOKIE. Just kidding, I'm just being super diligent this week! As part of the blog tour for The Last Girl by Michael Adams (Allen and Unwin), I've got a Q and A with the man himself today! Super stroked about having Michael on the blog, when I first received my copy of The Last Girl, I skimmed through the first couple of chapters and IT'S FANTASTIC. Can't wait to find time and dig in! Interview with Michael Adams Quickies -  Early Bird or Late Owl? Early bird. I have to get up at 5 for work each day. By choice: night owl.  Chocolate or Lollies? Both. Choc outside and lolly inside.
