Olivia Smith... and her BookWorld
Reading is something you can learn, love or just enjoy.
To me, reading is my passion.
I travel through words and stories, live in the past of great centuries, get disturbed by characters who need my attention and fall in love adventures I wish I had.
This is my world of BookLikes
ENJOY
Hallo!
Ich liebe das Lesen. Ich finde es immer so toll, in Welten einzutauchen, die man nicht kennt, die man entdecken möchte. Dieses Gefühl in etwas vertieft zu sein oder das Gefühl nicht mehr aus dieser Welt hinauszugehen.
Mit einem guten Buch ist man nie allein *.*
ABIA's Top Prize Goes to The Light Between Oceans
In an event last night the Australian Book Industry Awards (ABIA) were held. This award is hosted by the Australian Publishers Association and recognises the great working in all aspects of the book industry. I prefer these awards over the Stella or the Miles Franklin simply because they celebrate great work in publishing and bookselling as well. Congratulations to all the winners and I’ll leave it to you to decide if M.L. Stedman deserved all the major awards.
