#RiotGrams day 13

In June, I’m partaking in a bookish Instagram challenge here on the blog. Pictures are required (because Instagram), so I’ll post a pic with some explanation or other every day. The challenge is courtesy of Bookriot. And if you’ve got Instagram and want to see what other people come up with, just check #riotgrams.

Since it’s summer in Malaysia all year long, I just grabbed two books I really love and photographed them by the pool.

Keep your fingers crossed...

Last day of review tour

Today is the last day of the review tour. Phew. A new release is hard work, guys, and now I’m gonna spend the rest of the week lounging around on the couch.

Not. Books don’t write themselves. But at least I can go back to being Introvert Nell again. At least that’s something
