We are big animals lovers in Pennant Hills (generally speaking, we put Marnie in the corner when we discuss our fur babies). With the amount of dogs that visit our shop and so many conversations I’ve had with our lovely regulars about their fur babies I knew I needed t...

Who doesn’t like Tom Hiddleston? Those curls, those eyes and that attitude of equality and consideration for all. Someone recently pointed out to me that he has featured in quite a few different adaptations of books. Then when I did some research I realised that not on...

If you visit Dog Eared Books on a regular basis or even read my blog posts, you would have noticed that I’m a big fan of kids books. Even though I left childhood behind some years ago, I find something so satisfying in reading a really good kids book every so often. It...

In the past, I was never sure about short stories. I understood (in theory) the beauty and style required, but I’m normally such a fast reader that -zip! - it was done just as I started to get into it. So I tried reading them slower and sometimes that worked. I could b...

I've never been able to complete a reading challenge before. It's obviously not because I don't read enough books, but because I get distracted and go on a reading spree of a particular genre and never quite make it through every genre every year (i.e business books......

There is so much more discussion about Disabilities and Mental Health than there ever was when I was a child. In general media, in kids media - everywhere, these topics are open in a way that I think is terrific and healthy. We need to be able to talk about these often...
