But wait, who are you again?
Good question! I'm a nineteen year old Australian called Meaghan - but call me Meg (It's easier to spell and I'm quite fond of the nickname) - who reads a lot, writes a lot, and travels a fair bit. I also like making things by way of knitting, macrame, sewing, and cooking in all its various forms.
Why did I decide to make a book/travel blog, you ask?
Honestly, all I want to do is share my adventures and thoughts with the world, whether they're in the real world or a fictional one (or a fictional one of my own creation). I've been tossing up whether or not to actually do it or not, but I've collected so many books that I've yet to read and I'm going to some really interesting places in the next few months so I figured, why not share that with some like minded people and friends?
Okay, so what's the plan (or goal) for this blog?
Is it a travel book blog, or is it a travelling book blog? This while mainly be a book blog, but given the fact that I do travel and I'm planning on travelling to some fantastic places in the next few years, I'll probably post travel updates and tips on here as well, so it's a book blog that travels!
The main sorts of things that I want to post here will be book reviews, travel diaries, recommendation lists, "10 Things All (readers/writers/travellers) Do" lists, or, really, seeing as this is my blog, anything that I want to get off my mind and into the world.
What do you like to read, then?
I read a bunch of things and a very varied range of stuff too. I have a lot of comic books (I've noticed a common theme that most of them are female oriented or have a female main character like Spider-Gwen or the DC Bombshells series or Saga), as well as many historical novels (like Outlander and the His Majesty's Dragon books), fantasy novels (A Darker Shade of Magic and the Graceling series), and so many others!
I read a lot of Young Adult fiction, and I tend to stick to fantasy and SciFi, though I do enjoy a good contemporary or paranormal novel every now and again.

I'm also on a really big audiobook kick at the moment, and you can definitely expect something about those sooner or later.
Where have you travelled to, and where are you planning on going?
As this is partially a travel blog so it would make sense to have a post or something about where I've been every now and again, right? I've been to Spain, China, New Zealand, Canada, and the USA! I've also travelled and gone camping a lot in Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, the ACT and Queensland here in Australia. I might map out all the places I've been later, we shall see.
I'm planning on going back to the USA next year, I was over there working as a Camp Counsellor and Archery Instructor and would love to go back, and my sister and I are talking about travelling around the UK for a couple of months in 2019, and I would love to travel around Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America. I basically want to go everywhere.
I'll save all the little, nitty gritty details for another time, and later on, I can do a post with all the random fun facts people might want to know about a reader with the travel bug. But for now, I hope to connect and talk and share my thoughts about the books I'm reading and the places I'm travelling to.
Until the next time, Meg.
