My #australiareadsathome haul from local indie bookstore @thegrumpyswimmer - who's offering free local delivery 🙌 🤓 ❤ 🎬 🐶 Clockwise from top left: . ❤ 🎬 HOW TO MAKE A MOVIE IN 12 DAYS - by @fionathehardy and @affirmpress. 🎬 I've been wanting to read this middle grade book ever since hearing Fiona interviewed on the podcast @onemorepage. Am completely addicted to hearing about how an author gets their story out into the world. 😊 🎬 So happy to finally have it in my hands. . ❤ 🐶 THIS IS A DOG - This picture book is clever, joyous, cheeky, simple and yet sophisticated. With minimal text, it leaves a lot of room for engagement, inference, discovery and discussion. By acclaimed Scottish author/illustrator Ross Collins, published by the innovative London team @nosycrow (Who incidentally provide a free digital audio reading of every paperback picture book via their Stories Aloud interface, which simply requires you to scan the QR code on the book, and you get a child's voice reading the book, along with background music. So good!) . ❤ WHEN WE WERE VIKINGS - by Andrew David MacDonald and published by @simonschusterau 🧡 So how did a book by a debut author end up in my hands? • Cover - instantly attracted me ✔ • Blurb - quirky and interesting and promised to appeal to lovers of Eleanor Oliphant (so loved this book) ✔ Also, described as an 'uplifting' and 'heart-swelling' story about an 'unlikely heroine' ✔✔✔ • Read the first page and really liked the voice and tone. ✔✔ • Bought the book 🤓✔ Needless to say, am looking forward to getting into this one. . ❤ ANZAC GIRL - The war diaries of Sister Alice Ross-King. A picture book written by @ksimpsonbooks and illustrated by @jessesmess.⚡Warning: you will need a tissue/hankie for this divine homage (and true story) of Alice, set in the Great War, who went on to become Australia's most decorated woman. Was literally sobbing by the end. Big congrats to Kate (the great great granddaughter of Alice), Jess and their publisher @allenandunwin on an exquisitely produced book. . . #emmabowd #author #writer #maker #reader #australiareads #howtomakeamoviein12days #thisisadog #whenwewerevikings #anzacgirl #readathome #stayathome
In these uncertain times, I decided it was time for Puppy Storytime with Miss Winnie 💗 🐶 And thanks to Ken @reading_with_a_chance_of_tacos, I had this gorgeous trio of books by Aussie authors to read. (I recently won them by subscribing to Ken's fab podcast and newsletter 🙌 ) 🐶 💗 . 💗🐶 Miss Winnie loved hearing about the Puppy School capers in EVIE AND POG by @taniamccartney... and I think she completely agrees with Pog and would rather not go to puppy school...ever! 🐶 I secretly fell in love with Granny Gladys and her fabulous wardrobe...and developed some serious #grannygoals (e.g. the pompom outfit) 👗💄📿👠👢 To say that I'm excited about Tania illustrating my debut picture book next year with @windyhollow is an understatement 😍 💗 . 💗🐶 Miss Winnie and I both decided that she was the polar opposite to Caz Goodwin's LAZY DAISY! I won't even try to count the number of photos my son had to take of our jumping jack russell to get this shot 😂 Though the joyful rhyming text by @cazgoodwin0 did thoroughly entertain us both 😊 . 💗🐶 Vikki Conley's clever THE LOST MOUSTACHE kept Winnie and me guessing right to the end 😊 I particularly loved how the illustrator @caterinametti played with scale and proportion with such a lush and vivid colour palette in this picture book. And my inner 5 year-old is just itching to colour-in the gorgeous pages which are at the end of the book! . 💗🐶 All in all, a lovely afternoon break in the garden, on what was also @readtomeday 💗🐶 . . . #australiareadsathome #emmabowd #author #reader #internationalreadtomeday #readaloud #kidsbooks #kidsbookstagram #storytime #evieandpog #lazydaisy #thelostmoustache #juniorfiction #picturebook #storytime #jackrussell #puppy #joy #simplepleasures
Ah Melbourne 💞 . . . #sunset #melbourne #baysidemelbourne
Completely in love with my new print, 'Every Book is a Door' by @zenosworder 🧡 Having recently finished writing a middle grade fiction novel, this stunning graphite pencil and watercolour illustration sums up beautifully the end product of the story writing process for me 🧡 (Purchased recently @therosestmarket ) . . #emmabowd #writer #author #maker #literacyambassador #amwriting #middlegradefiction #kidlit #creativewriting #writerslife #writersofig #authorsofig #writerscommunity #writersstudio #melbournecreatives #rosestmarket

#askatwood 💙 "In order to be a writer, you have to do the writing." Margaret Atwood 💙 The spotlight was quite rightly on @therealmargaretatwood tonight at Hamer Hall, Melbourne 💙 A great night in the presence of greatness 💙 Fabulously interviewed by Virginia Trioli @latrioli ...I think we could all have stayed for an hour or two longer 😉 . 💙 Some more take home quotes from Margaret Atwood: 💙 "If you kill the oceans you will die. 💙 "There is no 'the future'. The future will depend on choices we make now. We need to fix the big problems.

So I don't go to my Post Office for a couple of weeks... and @findac sneaks into my hood... again! 💙 LOVE the detail on the chimney 💙 This beauty (full length pic in my story ⬆️) is officially our second @findac mural in Brighton, Bayside Melbourne 🙌 Scroll down my feed for a pic of his first Brighton mural (April 2016) 🙌 How lucky are we!! . . . #findac #hiddenbeauty #melbourne #melbournestreetart #streetartmelbourne #streetartaustralia #streetartaustralia_melbourne #baysidemelbourne #brightonmelbourne #visitvictoria #secretbayside #melbournesuburbs #urbanart #urbanaesthetics #ourbayside #writersofinstagram #emmabowd #streetartlovers
❤ It's now almost 11yrs since my novel 'The Shoe Princess's Guide to the Galaxy' (@bloomsburypublishing) first danced out into the world ❤ Just goes to show that the universal tale of first time motherhood, friendship, love and shoes will always stand the test of time ❤👠🤱 . ❤ This author-signed copy is off to the lovely Jenny in South Australia who is currently penning her own commercial fiction novel. . ❤ I recently snaffled the last handful of my books from the UK warehouse - so if you'd like a signed copy, simply visit my website (link in profile) or DM and I can point you in the right direction 😊😘 . . . #theshoeprincessguidetothegalaxy #booksandshoes #shoeprincess #theshoeprincess #books #novel #chicklit #fiction #firsttimemum #newmum #motherhood #babies #friendship #shoes #love #life #melbournewriter #writerlife #authorsofinstagram #emmabowd #writersofig #signedbytheauthor #bloomsburypublishing
Absolutely brilliant day @tilbrookestate in the Adelaide Hills❣ 🥂🍷🍃🍾 . ❣ Lovely to spend the entire day outdoors - helping my dear friend Annabelle @ahillsdweller man the Cellar Door with their very first batch of 'Hope' wines since bushfires ravaged the Adelaide Hills (and unfortunately the @tilbrookestate vineyard) five days before Christmas last year. . ❣My hubby was a champ and spent the whole day volunteering out in the vineyard with James @tilbrookestate and ten other volunteers - cutting out burnt vines, wires, irrigation lines and fencing. . ❣ The @tilbrookestate sparkling rosé and rosé were definite best-sellers today. Had so many lovely chats and sold so many lovely wines to people who had come up from Adelaide for the day to support Tilbrook Estate and many other wineries affected by the bushfire❣ . . #deedbags #deedsnotwords #emmabowd #author #maker #winelover #tilbrookestate #sparklingrosé #rosé #sauvignonblanc #boutiquewinery #adelaidehills #bushfires #emptyesky #risefromtheashes #cudleecreekfire #thisisaustralia #australia #hope #BookThemOut #seesouthaustralia
