This book. Wow. I cannot thank my Conrad Girls enough for gifting me this beautiful book for Christmas last year. J, S and H, thank you - I hope you get the opportunity to read this and be inspired. I cannot recommend this book enough. I loved everything about it. Michelle Obama has become my top inspiration role model and when I grow up I hope to be half as wonderful as she is. Read this book. You will not regret it. #adventuresoftheliftinglibrarian #gagensreads
My latest read! I gave it 4⭐ and really enjoyed it 😊 Full review up on my blog. Link in bio ❤️ #adventuresoftheliftinglibrarian #gagensreads
On Sunday (was that really only yesterday...) I reffed/judged my first strongman competition. I've been around strongman competitions for about 6 years and have been helping to run them for about 4. I've been time keeper, scorer, head scorer, and meet director, but judging was never something I thought I'd do. So, when we realised we'd be short a judge on Sunday for the SEQSS 2nd Round, I volunteered as tribute. Drew didn't hesitate when he said yes. I honestly thought he'd tell me no, because I'd never done it before and this certainly wasn't a novice competition. Anyway, this is not a "give me praise" post, but rather a gratitude post for my husband. On Sunday I did something really scary. I stepped outside my comfort zone; I stepped up and it was all because my husband believed in me. In our 7 ish years together, he's never told me I couldn't do something (except that other uni degree that we won't mention 😂). He's always supported me 100%. Because of him I've competed internationally in powerlifting and am an international referee. Because of him I'm working towards a PhD. Because of him I'm training for a marathon and am healthier than I've been in a long time. Because of him I've had the strength to work on my mental health and am getting better every day. Thank you, Drew 🧡 PS. I finally feel worthy of doing the strongman thumbs up 😂👍 #adventuresoftheliftinglibrarian
Have I mentioned how much I love Star Wars? Most people know that I'm a Harry Potter girl, but most people are always shocked to learn that I also adore Star Wars (more than other Disney actually). This Aftermath series by @chuck_wendig was something I didn't know I needed until I came across it. Pictured is the final book in the trilogy and it fills in all sorts of gaps and details between Ep VI and Ep VII. #adventuresoftheliftinglibrarian #gagensreads
Happy birthday Harry (and JK Rowling)! I felt like baking this afternoon and I couldn't resist this opportunity. Turned out better than expected and it was so tasty. Also took the opportunity to wear one of my Harry Potter shirts to school today. It was fun ❤️⚡🦁🎂 #adventuresoftheliftinglibrarian #harrypottersbirthday
Have I mentioned that I'm in love with my @loungefly mini backpacks?! This one is R2D2 (obviously...) and it was the perfect bag for our school inter-house athletics carnival on Friday. #adventuresoftheliftinglibrarian
Thoroughly enjoying this series. Have you ever started a book but then paused it to prioritise others? That's what happened to me and Aftermath: Life Debt. I'm so glad that I finally took the plunge, prioritised it and finished it. It was so good. I'm a massive Star Wars fan and I absolutely loved getting MORE. This series fills in some of the gaps between Episode VI and Episode VII. I'm loving it #gagensreads #adventuresoftheliftinglibrarian
Here's me, casually lunging 100kg for a set of 6. I did this on Wednesday this week and I'm still smiling. When @tomhaynes_aep told me I'd be doing this, I didn't believe him. That was less than 6 months ago. This is about 7 months post ACL tear and I could not be prouder. Honestly, I can't believe I did this and that it was easy! Yes, I know they could be deeper, and yes, I am going to work on doing more reps but can we all just pause to appreciate how rock solid and steady these look!! Also, please remember that my balance is so bad that I needed an ankle recon because I fell down some stairs... LOOK AT HOW STEADY AND CONTROLLED THESE ARE! To top off this fabulous week, I've also walked a total of 25km so far this week and I'm planning on to more walks this weekend. I've had a great week despite this never ending cold. I'm so grateful for Tom; I'm so thankful for my husband's support; but mostly, I'm so very proud of myself #adventuresoftheliftinglibrarian @valhalla_strength_sth_bne
I had so much fun at #pixarputt with @amandaholley8 today! I strongly believe in doing things that make you laugh and boy did we laugh. Glad to have #teacherfriends that are just as big a kid as I am 💜 #adventuresoftheliftinglibrarian
We read Artemis by Andy Weir for #valkyriesbookclub this month (well, for June) and while it divided the group, I really enjoyed it. Main character Jazz is arrogant, flawed, and a bit of an asshole, but I liked her nonetheless. The explanation of science and economics is done in such a way that it's very accessible and actually adds to the story rather than feeling like a chore. I gave this 4 out of 5 ⭐ #gagensreads #adventuresoftheliftinglibrarian
