Wanna watch something hilarious?


Okay so I know that this isn’t even remotely related to anything booky but I’m currently a bit obsessed, just ask Nicole, with this YouTube clip of a failed TV show called Poochinski, I just have to share its goodness with everyone. But Romy you ask what is this Poochinski about exactly? Well I’m glad you asked, Poochinski (don’t you just love that name) is about a boorish cop killed in the line of duty whose soul is mystically transplanted into the body of his pet bulldog. The talking bulldog is taken in by his straight-laced partner and together they have to learn to live as wacky roommates while taking a bite out of crime *Giggles whilst falling off a chair*. Man whoever came up with this has one twisted and wacky imagination, oh pure genius this is, I can’t believe it was cancelled after only one episode. Now without further ado here is the fabulous clip, enjoy!


If you, like myself, thought to yourself gee I wish I could view the entire episode, well today is your lucky day because a wonderful person has uploaded the entire episode (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) onto YouTube for all the world to bask in Poochinski’s absolute absurdity, praise!

Now I’m going to attempt to try and add something bookish into this post as this is a book blog so I was wondering if anyone has read any books where a character has been turned into an animal, at the moment I can’t think of any I’ve read but my brain is a tad mushy right now, something may turn up in my head later but for now I’ve got nothing, so please any thoughts?

Queensland Flood Appeal

After seeing the harrowing images of the Queensland floods on television and reading all about the devastating effect the floods are having on the people of Queensland I’ve decided to write up a post about how you can help those that are currently affected by this tragic event.


The floods that are currently travelling through Queensland are the worst since the 1974 floods, however many more people will be affected this time around as Queensland is much more populated now compared to what it was in ’74.

Brisbane the capital of Queensland and Australia’s third largest city is also flooded in parts. For scale just in Brisbane alone it is expected that almost 20,000 homes and 3,500 businesses will be flooded, currently up to 75% of the state of Queensland has been declared a disaster area.


Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes to evacuation centers. At least 15 people have been confirmed dead and many more are missing, the clean up of this disaster is going to cost billions of dollars.

Below are some amazing images of the havoc the flood has wreaked in parts of Queensland.








So please if you would like to help please donate.

The Queensland Government is asking that only financial donations be made to the Premier’s Flood Relief Appeal.
