Gorgeous pic by @littlemissstar55 sharing some creepy book recommendations for October. 😱 . #Repost @littlemissstar55 • • • • • • Today is day 13 of the #AmpersandOct19 challenge, and today’s prompt is: Haunted: Gave you the creeps. Small Spaces by Sarah Epstein – again, it’s spooky month, pick this one up. Now, I bet you’re wondering WHY I chose The Nowhere Girls by Amy Reed for the second book? Well, that’s easy – it’s CREEPY as heck just how the rapist in this book thinks and the utter disgustingness he puts out into his online manifestos. What is a book that gave you the creeps? #ya #loveozya #yafiction #yathriller #creepyreads #iloveya #ireadya #ireadyalit #bookstagram #bibliophile #SmallSpaces #SarahEpstein #sarahepsteinbooks #amyreed #thenowheregirls

Just when I thought awards season was all over for #SmallSpaces ...I'm blown away to find out it's been shortlisted in the @statelibraryqld Queensland Literary Awards in the Griffith University Young Adult Book category! This is the ninth award nomination for Small Spaces and I never could have imagined my debut novel would be embraced in this way after working so hard for so long to break into the publishing industry. Cheers to you, Small Spaces! And huge congrats to all the other wonderful shortlistees. 🎉🎉🎉 . #loveOzYA #QLDlitawards #litawards #literaryawards #shortlisting #aussieya #iloveya #yapsychthriller #yathriller #ireadya #ireadyalit #authorsofinstagram #ya #yabooks #australianauthors #yafiction #bookstagram #bibliophile #SarahEpstein

Well, it's Fri-YAY so it must be time for some happy news! As you can tell by my big cheesy grin, I'm absolutely delighted to share with you that my next YA novel will be released with @allenandunwin in 2020. I am thrilled to be working with publisher Anna McFarlane and over the moon to be reunited with editor extraordinaire @acrophony #dreamteambacktogether More to come. Watch this space! 😄 . #loveozya #bookcontract #allenandunwin #yacrime #yacrimefiction #iloveya #ireadya #authorsofinstagram #aussiebooks #australianauthor #aussieya #signonthedottedline #bibliophile #amwriting #amediting #publishingcontract

Thank god for that! *falls over* I've been a bit quiet lately and this is why. The last stretch of writing this book was incredibly tough, so I am soooo relieved to have it finished at last. . #amwriting #yacrime #loveozya #yabooks #authorsofinstagram #yafiction

Absolutely thrilled to win the @sistersincrimeau Davitt Award 2019 for Best Young Adult Crime Novel. It's been a huge debut year for #SmallSpaces and wonderful to end it on a such a high, especially with Sisters in Crime who invited me to speak on my first ever panel as a newly-minted author. Such a fabulous night with a truly lovely bunch of people. And here I am having my ultimate fangirl moment meeting @janeharperauthor, one of my absolute favourite authors, who won the Readers' Choice Davitt 2019 for her fantastic crime novel The Lost Man. 🤩 The YA shortlist was incredibly strong and it was an honour to see my name alongside @elliemarney, @fleurferris, @lililiwilkinson and Kate Hendrick. Thank you to @walkerbooksaus and the #LoveOzYA community, librarians, booksellers, book bloggers and reviewers for getting behind Small Spaces and ensuring it has made it into the hands of so many teen readers. And so much gratitude goes to my editor Nicola Santilli @acrophony for loving this book and championing it from the moment she read it, through publication and beyond. As Nicola's first acquisition and my debut novel, I think we did good! 😁🌟🌟 . #davittawards #davittawards2019 #davitts #yacrime #yacrimefiction #australiancrimefiction #litawards #literaryawards #crimefiction #ya #iloveya #ireadya #aussiebooks #aussieauthors #sistersincrime #JaneHarper #TheLostMan #SarahEpstein #authorsofinstagram
