Welcome all Bookworms to our book review blog

Welcome, fellow bookworms and lovers of all things literary, to the Soapie Mai Designs Book Nook!

I'm Stacey, the creative heart behind Soapie Mai Designs – where my passion for crafting unique, handmade treasures intertwines beautifully with my deep-seated love for getting lost within the pages of a captivating book. And let me tell you, my reading tastes lean towards the deliciously dark and intensely romantic!

As a mum to two wonderful (and often energetic!) girls here in Wanneroo, Western Australia, finding those precious moments to escape into a thrilling narrative is a cherished ritual. It's within those stolen hours that I've discovered a vibrant and incredibly talented community of independent authors, particularly right here in our own stunning country, Australia.

This book blog is born from a desire to share that discovery with you. While I have a particular fondness for the shadowy allure and passionate intensity of dark romance novels, you'll find a diverse range of genres gracing these virtual pages. However, my primary focus, and my genuine excitement, lies in shining a spotlight on the exceptional work of Australian indie authors.

Why the focus on local talent? Because I believe there's a wealth of compelling storytelling, unique perspectives, and raw creativity brewing within our indie publishing scene. These authors pour their hearts and souls into their craft, often navigating the publishing world with incredible dedication and resilience. It's an honour to be able to offer a platform to their voices and help connect their stories with eager readers like you.

So, what can you expect from the Soapie Mai Designs Book Nook?

You'll find in-depth and honest reviews, exploring everything from intricate plotlines and compelling character development to the atmospheric world-building and emotional impact of each book. I'll share my personal thoughts and feelings, always keeping in mind what fellow avid readers are looking for in their next literary escape.

While my heart beats a little faster for a well-crafted dark romance, I promise to venture into other genres that capture my attention and that I believe deserve recognition. My aim is to provide a diverse and engaging reading list, with a strong emphasis on the incredible stories being penned by Australian indie authors.

Think of this as your go-to space for discovering your next favourite read, supporting talented local writers, and connecting with a community of like-minded book enthusiasts.

So, grab a cuppa (or a glass of wine, depending on the time!), get comfortable, and join me on this exciting literary journey through the captivating worlds created by Australian indie authors.

I'm thrilled to have you here, and I can't wait to share the magic of these books with you!

Happy reading!
