Welcome, book lover.

author Elle Kirkpatrick

I’m Elle, a writer from Australia. I packed up my bags and left for London 3 years ago. Since then, I’ve travelled around Europe, written a novel, moved to Germany, and drunk a lot of coffee.

You know I’m the biggest fan of Markus Zusak’s Book Thief, so when I heard he’d FINALLY written a new book (only 10 years later) I had to get my hands on it immediately. 🌻 I was still in school when I read The Book Thief (I remember borrowing it from the library), and now, 10 years later I’m living in the country where it’s set. And now I finally get to read his latest novel, which is set back home. 🌻 I’ve read about 150 pages so far and I’ve already bawled my eyes out twice. Yeah, apparently Zusak still has that power over me. I am in awe of how he can pour pure emotion into narratives about the lives of regular people. 🌻 Now I’m off to go read/cry some more, so wish me luck. I’m betting it’s not going to be the happiest of endings, whichever way it goes...
One more from summer, because this weekend it feels like it’s coming back 🌸🌻🌞 Snap by @solmariathomas
October evenings in Berlin 💕
From this distance everything is so bloody perfect.
This is my face when I just finished uploading FIFTY-EIGHT (58) chapters of my novel, Brew Books, after editing the entire goddam novel this past summer. It’s taken me months, with the team @wattpad and @fictionary_app, working through my words to make them right. ✨ Now my novel is all complete, ready for the next steps in the Wattpad journey! But until then, you can read it right now, online, for free. You can find the link through my website in my bio, of course! ✨ It’s a mostly light-hearted, fun and cute, new adult contemporary about seven young people in London working in a café/bookstore, and living in two flats above the store. They deal with all the usual antics of working and living together, as well as one mystery - of their ex-flatmate who has disappeared. ✨ I’d love it if you all would check it out and let me know what you think! And I can’t wait to reveal what’s happening next. 🍂 As always, this magical snap by @solmariathomas ✨

First day of Autumn 🍁🍂 Spending a cosy day tucked up inside with books and writing ✨ I’m almost finished Didion’s #SlouchingTowardsBethlehem and next I’ll pick up Ayòbámi Adébáyò’s #StayWithMe 🍂 What are you reading this weekend loves?
Just posted a pretty exciting bookish update in my insta stories in case you’re interested in my writing life! 📚 This is probably my favourite and also most ME photo that @solmariathomas has ever taken! It just sums up my personality perfectly... surrounded by books! 📚 This is in Saint George’s English Bookstore in Berlin which is my second home basically hehe
