(Long overdue) 

Firstly, I bought: 
Summer of Skinny Dipping - Amanda Howells
This is a really good book, and to say I was surprised by it was an understatement. I will say no more...




















You Against Me - Jenny Downham 

This was defiantly a good book and I found myself relating to the characters quite a lot. The only thing that bothered me about this book was the ending; I felt as if it wasn't complete. Sadly,I still had questions unanswered . 

Butterface- Gwen Hayes 
When I bought this book I didn't realise that it was a short story. It wasn't until I looked at my progress bar on my kindle and saw that I had read three quarters of the book in almost no time at all. If I'm honest, this put me off straight away. I don't like putting any negative reviews out there, but I find they always help when deciding whether or not to buy a book. On the whole I felt this book was a bit of a disappointment. I felt it had the potential to be a good story, but it was far too rushed and therefore it felt  clichéd. 

Looking For Alaska - John Green

Having not yet read this book, no spoilers please. I've heard so MANY good things about this book and really can't wait to read it. 






















I also received my first giveaway win in August, which I am VERY late mentioning. (sooorry)
So thank you so much to Danielle- here is her awesome blog Frenzy of Noise
She sent me a signed copy of City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare

I ordered some more books the other day, so if they come in time I should be doing another IMM pretty soon! Happy reading everybody :')
P.s If anyone can help me to get rid of all the spaces on the post I would be very grateful. They don't show up until I publish it :/  

Sorry for the delay.

Okay, so I keep telling myself that I'm going to do more to my blog, unfortunately this week it did not happen sorry.
This is where I was...

But in reality it looked a bit more like this...

And I just so happened to bump into this strange bean :)
A very creepy coincidence indeed. Fancy meeting you here. 

 Well yes, anyway, that is my excuse for this weeks absence. I was on holiday in Menorca with my family :) (Where I just so happened to meet my best friend :O) 
While I was there I read 4 books, so I will post about those in a little while. 
I'll try and keep you posted.

This week I bought: 

Going Too Far - Jennifer Echols
I've wanted to read this book for a while, and after reading a sample of it on my kindle I decided it was a must have. 

The other book I got was:
The Lying Game - Sara Shepard 

Let me know if you've read either of the books, and if so, what did you think of them? 

Oh Harry Potter :')

No words can describe the new Harry Potter film. I'm not going to give any spoilers, just if you haven't seen it yet- why are you still here?!Go.Now. 

Anyways now that I've seen it, I can finally read the books. I know to some people it may seem like a crime that I haven't already read them, but I grew up with the films. I didn't want to read the books when I saw all of the films not knowing what was going to happen. I hope that makes sense to some people. Tradition or whatever you want to call it.

Anyways I'm off to see it again tomorrow with my friends, this time in 3D. Haha, I can't wait. Opinions of the film everybody?

I got my first RAK this month, and if you don't know what this is then head over to here! :)

I was kindly sent: 

The Boyfriend List by e.lockhart 

My friend recommended this book to me, and said it HAD to be read. So I'm excited to read this and it is definitely going to the top of my tbr pile :) 


Thank you so much to Stephanie from http://stephlikesbooks.blogspot.com/ for sending me it :') 

Waiting on Wednesday (1)

Bloodlines by Richelle Mead 


Release date: 
August 23, 2011


Description: 
BLOOD DOESN'T LIE. Sydney is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives. When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir - the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir - is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding. To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill's guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the last place anyone would think to look for vampire royalty - a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. But instead of finding safety at Amberwood Prep, Sydney discovers the drama is only just beginning...

What are you waiting for?

I bought:

Passion by Lauren Kate

Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini

My mum also happened to meet the author Anne Watts, who was lovely by the way, and so she got me a signed copy which Anne wants me to review :') eeep.

I love this :) ^

Basically that's it :D A few weeks ago I bought Anna And The French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins which I had very high expectations for, and of course I wasn't disappointed. It's a fantastic book and Stephanie Perkins' writing is amazing :)
