June Wrap-Up.

Well another month comes again and once again I was a terrible blogger. *Hangs head in shame* But it was a rather successful month, I read a grand total of five books! I’m still really behind on my aim to read 80 books but I’m hoping I’m getting back on track! The first book I read this month was Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne. This was a really cute collection of stories and I was so pleased…

June TBR

Hey guys, I am back once again with another blog post. I feel like I’ve blogged more in the last week than I did in the entire month of April – I’m really bad at this sometimes aren’t I? – Moving on though, this post is all about the books I plan to read in June (stress: plan) so lets jump right into it. First up is Graceling. I started reading this book in May and I got through half of it in…

April and May Wrap Up!

Once again it is a two-in-one post. Much like my book haul I didn’t get to do an April wrap-up so once again I am combining with May! In the months of April and May I read a grand total of nine books! (and several dozen papers on the effect of advertising but no one wants to hear about that.) The first book I read was Weightless by Sarah Bannan. This book is about a new girl who moved to a small…

April & May Book Haul

April & May Book Haul

Long time no book haul! I have been really busy for the apart few months so even though I bought some books in April when I was in London I didn’t get a chance to haul them! So, instead of having a book haul mid-May I thought why not wait and combine my April and May book hauls? And here it is! I bought a good few books (some Children’s and Fantasy) in the last two months so lets just get right…

Let's Talk: Shadowhunters Casting News

So, as some of you may know, I am a big fan of the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare so when they announced that it was being adapted into a film I was so freaking excited! I went to see it on the first day it came out and, well, it wasn’t the best and thats putting it kindly. Still, a second film was in the pipeline so I was hopefully that the mistakes of the first one would be…
