This is my first non wrap up Monday post all month! Not as much reading last week but my week was eventful!
I got stuck at the train station for two hours until my Grandpa graciously came to my rescue- we then took over an hour to drive a fifteen minute journey due to traffic! A nightmare made worse by the fact I had nothing to read as my phone (kindle app) had died on the train!
I went to see Wedding Video- funny film but I wasn't keen on the ending.
Other posts!
Discussion post- Stand Alones Vs Series- New kind of post which I finally got round to posting. Go check it out and let me know your thoughts!
Top Ten Books I've read- This one is pretty interesting as it really made me think about the books I've read during this blog and which ones will stand the test of time.
Read!
I got so many comment on this beautiful cover last week- the book inside definitely lives up it! I probably should of read Callum and Harper first as I did get a little confused but I loved it all the same!
Reading
So far so good- this is the only dystopia book I picked up myself without hearing anything about it so I'm glad it's proving a good read!
To Be Read
I did start this one last week but I think it was a bit too heavy after my contemporary readathon so I'm hoping to pick it up again soon!
Upcoming Reviews
You may have noticed a lack of reviews- I have been invited on a last minute long holiday in September so I am stockpiling reviews so this blog can be updated regularly while I'm gone!
I will post at least one review this week tho.
Upcoming Posts
Goodreads- I've been trying to get more involved in the social side of blogging so I might do a post on that!
I've also been thinking about doing a post clarifying my position on reviews and books in general- maybe a what I do if I don't like a book/why my reviews always seem positive?
Any opinions/feedback on my upcoming posts is always welcomed- how else will I know what people want to see!
Let me know what you've been up to blog or life wise!
Much Love
Lettie

I haven't read Across the Universe yet (but it is sitting on my bookshelf!) but I have heard great things about it. I hope you enjoy it and have a fantastic vacation in September!!!

Sounds like your week was a busy and crazy one! Hope this one goes better and many good reads come your way!
ReplyDeleteI now have last minute holiday packing and planning to do! So hopefully I can round up some books for my journey :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Under the Never Sky sounds good. I already have Across the Universe on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book this week was Ottoline at Sea by Chris Riddell. Please come see what I'm reading now.
It is very easy to read which is always a plus!
DeleteI like your idea of having a favourite book each week- might try that out!
Thanks for stopping by!
Ack, stuck anywhere without something to read is the stuff of nightmares :(
ReplyDeleteI need to look up that Thomas & January book, I take it that it's a series?
(following you on twitter!)
It was unexpected and avoidable which made it worse- hopefully it doesnt happen again!
DeleteYes it is part of the Sleepless Series- it's more of a related stand alone series but I would reccommend starting with Callum and Harper. I definitely got a bit confused at times!
Thanks for stopping by and following me on twitter!
Once twitter decided to let me know I will follow you back :)
I'm not good about reading series out of order so I requested Callum & Harper at the library. Glad you enjoyed Thomas & January though. It means I have something to look forward to. =)
ReplyDeleteI love discussion posts. A post on how you handle books you don't enjoy sounds great.
Happy Reading!
I've done it twice recently, once accidentally and it is annoying! I would definitely reccommend Callum and Harper first.
DeleteI'm glad you like the sound of it! I'm hoping to post it before my holiday so I'm around to reply to comments :)
Thanks for stopping by!
I need to stockpile a few reviews for October by right now I am I can't quite get ahead enough
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reading week!

I have been trying to read Under the Never Sky for awhile now and can't seem to get to it! Haven't heard of Thomas and January - but am going to go take a look at it.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Kristi @ Books and Needlepoint

DeleteI would reccommend it!
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow! I love Thomas and January's cover and is well deserved of a beautiful cover you had last week.

Thomas and January does have a great cover. I hadn't heard of that author before. Both of her books in this series sound good. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThe cover is what drew me in intially!
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
I added Thomas and January but then saw there is a book before so I added that one. Very fun covers, colorful and busy but at the same time they seem thoughtful. :)
