*Other News*
I've been getting in touch with my creative side lately and been creating some bookish quote graphics for some of my favourites this year! I'm feeling inspired, so the next step will be to add some bookish decor to my room.
I've got my fingers crossed for I Was Here! I got the confirmation email but not the book.... 0.0 So maybe it's just stuck in the mail somewhere?! NYE is always weird for postage right?! YAAAAY FOR A GOOD WEEK THOUGH!
ReplyDeleteYour bookish graphics are amazing!
Mail is always slower at this time of the year I think - hope you get it soon Cait, it certainly looks amazing :)
DeleteI hope you like I Was Here! I devoured that book in a few hours; I absolutely loved it. Your book quote graphics are AMAZING! Also, I'm really really looking forward to In the Afterlight! I've read and loved the other books in the series and I've heard such great things about the third. I'm really interested to see how it concludes. :) Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteThat definitely makes I Was Here sound promising Kara, I'll definitely be looking out for your review :) In The Afterlight is really good, I'm happy to say!
DeleteOOOH LOOK AT ALL THOSE PRETTY GRAPHICS! That's a good way to be spending the holiday break!
ReplyDeleteI have my fingers crossed for I Was Here as well. In fact, I've just got to find some time for it. TIME ORGANISING IS HARD.
Have a good week, my dear! <3 x
Since I have more time now than I will in a while, I thought I may as well get creative! Even in holidays though finding time for things can be a struggle - there's so much I want to do. Hope you have a good week too Jess :)
DeleteSO WANT TO READ I WAS HERE. IT LOOKS EXCELLENT.
ReplyDeleteOh and those graphics <3 <3 <3 They're so beautiful. Your creative side is much better than mine :P
Aw thanks Emily <3 I'm by no means an expert in the graphic design department, but it is fun experimenting with some things.
DeleteI love your quote graphics Eugenia, they're super gorgeous!! And I'm so glad you joined up for the I Was Here campaign, can't wait to hear what you think about the book! Eeeep can't believe it's almost 2015, where has the time gone?!?!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them Joy! I'm definitely getting to I Was Here sooner rather than later, it looks like it's going to be good (but sad). I know what you mean - gosh this year has passed quickly!
DeleteWow! I love those book graphic pictures! They are so awesome, fitting in with the covers and everything! :O :D YOu should be a professional! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post! And enjoy The Wild Girl, I've heard Kate Forsyth is really good but alas I'm yet to read her books.
Thanks Renee :) Kate Forsyth is definitely a great author to check out if you like historical fiction mixed in with a fairytale-retelling sort of thing.
DeleteThose graphics look amazing! I've already saved Dangerous Girls and Spark, and I can't wait to see what others you make :) I definitely need to read the Darkest Minds series ASAP, I've heard so many great things about it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gina! The Darkest Minds is fantastic, hope you get to reading it soon :)
