      Oh no Joy don't feel bad! Thank you :) No books this time around (apparently I have too many already ;) Red Queen was brilliant for me, a refreshing dystopian for once!

    Hope you had a great day yesterday. :) I Was Here seems to have reviewers quite divided, I've seen! I really, really enjoyed it; actually, it was my first Gayle Forman novel that I can honestly say I enjoyed, as If I Stay / Where She Went wasn't really my thing. Hope you enjoy it!

      I did Kara :) I know - it seems to have gotten some mixed reviews, and I'm hoping it goes well (If I Stay didn't blow me away as such either).

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPPET <3

    How are you enjoying I Was Here so far? I actually enjoyed it, despite the few uncomfortable aspects to the romance. I LOOOOOVED Red Queen as well! Wasn't it absolutely glorious! I haven't posted up my review yet, have to wait until it's being released. It's made me start to really enjoy fantasy and reading the Throne of Glass series. It's just brilliant. Have a fabulous week of reading poppet <3

      Thanks Kelly! I'm enjoying it so far which is good :) Great to find another Red Queen fan, it really was impressive! Now I'm hoping to get to Throne of Glass since I wasn't sure if it would be for me before.

    I can't wait to hear what you think of I was here. I have that one preordered because I love Gayle Foreman!

      It does seem to be getting a mixed reception all round, that's for sure. Thanks for the birthday wishes Jeann :)
