*Other News*
I feel like I haven't been interacting so much on here and visiting all you other bloggers on the interwebs recently since study-mode has kicked in and half-yearly's are in the not too distant future! Finding time to read has been a bit difficult lately, but in between the mountains of notes to organise and a speech to write, I've at least gotten in a few pages here and there.

How has your week been? Any amazing books you've read lately?
I have Vanishing Girls!! I'm pretty excited because I've read 2 Lauren Oliver books now and I'm slowly liking her work better and better. XD I love her style, although Panic frustrated me, hehe. Before the Fire looks really interesting!
ReplyDeleteI really loved her Delirium series but Panic wasn't really my thing. Although - Rooms does look pretty good too. Before the Fire definitely intrigues me - I'm hoping I like it!
DeleteI totally know what you mean about having no time to read. My exams are in weeks 7 and 8, with one on Friday week 6 so eeeeek. That's really soon O_O
ReplyDeleteEeep! Though I'm sure you'll do AMAZINGLY Emily - best of luck! :)
DeleteI'm struggling to find time to read with school as well. The people who have a job on top of that just amaze me. I've heard some great things about Vanishing Girls! Hope you enjoy these :)
ReplyDeleteI know right? It's definitely a balancing act for sure. I've started Vanishing Girls and it is pretty interesting with the sibling dynamic and everything - I'm curious to see if there's a big twist at some point...
DeleteThat quote is like my life in one sentence. I could write a biography with 300 pages just dedicated to repeating that one quote over and over again, haha. Like you, I have been so bogged down with homework and studying and extracurriculars that I barely have time to read. Then if I decide to read I have to stay up late to do so, which doesn't end up well the next morning. I want it to be like when I was little and I could scarf down a whole book or two in one day because I had so much time.
ReplyDeleteHaha that's what it's like being a booklover I suppose. I too remember those 'good old days' when reading was something I could do anytime.
DeleteAww, I hope your half yearlies aren't too bad. I'm sure you'll ace them though, you're a very smart cookie :) VMars!!! I gave Alana the first book to read and she absolutely adored it. I need to find the time to read it as well :P Ugh, absolutely agree with your quote...more time needs to be made in a day for reading. I finished ACOTAR this week and I'm still reeling from its awesomeness! I hope you have a lovely week, and that school treats you well Eugenia xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words Joy :) ACOTAR is something I'm really looking forward to - I might save it for after exams as a reward. Veronica Mars is definitely worth giving a try - I just love her character!
DeleteUgh, don't worry I'm in year 12 and ALL THE THINGS ARE HAPPENING!!!! I hardly find time to read anymore. :'( I have to limit myself. Enjoy Vanishing Girls!
ReplyDeleteIt's all a matter of priorities isn't it? There's so much work to do right now, notes to write and other things to read for English that I'm afraid blogging might need to take a bit of a back seat. It'll all be worth it in the end though! (hopefully :)
DeleteBest of luck to your exams and everything Genie, that should be your first priority so we definitely understand! I haven't read the Every Move series yet but I've heard so many great things, I hope you enjoy it! Have a lovely week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeann! :) I'm going to binge-read the series (which is the perk of having all the books released) and I'm excited for it. Hope you have a lovely week :)
DeleteSending you all the luck for your exams, hun! Also, i hope you love the Every Breath series. You're in for a treat, hun!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely <33
Thanks Mel :) I've heard so many good things about it, and the Sherlock vibe sounds fantastic.
DeleteNo reading time is what inspires my blog name. Seriously. It's almost pitiful. #FirstWorldProblems
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this week, I read Cruel Beauty, which I LOVED. It was awesome! I actually haven't read any of the books in your haul but I love Lauren Oliver's writing style. I wasn't a fan of Panic but I did like Delirium!
At least you can say your blog name is definitely relatable! I've heard such good things about Cruel Beauty - it's great to hear that you enjoyed it too, I really need to check it out :) Panic didn't appeal to me much either, but like you I enjoyed the Delirium books and this new one is pretty impressive so far as well.
DeleteGreat haul of books! I read Vanishing Girls. The pacing was a bit slow, but the ending blew me away. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cynthia! I know what you mean, though I'm still finding it so addictive at the moment - I can sense something big brewing.
DeleteNice haul this week :)
ReplyDeleteI know how it can be with studying and lack of reading time, I hope you can find some time to get some leisure reading in!
- Wattle @ Whimsical Nature
Thanks Wattle :) I do hope I can find time too, though I seem to try and squeeze some in for the sake of taking a break - I need it!
