| Thank you to Bloomsbury, Simon and Schuster and Jen @ YA Romantics for these books! |
- The Winner's Crime by Marie Rutkoski - Yay for more Kestrel and Arin! I can't wait to start this.
- Year of Mistaken Discoveries by Eileen Cook - This sounds like a touching contemporary which I'm looking forward to reading.
- What I Thought Was True by Huntley Fitzpatrick - I won this and since I love a good contemporary romance and heard great things about the author, I definitely can't wait to dive into this one.
*Other News*
- On Saturday morning I volunteered at the St Vincent de Paul Brekky Van, providing breakfast to the homeless. Although it meant a really early start, it was ultimately a rewarding experience which does help the community, and I'd love to do it again.
- 'Finding Nemo' was on last night and I remember just how much I loved it - it brought back so many good memories as my favourite movie from my childhood. Not only do I now pick up those hilarious one-liners, but I also found some great pieces of advice which will come in handy for me now as the workload of the HSC continues:
On that note - how has your week been?
YAY HAVE FUN BINGE-READING. It's such a great series <3 Ooooh volunteering, sounds awesome. I do Breakfast Club giving brekky to the primary school kids next door to our school, and it's so great :D Oh and Harry Potter was on TV last night so I watched that. But yay Finding nemo!!
ReplyDeleteHaha I will! Doing that Breakfast Club activity sounds like a great way to contribute to the community. I was trying to watch HP in the commercial breaks, it's not like I could bear missing all of it lol :)
DeleteCynthia Hand gets a great amount of positive reviews from what I've seen so I would love to be able to read The Last Time We Say Goodbye!
ReplyDeleteI really love the idea of volunteering. In my school, it's compulsary to volunteer but I think it's an amazing opportunity anyway <3

I do hope you get to reading it - it's a really moving read. It's great that your school has compulsory volunteering, we should all do it if we can!
DeleteGreat haul of books! Man I loved Finding Nemo. Such a good movie. That is great that you volunteered to feed the homeless. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Cynthia :) Finding Nemo is one of those movies that I just can't help but still love every time I watch it.
DeleteI NEED NEED NEED TO READ ELLIE MARNEY'S BOOKS. In fact. I think I'm going to just read Every Breathe this week because everyone swears by it and I own it because I won it and WHY AM I PROCRASTINATING?! I love Sherlock. <3
ReplyDeleteYes Cait, you do! I'm just finishing the first one now and I'm loving it. Hope you like them too :)
DeleteTHE EVERY SERIES HAVE FUN! It's one of my favourites! Volunteering? You're an absolute gem of a citizen!
ReplyDeleteThat's good to hear Jess - it makes me even more excited to get onto the other books in the series!
DeleteGood luck with your binge read Genie, lots of people are loving that series and sooner it gets itself over to the UK more, the better I say, I can't wait to try it myself! The Last Time We Say Goodbye has gotten a lot of love, so I'm keeping a beady eye out from now, if I see a good copy, I might buy it.. Great week, good luck for next! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda, I hope it gets to you soon so you can experience just how good it is! Hope you have a great week too :)
DeleteFinding Nemo is THE BEST. I adored that movie as a kid--and I still love it. :) Glad to see you're enjoying Every Breath. I love love love those books. With the third and final book coming out it's great to see more and more people reading them. :D
ReplyDeleteIt's just one of those movies that transcends time isn't it? It suits all ages. I'm so glad I've finally gotten to reading them!
DeleteThat's so wonderful of you for volunteering Genie! I've heard great things about the Every series, hope you're enjoying it so far, I need to read it. Thank you for sharing my post too!
