Genie's Weekly News (26)

Sunday, 15 March 2015


Hi everyone and welcome to my weekly blog feature to recap the week with bookish news and what to expect coming up! So without further ado...

*Reading Right Now*

Yep, still going - I've been having to read books for school in between but I am getting there I promise!

*Previous Posts*

*Recommendation of the Week*

Look out for my review next week - Ginger Scott has done it again!

*From The Interwebs*


*Haul*


*Movie Reactions*



To take a break from study my mum and I went out for dinner and a movie quite spontaneously, but it was good to do something different. I have to say Kingsman was quite different from what I expected, and there were a few 'what just happened' moments, but it's a movie that can't really be taken too seriously. 

*Other News*

Since half-yearly's are imminent, I'll be taking a mini hiatus for a few weeks just so I can focus on that. There may be a few reviews here and there and other posts, but for the most part it's going to be pretty quiet around here. However, I should be back in full swing by 1st April when all my exams are over and it's holiday time!




On another note: Aussies don't forget to enter the giveaway for the entire three books of the 'Every' series! (click the image to go to the post)

  1. Best of luck for your exams Genie, I'm sure you will do fine and a great idea to take a mini hiatus from here. I've heard so much about the Every Word series, I definitely need to pick it up!

  4. Ooh, good luck with exams! My sister is nearly up to them too, so I'm guessing there'll be stress and chocolate in abundance at my house. (I'll participate in the chocolate...not the exams/stress. HA.) XD
    Awesomely fabulous stack of books! I'm really curious to see what everyone thinks of We All Looked Up!

    1. It is good! It sort of has some country elements, but more of a general contemporary overall.

  6. Oh wow so many people are like READ EVERY BREATH EVERY WORD AND EVERY MOVE and I'm like
    ...but homework!!! I'm still reading Throne of Glass like you all wanted! (which by the way, is awesome. I can't wait to be at home and continue reading!)
    The Kingsman looks interesting, but again I don't have much time due to year 12 homework. ONLY 8 MONTHS MORE RENEE YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
    Enjoy your book haul and thanks for sharing Eugenia!!! xoxo

    1. I know EXACTLY how you feel Renee - homework/study is taking over so much of my reading time!
      I guess soon it'll all be over and we'll have those few months of holiday bliss *counts down the days*
      Thanks for stopping by Renee :)

  8. Kingsman was crazy! We took a 2 1/2 hour drive to the coast in the afternoon, got there, unpacked, and went to the ten o'clock. Part of the fam fell asleep, and even though I was awake, I feel like I missed a few things! (Late night movies = bad idea after traveling!) Definitely want to watch it again, but wow was it hard to take SLJ serious with that lisp! LOL!

    Also: I love your photo! The blurry effect all around is so perty... makes the spines stand right out! (At first I did a typo and it said, "makes the spies stand right out". Can we say Kingsman? HA!)

    1. That is a lot of effort to watch a movie, and yep it was pretty crazy (and I know what you mean about that lisp - if it wasn't for all the bad stuff he did it would be hard to take him seriously!)

      Glad you like the photo, lol that Kingsman reference worked (it must be coming from your subconscious or something) :)
