*Reading Right Now*
The more I read of this, the more addictive it gets as the plot thickens even more! It's creepy for sure, and even more so with the news reports and website excerpts which make it seem so real. I can't wait to see what happens next - and how the mystery actually unravels...

Thank you to HarperCollins Australia for the ARC!
I am really looking forward to reading this one - it sounds so intriguing! Definitely one of my most anticipated reads of the year.

None this week, but I'll hopefully be seeing The Age of Adaline next week!

This is my last day of holidays *siiigh* It felt good to take a break from most of the studying for a while and have so much more time to read! But, it's time to accept that the hectic mountain of work that is the HSC will be well and truly back on starting Monday. Plus there's going to be the whole 'getting back marks for half-yearly's' to worry about, which I'll just have to take as it comes and keep moving forward regardless - what else can you do? Hopefully hard work pays off though.

How has your week been?
Good luck with all the work you have to do, girl! <3 At least you got The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly to keep you company--it looks awesome. :) And thanks so much for featuring two of my posts! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks Aimee :) That is definitely some consolation - I can't wait to start it!
DeleteOmg, yay for Kylie Fornasier's new book!! I heard whispers of it a while ago, but it's actually a thing! I AM EXCITED. Ooh, I hope you survive that HSC. 0_0 My little sister is doing year 11 and, the pressure is already on. Gaawwwsh. Tough stuff. ANYWHO. I'm really excited to see what everyone thinks of Minnow Bly! (I love that name.)
ReplyDeleteEven just from what she's said so far on Twitter - it sounds so promising! I love the title of Minnow Bly as well - there's something about it which just makes you want to read it.
DeleteAww I hope year 12 is going well, I'm sure you'll get great marks lovely! YAY FOR NIGHT FILM!!! How bloody good is it?!?! And soooo creepy. I can't wait to start Minnow Bly as well, eeep it sounds amazing! I watched Adaline on Wednesday, it was an ok movie. I hope you enjoy it! Have a wonderful week xx
ReplyDeleteI hope so Joy! Night Film is fantastic - I can't wait to finish it and see how it all ends. Hope you have a great week too x
DeleteYESSS I am so glad you picked up Night Film, it is SOO good and gave me a massive book hangover! How beautiful is the cover for Minnow Bly? I hope it's as good as the hype! I hope you had a lovely school holidays and made the most of it. Have a lovely week Genie!
ReplyDeleteI hope it is too Jeann - but so far it sounds like it's hitting the mark with other bloggers which is promising. I can't wait to finish Night Film, it gives me chills but it's so addictive.
DeleteTSLoMB looks so interesting - I hope you enjoy! & good luck with school! I'm going back tomorrow too. :(
ReplyDeleteMe too and thanks Rachel :) Hope you had a good first day back!
DeleteThe end of vacation is always sad. I don't think I took more than a couple of days in a row off last year, but I'm hoping to take a week this summer. Even if I don't go anywhere, it's nice to have a break.
ReplyDeleteIt is! Hope you have a good holiday Jenna - it's so good to have a break once in a while :)
DeleteMinnon Bly looks absolutely lovely Eugenia and can't wait to see what you think of it. I'm just waiting until it pops up for preorder, but that's toooooooo long a wait *le sigh*
ReplyDeleteAww, I'm glad you were able to take that well earned break over the holidays, they're never long enough are they. No doubt you'll be rewarded for all of your hard work. And you'll still have weekends for a bit of R & R. Have a fabulous week of reading poppet <3
I'm really looking forward to reading it Kelly, hope you enjoy it when you get it as well :) Holidays seem to end too quickly - but I suppose that's just something which'll never change *sigh(
DeleteHope you have a lovely week too.
Minnow Bly actually freaked me out a little because she doesn't have hands and I was like "oh that escalated quickly" however, the cover is gorgeous. I like it more than the US edition! And YES. I really want to watch Adaline soon. I LOVE Blake.

Wow okay that does sound creepy! I can't wait to see Adaline, I love historical-themed movies and tv shows so it should be good :)
