Genie's Weekly News (30)

Sunday, 26 April 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*

I'm really liking this one so far!

*Recommendation of the Week*

10112885

This was a pretty hefty book in size, but definitely worth reading. I love all the different textual forms interwoven within the story itself and how captivating it all is. The only thing I wasn't 100% sure about was the ending...review coming next week.

Thank you to Bloomsbury Australia for the review copy!

This is one of those book set in a really short period of time, which will be interesting to read.

*Other News*

  • The 100 year Anzac Day anniversary was on the 25th which is a big event to once again acknowledge the sacrifice Australian and New Zealand soldiers made at Gallipoli so many years ago. We will remember them, lest we forget.
  • School is back on which means as you can tell by the lack of blog activity here. The good news is I'm happy with my results from that big exam blog last term, but now it's well and truly back to work. I'm trying to cut down on my review pile slowly though, so hopefully there'll be more of those around here, and some discussions too.
  • My TeenCon2015 tickets finally came in the mail, it's now less than a month to go and I'm excited!
  • To celebrate 500 ratings on goodreads, author Rachael Craw has a giveaway for 5 #Spark prixe packs!



How has your week been?

  1. So excited for TeenCon! I've heard great things about Night Film, too, though I have to admit that yes, the size is putting me off quite a bit. Ha ha. Looking forward to your review, though. I've heard good things about it.

Good to hear that you're happy with your school marks, that's the best news. And I've been blogging less and less these days too thanks to work :( But real life comes first.
