    I still haven't read anything by Patrick Ness, but there are a few of his books that really sound interesting. Maybe I'll get around to it soon :D

    Happy Reading!

    CONGRATS ON 101 BLOGLOVIN FOLLOWERS!! *Showers you with confetti* Small?! Pfft. HUGE. I think I flailed ecstatically for weeks when I heat 100. xD Aaaanyway. Walker Books is clearly the best. I mean, they give us chocolate and publish books like I'll Give You The Sun. :') I love that book so incredibly much.

    Congrats on getting 101 followers on bloglovin and 500 twitter followers.

    ARC and chocolate, that's so awesome.
    I saw the Lifespan of Star Light in my local bookstore and thought it sounded interesting, look forward to your thoughts on it.

    You've already hit 100 followers? WHAT! That's insane! It look me ages to reach that. It's a testament to how awesome you are, like the pied piper of books, we'll just follow you wherever you go.

    Patrick Ness! And CHOCOLATE! YES! I got confused between the two and started gnawing on my book. But it's still readable. Have a wonderful week of reading poppet <3

      Aww Kelly thank you for those kind words :) I just need a flute now or something to fulfill that properly...though I do have that old recorder from years gone by.
      Glad to hear the book is still in good shape - hope reading the chocolate was worth it ;)

    Ooh yes I cannot wait to read I'll Give You the Sun! It looks truly spectacular. And congrats on the milestone! The first 100 are always the hardest, IMO.
