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*
Something different - and fascinatingly so. It's nice to branch out of YA once in a while.

*Recommendation of the Week*
Though admittedly at the start I had my doubts about this one, by the end I was left totally captivated and wanting more. Look out for my review coming very soon!
This post has been a long time coming - though with exams once again looming the blog may be a bit quiet for the next few weeks. How has your week been?
Good luck with those upcoming exams. Thankfully the winter holidays is coming soon enough. :) Enjoy your new books--looking forward to see what you think of The Selection. I adore those books! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you Kara! The holidays are something I'm definitely looking forward to. I've heard lots about The Selection and with all the hype surrounding The Heir, I hope I do get to reading it at some point :)
DeleteWow that's a massive haul, sounds like you had a really fantastic time at TeenCon Genie and thanks for setting up books for trade AU!
ReplyDeleteI think it's probably the biggest in the shortest amount of time I've had! You're very welcome Jeann, it's great to see how it's taken off :)
DeleteNow THAT's an awesome book haul! :D
ReplyDeleteTrue! - though finding the *space* for them has been a challenge...#bookishproblems
DeleteAwesome haul of books. The 5th Wave was so good!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cynthia! I can't wait to read it :)
DeleteGood luck with those exams Eugenia, not that you'll need it you clever little cookie. No doubt you'll absolutely blitz them!
ReplyDeleteBloody hell, that's one hell of a haul! The 5th Wave series is absolutely incredible! I vote for reading those next (after you study for exams of course). I can't wait to join Books for Trade. Been cleaning out my shelves and have already cleared a few boxes of books that I can hopefully give to a new home that will enjoy them as much as I have. It's such a brilliant idea and thank you from all the Aussie bloggers for setting it up <3
Fingers crossed Kelly! I can't wait to have more time to read again, especially to get to The 5th Wave which I've heard so many good things about. Looking forward to seeing what your books to trade :)
DeleteOoh, so many awesome books! It really makes me want to find someone to trade with as well. I also was unsure about ACOTAR at first but then it really surprised me towards the middle/end and I ended up really liking it too!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do find someone to trade with Alise :) ACOTAR was such a brilliant book in the end, glad to hear you also enjoyed it!
DeleteYOUR HAUL IS SO BIG! I LOVED ACOTAR [although I've read far too many gush reviews of it omg] I'm really jealous about Dumplin' I think it's going to be a hit for me. Burn for burn was pretty good but the rest of the series fell short for me [although, I am the black sheep.]
ReplyDeleteMy Stacking the Shelves + Montly Recap here.

It is this week - lots of books coming at once! I hope Dumplin' is as good as it looks :) Thanks for the heads-up about Burn for Burn, I guess I'll just see how things go with this first book.
