So in seeing this post, you may well be thinking:
Well, it definitely hasn't been a week since my last wrap-up like this, but it's good to be back! While settling into a new routine with uni starting and life being busy in general, I know that this blog has taken a back seat a little. However, I have missed posting here, and want to be more active on the blogosphere in general again. I'll be doing my best :)
*Reading Right Now*
It's they type of psychological thriller where at the moment I can see that there's something definitely brewing in terms of the suspense, but it hasn't it the 'creepy' stage yet. That being said, I'm pretty hooked and want to see what happens next.
*Recommendation of the Week*
I loved Gone Girl, and since I've heard good things about this one I thought I'd give it a try. Although perturbing and unflinching insight into a macabre situation, it is still compulsively readable and definitely worth checking out if you're a thriller fan.

Thanks so much to HarperCollins Australia for these review copies!
The Passion of Dolssa by Julie Berry - Historical fiction is one of my favourite genres and apparently Julie Berry's first novel All The Truth That's In Me was a big hit, so I'm excited for this one.

ReplyDeleteAlso, loving the rebranding of the Aus YA Bloggers :D
