Genie's Weekly News (54) - New contemporary novels, concerts and reading out of my comfort zone

Sunday 18 December 2016


As Christmas inches closer bookstores get busier than ever, and of course my book hauls get even larger than usual (but more on that next week!). For now, here's some other updates:

Stunning cover and the story is beginning to match it! 

Recommendation of the Week


I finally understand why this book is such a popular 'cult classic' - once again reading out of my comfort zone with some Chuck Palahniuk, but it was definitely worth it.

Book Haul


Stay tuned for my Christmas book haul next week, but for now I have two titles which I'm really excited for! Thanks again to my #AusYA Secret Santa for It Ends With Us.




What I've Been Watching


I'd always heard good things about Poldark, but hadn't started watching it until now. I'm so glad that I finally have though as I loved the first series and can't wait to begin the second! Also, if there's any other historical dramas out there you'd recommend, let me know.


Other Updates

I was lucky enough to see Coldplay live on Tuesday and they were (as expected) AMAZING. The amount of energy they have on stage and the design of the production itself made for a fantastic night. I'd definitely see them again!

    As for my christmas, I'm looking forward to sitting down and doing nothing!! I've been pulling 11-12 hours days for uni for the past month so it's nice to be able to relax haha
