Since I’m so creative and full of blogging ideas I decided to recap my week today.
Okay, fellow Australians can relate but it was 40 degrees Celsius for pretty much the whole week. Me equals dead. And now it’s raining like that’s some sort of redemption.
I’ve lately been very obsessed with…
SCREAM QUEENS!
It’s so weird and funny and reminds me of PLL. I just started it and should soon finish the first season.
October was the month I started off in Paris, it was the month of coming back home, catching up with a pile of schoolwork and mostly refraining from bragging about the fact that I went to France. It was also a month of a huge accomplishment that you’ll find out soon enough but let’s recap.
Also, you may or may not have heard of this amazing book store called Shakespeare & Co. I kind of went there in France and spent my life savings. Obviously I hauled it. Go here
Currently Reading
Shit just started getting real in this book so wait for the review guys just you wait.
Alright guys here’s the deal, August was the least active month in terms of blogging and that’s because school and a HUGE life event (which you shall find out about this week) is about to take place.
To be honest I went into this not expecting to not like it but despite being cliche at times it was a light and fun read.
What I watched
YES I the Paper Towns movie came out and it was funny and entertaining and you can read my review here.
I haven’t been in the blogosphere this past month mostly because of school and life but this month I’m going to work on being more active on Twitter and keeping up with exciting book news
This one wasn’t as great as the others but still an interesting book about friendship and love
What I Watched
This really shouldn’t be a surprise. The Game of Thrones season finale happened and you can read my entire reaction on it here
I really don’t have anything else to say. I was absent quite a bit this month on the blog because you know, exams. But hey here are some things to look forward to in July
Again a pretty mediocre read but it made me feel like a princess
What I watched
I’ve had no time whatsoever to watch movies but I will always find time to watch Game of Thrones.
Season Five is in full swing and I’ve been reviewing every single episode. If you wanna start from the start here you go.
I’ve also been obsessed with The March Family Letters, the Youtube adaptation of Little Women. It’s so entertaining I promise. Go watch it
New on the blog
This month I launched a new feature on the blog!
Introducing Cover To Cover
Where I take a book and analyse all the different editions available in the market until I give a verdict on my favourite one.
There is currently a Cover To Cover post up here on Cinder by Marissa Meyer
That was my month of May. I could list all the ridiculous assignments I had to do but no one wants to hear about that. I hope you had a good month and here’s to an awesome sauce June!
While people were celebrating Easter and commemorating 100 Years of Gallipoli I was sitting in my bedroom and doing the following during the month of April
Books I Read
April was not a good reading month but only because I was occupied by other things which will be later mentioned in this post. Oh and just click on the book title to read my review of it…only if you want to.
Unlike anything I have ever read before. One word. Bookception
Little Women by Louis May Alcott
I just finished it today so there isn’t a review up yet but all I’m gonna is Oh My.
Exciting unrelated to books news!
So this was a bit impulsive and unexpected but you know me I love impulsive so my best friend and I launched a Youtube Channel. It’s just a place for us to get crazy and learn cool video making stuff
But if you wanna watch us be weird you’re more than welcome to!
Things I watched
Okay April was THE month for watching stuff, mostly because I had school holidays and therefore, more time.
Game of Thrones Season Five
No amount of exclamation marks can express my excitement! This was literally my face when the opening song started blaring
Oh and I’ve been reviewing every episode of course so to start from the start go here
I watched this movie during the holidays and it was hilarious!
Hannibal Season One
I’m still stuck on Season One because Hannibal is like the show I watch when I have nothing else to watch. I like the whole psychological side of it I guess.
The week has whizzed by ending my first read-a-thon for 2015!
I can say I am quite satisfied as I didn’t set crazy unrealistic goals of reading like 10 000 pages or something and just enjoyed reading without worry for once.
Books Finished:
Crown of Midnight by Sarah J Maas
Stay tuned for a review on this blog TOMORROW
Books nearly finished
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
Just one of those books you need to really take it all in. I have about 50 pages to go.
Total Pages Read: 608
That number is quite an achievement for moi because I do think I’m quite a slow reader. GO ME
What I plan on reading next:
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
About time I reckon.
How did your reading go? I hope you’re off to a great start!
As you know for the past week I participated in the booktube-a-thon.
And this is how it went down
1) I slept through all the twitter sprints
twitter sprint= this allocated time on the booktube-a-thon twitter where everyone came together and read for this collective amount of time. This was a HUGE part of the booktube-a-thon trust me. And I slept through it all
What can i say I was on school break
2) I didn’t participate in ANY of the giveaway challenges
Mind you all of them seemed so much fun but I just couldn’t find the enthusiasm to do it. I was so out of it last week.
3) But I did read and that was the whole point of the booktube-a-thon right? to read as many books as you can
I read the following:
Half Bad by Sally Green
If I stay by Gayle Forman
Where she went by Gayle Forman
However, I failed to finish my fourth book, Death note vol.1. Never read Manga before and it so much longer than I thought like a 100 chapters long. Is that normal for Mangas?
So yea, there’s my great week of reading. How was your week? I hope you were in a more uplifted mood than I was.
