Making Up for Monday #5
This is a meme hosted by An Avid Reader, A Wannabe Writer. Every week there is a theme or game, or something fun to do that week. This week’s question: Which book would you like most for Christmas? I know this question says which book, but I’m going to cheat slightly and say a collection of books. My Harry Potter books are extremely tattered, they were the one’s I bought when they were first published, and they have been read and carried around a lot, and they’ve looked better. This is my favourite box set of the Harry Potter novels that have ever been released. I’ve no idea if it’s still possible to buy…

Kindle Kandy #1
Kindle Kandy is a Friday weekly bookish feature hosted at The Book Dame. We scan our shelves and ereaders to rediscover books that we own but have not read, to this point little more than shelf or Kindle Kandy. To many books and too little time and all that jazz. This looked like a great idea for a feature, and I am very guilty for buying loads of books on Kindle, (especially if they’re on offer!!) and then forgetting I own them. This looked like a fun way of discovering those books that I’d forgotten about. Charles Dickens created some of the most memorable characters in English literature and was…

This Week in Books 24.06.15
This is a weekly meme hosted by Lipsyy Lost & Found in which we can share what we’re reading, now, then and next! Now A Game of Thrones– George R.R Martin I have quite a few books on the go at the moment, but this was the one I was reading most recently. This is a re-read for me, I’m hoping to get through the whole series, fingers crossed!! Then The Elite- Keira Cass I read this book at the end of May, but I’ve not finished any other books since, so this is my most recently read book! It was really good though, and I recently received the third book,…

Making Up For Monday #1
This is a meme hosted by An Avid Reader, A Wannabe Writer. Every week there is a theme or game, or something fun to do that week. This weeks question is: What do you do if someone you love recommends a book and you end up hating it? This is a good question, this has happened to me a few times, and I definitely believe that honesty is the best policy. There’s no point trying to lie to someone about how much you enjoyed a book, because if they enjoyed the book that much they’ll be able to see straight through you!! I was recommended a number of books by people which…

Super Six Sunday-Super Six Books That I Can’t Stop Thinking About (For Better or For Worse)
Super Six Sunday is a weekly meme hosted by Bewitched Bookworms. Every week they pick a topic and we post our top six in that topic. I found this meme and it sounded cool, so I’m going to try it! This weeks topic is Super Six Books That I Can’t Stop Thinking About (For Better or For Worse) 1. Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane This is one of my favourite crime/thriller novels I have ever read. Equal parts creepy and mystery, and with one of the best twists in the end, I thought about how good this book was for a long time after I read it. 2. Burn by Julianna Baggott This is…
