Am I back to the busy schedule that I don't even have time to breathe? Yes, my life is once again chaotic. I miss the holidays (never thought I'd say this since I'm such a Grinch). However, this was a good week for me. I can't recall the last time I read so much in a week (Bout of Books 21 surely helped).
What happened in my life this week:
What happened in my life this week:
🌻 Busy bee!
🌻 I joined Bout of Books 21 and thanks to it I already read four books this year (A Darker Shade of Magic, This Savage Song, In Frankenstein's Shadow - for my dissertation - and Always and Forever, Lara Jean). I believe this is a new record for me.
🌻 I WON A GIVEAWAY! 😀 Last Wednesday, Funko Europe hosted some flash giveaways on twitter and I won one of them. You know how addicted I'm to funkos.
🌻 My first popular Young Adult book ARC request was accepted! *happy dance* Ps. It isn't the first ARC I receive. It's the first "mainstream" ARC that I receive. Mainstream as one of those books that is so popular that you never though you would have a chance to get your hands on before its release.
LAST WEEK ON THE BLOG...
- Although I updated my blog every single day, there was only one post this week, my Bout of Books progress. In case you've joined the read-a-thon, let me know so that I can visit you blog and take a look at your progress and challenges.
📚 MINI BOOK HAUL 📚
Two weeks since 2018 began, two weeks without spending a dime on books. I'm not sure for how much longer I'll resist, but so far my bank account is safe. Nevertheless, this week I received from Netgalley To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo. SO EXCITED! I love retellings and this one has been on my list of 2018-releases-I-can't-wait-to-get-my-hands-on for a really long time. It was such a good surprise. I was really not expecting my request to be approved, but it was.
How was your week? Which books arrived to your bookshelf?
Yeah for your Twitter win. I love winning things. It makes me feel like the universe is on my side. You read some great books this week. I was happy with Always and Forever, Lara Jean. I would have loved an epilogue or the promise of a Kitty spinoff, because I really want to know how it all worked out, but I did feel like Han brought her full circle and we know what all the major players are up to.
ReplyDeleteI'm a very unlucky person, so when I win things, it's the only time that I feel like the universe is on my side. =P
DeleteI did enjoy Always and Forever, Lara Jean - I felt so happy when Jenny Han announced it. If a new book were to happen (a Kitty spinoff), Lara Jean and Peter had to be together. My hear would never survive to their break up.
Happy readings! ;)
Congratulations on your ARC acceptance! Those get me screeching like a little girl too XD. What giveaway did you win? Was it gift cards or books?
ReplyDeleteHave a great week! (Although it looks like you already did XD)
Thank you Anne. :) I won a Funko giveaway on twitter. Lots of Funko merch coming my way now.
DeleteHappy readings! ;)
Congratulations on your first YA ARC acceptance! I remember when my first ARC arrived in the mail; I was so excited that I couldn't breathe! The 15 year old me was so jittery! It only gets better from here. Hope you enjoy reading To Kill A Kingdom!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Actually, it wasn't my first ARC acceptance. I've been accepted before. However, it was the first time that my request for a popular book was accepted.
DeleteReceiving ARCs (and free books) is always so exciting!
Happy readings! ;)

Aww, thank you Amy. <3
DeleteLet's hope so - weeks shouldn't always be busy. People need time to relax (there is no good in always being stressed). Good luck going back to school. I hope all goes well.
Happy readings! ;)
By the time I remembered Bout of Books was happening, it was too late to join in. January is always so busy for me anyway.
