June Wrap-up

Another month of reading gone,

 

 

Greetings readers,

 

So todays post is my super late June wrap-up that was originally supposed to be posted 3 weeks ago but I was doing the read-a-thon posts then and completely forgot to post this after that.

 

But as I'm in a bit of a writers block I've decided to finally do this today.

 

If you haven't encountered a wrap-up before it's basically where you list all the books you've read in a month and the star rating you'd give them.

 

The way I rate :

 

5 Stars - Could read for the rest of my life without getting bored

 

4 Stars - Excellent but slightly imperfect

 

3 Stars - Worth reading but only mediocre

 

2 Stars - Had a couple of good qualities but probably shouldn't have read it 

 

1 Star - Hate and loathe so much I could burn it

 

Here we go :

Pretty little liars #7 - Heartless by Sara Shepard 258 pages - 5 Stars

Library Lovelies and Riveting Reservations #6

Long time, No Post





Please don't kill me readers,

 

So yet again I had a bit of a blogging break but it can be easily explained - On Wednesday I had to got to a performance so I could review it for my school newspaper and On Thursday I didn't know what post to do.

 

I'm back now though and it's time for the first Library Lovelies and Riveting Reservations post of July :

 

Riveting Reservations

 

This section will be complied in to three categories - Arrived (books I reserved but are now ready to collect) , In Transit (when they've sent the book to my library but it hasn't arrived yet) and Reserved (when they've not done anything regarding my reservation).Today there's only two categories though because nothings Arrived yet.

 

In Transit

 

Sweethearts #3 - Ice Dreams by Jo Cotterill - Labelled as this on the 11th July

 

Reserved

 

Everything is fine (and other lies I tell myself) by Cathy Brett - Reserved 13th July

 

Library Lovelies

My District Library

 

Going too far by Jennifer Echols - I've been eyeing this up for months but Today I finally decided to borrow it. Heard excellent things about this author and I do want to read another book (Love Story) by this author so I hope she's good

 

The truth about my success by Dyan Sheldon - One of my favourite author's 2013 release and the plot sounds amazing. I adore books about swapping lives and indentical strangers/twins.

 

Airhead #1 by Meg Cabot - I've already got the second book in this series because my sister absoulutely loved this author when she was my age and younger. I'm really excited for it as I've wanted to read this for a while.

 

Thanks for reading this post!

Book Haul #7

Summer Lovin' Read-a-thon happened so fast, Summer Lovin' Read-a-thon oh what a blast !

Welcome to catch-up time web-users,

Today I show you all the books I've - guilty - accumulated thus far in July. This post does not include the e-books as I plan to showcase them in a separate post.

This is actually a trial new format of my book haul posts as it's quicker and easier just to take one picture. sorry if you like looking at covers though.

There's nothing more to say so let's begin :

First 6 books I got in my hometown's Age Concern last Wednesday on what was supposed to be a 5 for £1 deal but the lady at the till was super nice and let me have 6th for free instead of having to pay an extra 30p.

 

Sabrina the teenage witch #19 - Shamrock shenanigans - The title and cover of this made me laugh but I've really become a fan of Sabrina recently so didn't hesitate to snap this up.

 

Sabrina the teenage with #28 - Up, up and away - Don't really know much about the 1700's so it will be  interesting and informative to read a book set in that time period.

 

Sabrina the teenage witch #32 - Reality check - The plot of this one was partially covered in one of the graphic novels but this actually sounds like a better version of the story.

 

Sabrina the teenage witch #33 - Knock on wood - Does anyone else think of Easy A ?

 

Sabrina the teenage witch #49 - The truth hurts - Probably the most intriguing.

 

Nancy Drew #38 - The double jinx mystery by Carolyn Keene - Have been and plan on continuing to read Nancy books a lot this summer. Love these (90's) editions of the covers.

 

This next book I won in a Goodreads Giveaway so I couldn't believe it was hardcover when it arrived on Thursday. Thank you Simon and Schuster !

 

Changeling #2 - Stormbringers by Philippa Gregory - I don't read historical fiction despite my love of history and this author's supposed to be the superlative of the genre. Haven't read the first one but will try to get started on the series soon.

 

The final two books are from my Nearby District Library's book sale and they were 40p each.

 

Ouran High School Host Club #5 - Manga for sale at a cheap price is rare so even though I haven't started this series (my friend recommend it once) I bought this.

 

A year without Autumn by Liz Kessler - Interesting synopsis so I purchased it.

 

Thank you for reading this post !
