Wrap-Up: April 2014


 


Hey book nerds! :D How are you all doing? I'm bringing you today my April Wrap-Up (if you hadn't already guessed!). I only read 5 books last month, which is one book short of what I've been reading the previous months - but oh well! :) I really loved all of the books I read in April, they were fantastic. ^.^ As for my current reading, I've already finished one book this month, The Forever Song by Julie Kagawa. And oh my gosh, what an incredible book! I can't believe the trilogy is over, it's so sad! D: I feel a sudden urge just to re-read the first two books... ^^; I'm going to be posting my review of The Forever Song within the next few days, so stay tuned for that. :) That's it for today, I hope you're all enjoying what you're reading at the moment, and I'll talk to you guys again soon! ^.^

April 2014 Book Haul


 


Hey book nerds! :D Today I am bringing all of you the BIGGEST book haul I have ever done! :) It consists of over 70 books!! :3 Yikes! So, go and get a snack or something to drink and sit down, ‘cause this will be a long video and I'm going to try and do this as quickly as possible. ;) I've spent over two hours creating this post, from uploading the photos and inserting this in the post to finding the GoodReads links and copying the titles and authors. So I hope you all appreciate it! :P I wanted to try and get some more filming done over the last few days, but unfortunately I've come down with a cold (along with the rest of my family!), so I've really not been up to much apart from sitting around in woolly jumpers and watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I brought myself the complete box set as a birthday present to myself).


As for my reading, I finally finished reading Throne of Glass the other evening, and I REALLY loved it! It took me quite a while to get into it, and I think I was actually reading it for two weeks, mostly because I only read a chapter or two a day. But once I got into it, I flew through it and I gave it 5 stars - I can see what everyone has been raving about! :) At the moment I'm reading A Kiss in the Dark by Cat Clarke; I started it last night, and I couldn't put it down - I'm already half way through - and I'm really loving it! :3 Anyway, that's it for today, enjoy the haul and video and I'll talk to you guys again soon. ^.^

Thoughts


I honestly really don't know where to start with these books. There are just so many and I'm just so excited for every single one of them!! I've been buying a lot of sequels recently, even though I've not yet read the first books in the series/trilogies (well, mostly) - I know it's a bad idea, but they just look so pretty together on my shelves! I love seeing series lined up together. :) Anyone else have a thing for it? I'm SUPER excited to finally have my hands on a copy of The Forever Song, the first two books in the trilogy were incredible, and are two of my favourite books, and I can't wait to see what happens in the conclusion. :3 I'm also thinking that I might bump up a few of these in my TBR list, including Cruel Beauty and Panic - just because I've heard some awesome things about them both! :D Have you read any of these books? Let me know! ^.^

Birthday 2014 Book Haul


 


Hey book nerds! ^.^ Today I'm finally bringing you my Birthday Book Haul. :D It was my 21st birthday on the 15th April, and not only did I have a great day - I got some really awesome books! I know you're all probably wondering why my parents allowed me to purchase more books, so I'll tell you. I couldn't come up with a large, special present for my parents to get me for my birthday because it's a special one. So, my mum agreed to let me have a small number of books, among a few other bits and bobs. Mostly I just got DVDs, makeup and a few trinkets. :) So yeah, that's pretty much it. I hope you'll all enjoy this special edition book haul; I'm really excited about all of the titles I got! ^.^ I'll also be posting my April 2014 Book Haul within the next few weeks, I just need to get around to editing it and what not. Enjoy!

Thoughts


The amount of excitement I have for all of these books is off the charts! :D They all look absolutely bloody fantastic, and I really can't wait to read them all. :3 I really can't decide which one to read first... they're all just so pretty! I think I may be swaying towards either reading; Truly, Madly, Deadly, The Coldest Girl in Coldtown or Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. I've just heard some amazing things about all three of them, and I've wanted to read them even before they were released! :) Have you read any of these books? Let me know! :) And if you have a preference on which you think I should read first, also let me know! ^.^
