Weekly Recap: An Awesome Week for Book Mail!

I'm actually super proud of myself right now, I am still going strong with this being back at blogging business! GO ME! This has been a struggle for me in the past as I kept getting in to huge blogging slumps, but I am really loving it right now and finding time to do it on top of everything else. This week has been a brilliant mail week, mostly because pay day happened and I bought a bunch of books for myself.

I also had the most amazing email and book mail from Hodder! They sent out a few advanced copies of Morning Star by Pierce Brown and I got one. Not only that, they also sent out invites to an exlusive party at their offices for Pierce.... AND I GOT ONE! Most of you won't even realise how much I freaked out at this. I can't even describe how bloody giddy I got. I am soooo excited. Red Rising is one of my favourite series and I am so excited to finish it. I am also excited/super nervous to meet Pierce Brown.


Other than that it has just been work, work, work and then more work. Plus getting sick,... again! It's actually a joke how ill I keep getting. I manage to shake off one illness and then immediately get something else. It's like a running joke at work, except it's not funny. I feel like I am dying!

Truthwitch by Susan Dennard, Passenger by Alexandra Bracken, In the Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken & A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

I am so excited for all of these books. Although, to be fair, I need to read the first two books in the Darkest Minds series before I can get to book three. I will do it! Truthwitch looks amazing so I had to get my hands on the US hardback, mostly because it is a whole lot prettier than the UK cover. Passenger has time travel and that just sold me on it straight away! A Darker Shade of Magic is apparently amazing, so I bought that and pre-ordered myself the sequel... I am prepared for a binge read session.

Never Never Part 3 by Colleen Hoover & Tarryn Fisher, Fuck Love by Tarryn Fisher, Every Word by Ellie Marney & Fairest by Marissa Meyer

I've already read Never Never part 3 and I actually really enjoyed it. It helps that I read all the 1 star reviews and spoilers for it, as it was getting a lot of negative reviews. Knowing all the spoilers was good as I wasn't surprised by it. Plus, my expectations were so spectacularly low that I actually ended up pleasantly surprised. Fuck Love is supposed to be really good, so I thought I would give that one a go. I bought Every Word and pre-ordered the final book (not out here yet! >.<) so that I can binge read this whole series. Same for Fairest.... I plan to binge read it and so I pre-ordered Stars Above as well. 

Morning Star by Pierce Brown & The Square Root of Summer by Harriet Reuter Hapgood

MORNING STAR!!! MORNING STAR!!!! MORNING STAR!!! I am a hyperventilating mess of a person right now. I am not prepared for this book. Pierce Brown is going to harm my soul, I can tell!!! But, at least now I can meet him and rant at him if he kills my poor baby Sevro! The Square Root of Summer looks so good, I am so excited for this one. I have far too many reads I am desperate to read. I need infinite hours in a day.

I reached 4,000 followers on Instagram and so decided to hold a giveaway. It finishes on the 10th of February and you can find it here.
