Hi everyone! This last week has been a long, difficult and stressful one so I’m quite glad to see the back of it. I have had a lovely weekend though, so that makes up for the week! Hope you all had a great week!
It took me longer than expected (probably due to above mentioend stressful week) but I finally finished reading Front Lines by Michael Grant. I enjoyed this book and really adored the three leading ladies. These are not my usual sort of book but the lovely people at Egmont sent them to me so I had to give them a go. I’m currently reading Silver Stars which is the second, recently released book in the series. It’s good so far!
I did GOOD this week. I didn’t buy any books (I know!!) but I did aquire a couple of new Netgalley titles and I also added a couple of books to my ever expanding Goodreads TBR.
Here are three titles I recently got approved for on Netgalley. I’m SO looking forward to reading all three of them, they all look so fab!
I added a couple of books to my TBR this week after seeing people in the bookish community talking about them quite a lot. I’m looking forward to reading both of these at some point.
Progress is being made little by little! Every little counts and all that!

I have lots of exciting things coming up over the next month or so! I have a few concerts I’m going to which includes a trip to Manchester. I also booked my flights to NYC yesterday for April which I am SUPER excited about. Angie Thomas is also coming to the UK for an event at London Piccadilly and I am SO excited that I can go, I bought my ticket yesterday. Laini Taylor is also doing her UK tour soon and is stopping off in Cardiff for a book signing and cake, can’t wait to go to that too. Lots of things to look forward to!
Have a wonderful week!

Just a vacation, I’ll be meeting a friend there and we’re planning on doing a variety of touristy things! It’s my first time visiting the US so I’m really excited! I am beyond thrilled that I can go to Angie’s event in London, already can’t wait!

Well done for resisting the temptation to buy any more books this week! I was going to congratulate myself as well, and then I remembered I bought Heartless and Fantastic Beasts. Oops. Those Netgalley titles all have lovely covers! It sounds like you’ve got an exciting few weeks ahead (NYC, I’m so jealous!).

I’m super excited for NYC! I’ve never been to the US! Heartless and Fantastic Beasts are both worthy buys though!

Oh, I must have missed the Angie Thomas announcement! 😦 Although I’m hoping she might be doing a wider tour of the UK as I find it difficult to get to London for book events. And I really want to read all those books you got from Netgalley but I’ve told myself I can’t request anything more until I’ve read and reviewed some of the ones I’ve already got!

I probably should have done the same with Netgalley but couldn’t resist! I really do have to have a Netgalley binge soon and read the books on my shelf!!
I can’t usually get to London midweek for events but this one I can luckily and I’m so excited! I hope she does an event you can go to!

My netgalley response rate is through the floor at the moment, so I don’t think I’d get approved even if I requested them! I did well in clearing some of my netgalley shelf in January, but February there were too many other exciting things to read. 🙂

Every time I put myself on a netgalley ban they add a title I cannot resist!

I don’t normally read contemporary but I’m so looking forward to Noteworthy. You’re doing way better on your challenges than I am on mine. I need to greet a wriggle on!

I didn’t until this year but a few excellent ones have made me more keen to explore the genre in YA!
