Bought, Borrowed & Bagged (51)

BB&B (Bought, Borrowed and Bagged) is a weekly meme hosted by Braine and Debbie @ Talk Supe where we share with you the books that we have bought, borrowed or bagged (won or gifted) plus a recap of the previous week's reviews, upcoming reviews, on going events and book movie or television news and The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It's a chance to share news; a post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. As you can see I've decided to link on another weekly haul/wrap up meme because I'd like to start visiting some new blogs on the atmosphere and I find meme's are the best way to do so!

News from Lauren:

Ah, lots has happened these past two weeks. I got properly accepted into University, confirmed my accommodation and been seeking out my flat mates and class mates. The one flat mate I found out that I have nothing in common with him, but the girl I found in my class and she seems pretty awesome, she said she's a slow reader but we have loads of things in common and we've already arranged to meet up for the enrolment week! 
Also I finally fixed my computer (again) and spent the last few days completely nerding out on Battlefield 3, Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas and Bastion. Ah so much fun! I'm surprised I've managed to read as much as I have.
I hope you've all had a great fortnight too!

  1. Those Kindle freebies have a way of hooking you don't they? I downloaded a lot this week too. Congrats on your acceptance into University and I hope that your flatmate situation works out! Also, woo for Skyrim! That game is beyond addicting, lol.

  6. Woohoo on being accepted for uni~!! That's awesome! I hope you and your flatmate at least enjoy each others company if you have to live together! Sometimes living with someone the complete opposite of you can be really interesting!

    Vampnesia looks really interesting, going to check that one out more! I haven't seen it anywhere else :D
