New Books

I've just given up doing this weekly or fortnightly because I'm being super great and not getting books, or many. So just going to keep posting these whenever I have a few books. After reading an ecopy of Unwind and loving it so much, I ordered myself the full dystology with the prettiest covers. I also got The Rift Uprising and We Awaken for review!

 

This year so far

I really don't know where this year has gone. How are we already a few days into July?

These past 6 months have been very busy for me, I've finished up studying Illustration at university, fully cleaned my flat and moved back home, and I've applied for jobs and had interviews (nothing successful yet).

On the more fun side of things I've read a bunch of great books and made some great friends on my Discord book chat. I've celebrated a year in a long distance relationship and we've had some fun trips out together which have been great. And lastly, I've played some really cool video games - I'm toying with the idea of sharing some min reviews of them here.

New Books

I did so well last fortnight and you all congratulated me and here I am to say I'm sorry to have let you down because I went into a bookstore to hand in my job application and came out with the following:

Join my book chat! We have read-a-longs

 

Ever wanted somewhere you can easily talk to other book readers and bloggers? 
Discord is a (voice and) text chat primarily for games but I’ve seen other communities utilize its multiple channel feature to be able to have conversations about other things (I’ve seen servers for anime, manga, and movie fans) and I thought it was perfect to create a space for us book bloggelrs to gather to talk all things bookish.
TO JOIN THE CHAT CLICK THIS INVITE

Above you can see the different channels we currently have to allow people to have general conversations, book talk (where our idea for a read-a-long was proposed) and to share book recommendations and reviews. We’re also running a Neverwhere Read-a-long and 2 travelling book projects at the moment.

We’re only a small a growing community at the moment as the server was created 14th January this year but so far peoples feedback has been encouraging to make this an active place for all :)

I'm sharing this now because as of today we will be running two read-a-longs; the Unwind series by Neal Shusterman which will go on until October as we're reading a book a month to allow time for everyone to read other books too and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
