Magnificently Magic Read-a-thon Sign Up

Stopping by today to let you know of a Read-a-thon a lovely two months in advance so you can put this weekend aside and create a stack of books to zoom through.

Faye at A Daydreamers Thoughts is hosting "Magnificently Magic Read-A-Thon" as Christmas can be a very magical time of the year so this read-a-thon reflects all the wonder and magic that surrounds us whilst we're snuggled by the fire with marshmallowed hot chocolates and snow decorated window frames.

The aim of the read-a-thon is to read any magical book possible - either witches, fairies/fey, books that feel magical, books with a winder setting or even a Christmas themed book or two, basically your choice with how you'd like to approach this.

Faye has also hinted at the fact there may even be a few Christmas surprises throughout and is open to hearing if a different or extended time slot would be preferred, don't forget to stop by her post or contact her because help is always nice.

Wishlist Wednesday (19)

Wishlist Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Pen to Paper where we can share books that are on our wishlist.

After seeing a friend on goodreads give The Painted Man by Peter V. Brett a glowing five star review I had to add it to my wishlist!

GR: Mankind has ceded the night to the corelings, demons that rise up out of the ground each day at dusk, killing and destroying at will until dawn, when the sun banishes them back to the Core. As darkness falls, the world’s few surviving humans hide behind magical wards, praying the magic can see them through another night. As years pass, the distances between each tiny village seem longer and longer. It seems nothing can harm the corelings, or bring humanity back together.

Born into these isolated hamlets are three children. A Messenger teaches young Arlen that fear, more than the demons, has crippled humanity. Leesha finds her perfect life destroyed by a simple lie, and is reduced to gathering herbs for an old woman more fearsome than the demons at night. And Rojer’s life is changed forever when a traveling minstrel comes to his town and plays his fiddle.

But these three children all have something in common. They are all stubborn, and know that there is more to the world than what they’ve been told, if only they can risk leaving their safe wards to find it.

Updates: Giveaway Winner & Vlogs

Just to keep everyone in the loop I have started going through and reading the applications to join Northern Plunder, I may actually even select more than one person too, I didn't expect to be able to find so many who were interested but I guess I was wrong.

Fanatical About Fiction.

Some of you may have noticed we slowed down a little on the vlogging process, woops, but I still have a few to share with you that I didn't get round to posting, enjoy!
