In My Mailbox #27

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren and showcases the books you received in the week, whether it came to you in the mail, or you bought it in a shop :) Bought, borrowed, gifted, one, or for review, they all count! :) Also, I have no actual photos today because my camera's out of battery and I can't be bothered to charge it because I am a lazy person. So all pictures are from Goodreads :)

BOUGHT

Amy & Roger's Epic Detour  Ten Things We Shouldn't Have Done

Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson (UK Paperback)
I'm so excited to read this - I've only heard good things about it, so yay! I'm going to try and fit it in with my summer reading :) Also, the back is so cool, it's like a postcard...

Ten Things We Shouldn't Have Done by Sarah Mlynowski (UK Paperback)
Lots of people don't like this cover and title, and I agree that the US one is better, but this one isn't hideous... And it was cheaper :) It looks hilarious and it's got really good reviews, so like Amy & Roger I'm going to try and fit it in with my summer reading too :)

FOR REVIEW

The Scorpio Races  Blood Red Road (Dustlands, #1)

The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater (UK Proof) *SQUEEEEEE*
Oh. My. Gosh. I have this and I'm SO EXCITED!!! I cannot wait to read this, it looks AMAZING :D It's by Maggie so it will be awesome, and I just can't say how I excited I am to have this XD *happy dance* Thank you Scholastic!

Blood Red Road by Moira Young (UK Paperback)
I already have this book, but I got another copy for review this week so I've put one of them up on ReadItSwapIt :) It's in perfect condition so if you want it, I'm 'cheezyfeetbooks' :P I haven't read it yet though, so I'm excited to now! Thank you Scholastic!

GIFTED

Before I Fall

Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver (UK Paperback, RAK from Scattered Laura)
Yay! This completes my Lauren Oliver collection :) I'm really excited to read it, I've heard mixed things about it, but I still want to read it! :D Thank you very much Laura!

    I really can't wait to get a copy of "Before I fall" I've heard great things about it! I also want to read "Ten things we shouldn't have done". Looking forward to your review on "The Scorpio Races" I've only read Stiefvater's YA books.

    Yay! That's a great Mailbox for you Bella! :)

    Before I Fall is SO good. I hope you like (love!) it as much as I do. I just finished Blood Red Road earlier this week and really liked it! It's different from other dystopians I've read so far so that's good :)

    AND YOU HAVE THE SCORPIO RACES WHAAAAAA. Awesome! Hope you'll enjoy! I'll be looking forward to reading your review :)

    Happy reading! My IMM can be found here :)

    OOh you got the Scorpio Races for review! Lucky! I can't decide if that's one I want to read or not. Would read it if I got a review copy for sure, but still not sure what I want to do!

    Happy Reading!

Book Blogger Hop #10 and Follow Friday #5

It's Friday again, so time for the Book Blogger Hop and the Follow Friday! What very popular and hyped book in the blogosphere did you NOT enjoy and how did you feel about posting your review?  My answer: I didn't really enjoy Fallen by Lauren Kate very much, and I'm not sure why, I just didn't. Anyway, I wasn't really sure how to post my review, but I ended up saying why I didn't like it, but also all the parts I thought were good. I always try and post my honest opinion, and if I didn't like a particular book, I will try and say so in the nicest way possible, saying what the good bits were too. Because a book can't be all bad, can it?  What do you do besides reading/reviewing as a hobby? My answer: Although reading takes up a lot of my time, I do do other things... I play the flute, and am currently on Grade 6 so that takes up a lot of my time too... And apart from reading and reviewing on my blog, I don't really do much else. I listen to a ...

Hello all! Hope you're all enjoying the summer!

Title:  A Sky Painted Gold Author:  Laura Wood Series:   n/a Pages:   356 Publisher:  Scholastic Date of Publication:  5th July, 2018 Source:  Publisher for review* Synopsis from Goodreads: Growing up in her sleepy Cornish village dreaming of being a writer, sixteen-year-old Lou has always wondered about the grand Cardew house which has stood empty for years. And when the owners arrive for the summer - a handsome, dashing brother and sister - Lou is quite swept off her feet and into a world of moonlit cocktail parties and glamour beyond her wildest dreams.

Book Blogger Hop #4

It's that time again, for the Book Blogger Hop, hosted by Jennifer at Crazy For Books! It gives bloggers a chance to hop around and find some awesome new blogs to follow! I frequently find new books that I need to read, and it's a great way to make new friends! Click the link above to sign up! =] Where is your favourite place to read? Curled up on the sofa, in bed, in the garden? My answer: My favourite place to read is in the corner of our corner sofa in the living room, when my brother is playing the Xbox, because then, I can block out the sounds of him blowing things up and just get lost in a book. I can't read there though if the TV's on, as I'll just end up watching the programme instead! I also like reading in bed, but sometimes I'll find myself drifting off, so I don't read there very often!
