Bella and Daph's Epic Review Month: Kick-Off

Hello! Welcome to the kick-off post for Bella & Daph's Epic Review Month! May has finally arrived, so our month of reading and reviewing can get started - and so can yours! :D

If you missed the announcement, basically, Daph from Loving Books and I are using May as a chance to read and review as many review books as we can, to get our review piles down to make room for all of the awesome new releases coming out in the next couple of months. We decided to make it a feature, so you can join in too! If you don't have review books - that's fine - just read as much as you can! :D For more info go here or here.

Here's what I'm planning on reading...
Unrest by Michelle Harrison
We'll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han
Struck by Jennifer Bosworth
Black Heart Blue by Louisa Reid
Rules of Attraction & Chain Reaction by Simone Elkeles
*whispers* And then I have some sneaky exceptions to the review only rule...
Fall For Anything by Courtney Summers
Graffiti Moon by Cath Crowley

We have a tentative schedule for you, so you'll know who's posting what and when:
Wednesdays: Q&As - with other bloggers about reading and reviewing!
Fridays and Saturdays: Weekly wrap-up days! This is where you'll link up reviews and check-up posts, etc.
Friday 11th: Readathon #1 - the whole weekend - join in when you can!
Saturday 19th: Readathon #2 - mini 24hrs for anyone who can't join in the first one.
Sat 26th & Sun 27th: Reviewathon - to catch up with all those pesky reviews :D

Sound good? We hope so! If you're still not sure, we have giveaways planned too, just in case you need that extra incentive ;P So...
Once you're all signed up and you've grabbed the button from below (not necessary, but you know, sharing is good and all that ;P ) then you can get reading! We'll have weekly check ups for you all, so you can see how we are doing, and we're hoping you'll link up reviews and any weekly check ups that you post throughout the month to keep us updated too! Check back here and at Loving Books too so you don't miss any posts, and most of all, HAVE FUN!! :D We'll see you soon! :D

Next post: Q&A #1 - Cheezyfeet Books, Wednesday 2nd May.

In My Mailbox #14

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi from The Story Siren. BOUGHT Divergent by Veronica Roth It was a complete surprise when I got this in the mail, it's not meant to be out until May 3rd so when I got it early from Amazon, I was extremely excited! Read it in two days, it's awesome! It is so good, you really have to read it! Bite Club by Rachel Caine Again, I was surprised when this came because it's also not meant to be out until May 3rd... Amazon have been sending things out early! Oh well, I'm not complaining :) I'll be reading this as soon as I finish The Girl in the Steel Corset, can't wait, The Morganville Vampires series is one of my favourites and this is book 10! :) The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E Pearson I bought this one because it was £0.89 for Kindle, and I've heard good things about it :) Can't wait to read it, especially as it's dystopian! FOR REVIEW The Day Before by Lisa Schroeder I'm really excite...

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!

Book Review: The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

Title: The Scorpio Races Author: Maggie Stiefvater Series: Standalone Pages: 404 Publisher: Scholastic Date of Publication: 25th October 2011 Source: Publisher* Synopsis from Goodreads: It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die. At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them. Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn’t given her much of a chance. So she enters the competition — the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen. My Thoughts: I was really excited to read The Scorpio Races . I'm a huge fan of Maggie Stiefvater, and I've read all her previous books apart from Balla...
