April, May and June 2013 Wrap-Up

My apologies for not doing any of these wrap-ups for a while, but I've been busy... Procrastinating and just generally being a rubbish blogger. I apologise, I do! Anyway, I thought I'd share with you everything I've read since I last did one of these, so that you can see what reviews and posts you can expect in the coming weeks, as I plan to catch up now that I HAVE FINISHED EXAMS! HUZZAH! Anyway. Onto the books that I've been reading!

The Madman's Daughter (The Madman's Daughter, #1)

APRIL

The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd

After Eden by Helen Douglas

This month was pretty slow going... April was the first month of exam preparation really, so that's why... I really enjoyed The Madman's Daughter despite it being quite slow - it was actually really interesting. After Eden was good but not great - however it was just perfect for a three hour plane journey on the way back from our family holiday.

MAY

Between Shades of Grey by Ruta Sepetys

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Invisibility by Andrea Cremer and David Levithan

Oh you guys, Between Shades of Grey is incredible. I'd been told so many times that it was and I never got round to reading it... But I finally did and it's absolutely brilliant. Looking forward to reading Out of the Easy very soon! Invisibility was really good too - I read that after my Pride and Prejudice exam as an antidote and I really enjoyed it. Look out for my review of that one!

JUNE

1. The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani

2. Spy Society by Robin Benway

3. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by JK Rowling

4. Soulmates by Holly Bourne

5. The Sound by Sarah Alderson
6. Life After Theft by Aprilynne Pike

I'm quite proud that I managed to read more books in July than I did in April and May put together, but still, 10 books in three months is not that great, considering last year I was reading 10 books a month! Ah well. Look out for my blog tour stop for Spy Society coming up this month, and also look out for exciting things about Soulmates, later this year! Harry Potter of course was excellent (a reread, but still!) and you can read my review of The School for Good and Evil here.

My favourite book of these three months is...

BETWEEN SHADES OF GREY by Ruta Sepetys

I'm probably not going to be reviewing this one as I didn't make any notes about it and I read it a while ago, and because it wasn't a review book I don't have to review it... Sorry guys! Just take my word for it and read it - it's absolutely brilliant and I loved it.

I'm looking forward to catching up more with my reading in July, especially:

And lastly, here are some awesome books that are coming out in July to look forward to!

Thanks for reading! How was your reading this month?

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 Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson

Title: The Unexpected Everything Author: Morgan Matson Series: standalone Pages: 518 Publisher: Simon and Schuster Date of Publication: 5th May, 2016 Source: Spare review copy passed on* Synopsis from Goodreads: Andie has a plan. And she always sticks to her plan. Future? A top-tier medical school. Dad? Avoid him as much as possible (which isn’t that hard considering he’s a Congressman and he’s never around). Friends? Palmer, Bri, and Toby—pretty much the most awesome people on the planet, who needs anyone else? Relationships? No one’s worth more than three weeks. So it’s no surprise that Andie’s got her summer all planned out too. Until a political scandal costs Andie her summer pre-med internship, and lands both she and Dad back in the same house together for the first time in years. Suddenly she’s doing things that aren’t Andie at all—working as a dog walker, doing an epic scavenger hunt with her dad, and maybe, jus...
