So I've actually ended up having quite a book-filled day today! Yes I had some coursework to do and I did get some done, but a majority of my day was taken up with reading. I really wanted to finish 'Deep Blue' by Jennifer Donnelly, and I managed it! I have absolutely no regrets on this matter, it was a great book which I thoroughly enjoyed! the most depressing thing was realising that I would have to wait quite a while before the next installment is released! 'Deep Blue' also marks my first Netgalley feedback that I've sent off bringing my current percentage to a frankly pitiful 8.3%. I have a lot of reading to do!
Something I've been struggling with on here is not being able to reply to all comments that I receive. It really bugs me that I can't, I love it when people comment on my blog and I feel like they think I'm ignoring them but I can promise you all that is not the case! The 'Reply' button simply does not exist for some comments that are made on my post! How frustrating! If anyone has any ideas as to why this might be happening feel free to let me know, I would really like to be able to reply to everyone! While I'm talking about comments etc., I would just like to note that I've now reached 65 Bloglovin' followers and 36 on Google +. I am immensely proud and grateful that people enjoy reading my blog, so thank you all so much!
Not an awful lot else happened today I'm afraid. I'm off to Uni tomorrow to have a majorly productive day in terms of Uni stuff, deadlines are drawing ever closer. In terms of reading, next on the list is 'Cuckoo Song' by Frances Hardinge which looks delightfully creepy. Let's hope I don't get nightmares!

Daily Shenanigans, 13/03/2014: Bees do not like getting tangled in hair.
Well I think it's fair to say that today was long. It didn't start off brilliantly either, a bee got stuck in my hair and I don't think I've ever freaked out quite as much as I did when that happened. It was right by my ear and wouldn't stop buzzing, and I think I would have cried if it had stayed there any longer than it did. I was in Uni mid-morning until early evening, programming lights for next Thursday's set of shows. The programming itself went pretty well, it was just a long process and filled most of my day, leaving me with not a huge amount to talk about. All I can say is that though it was tiring and stressful, I'm pretty pleased with how it went!
When I got home I spent the evening relaxing, I'll be honest. Yes I have work to do but I figured I need a bit of me time so that I can approach it fresh-faced tomorrow. So I got round to actually doing a bit of reading! I have made real progress with 'The Snow Child' which I am thoroughly enjoying. It is such a wonderful book, I won't reveal too many of my thoughts, but unless something goes drastically wrong I would expect a top notch review from me for this one! I've also been doing quite a bit of blog planning, so that I can still get posts up around my busy week that I've got coming! Seeing as I'll be staying at my friends again for a good majority of it, I feel it's better to try and plan ahead, and not leave it till last minute like last time.
As well as all that, I would just like to take the time to mention that I'm now at 27 followers on Bloglovin' all of a sudden! I'm literally so taken aback and grateful, this blog really means a lot to me and I'm glad that people appreciate the posts that I put up on here! I've been talking to Mat all evening and I will be seeing him tomorrow (also, day off Uni, yay!) so I'm really excited and anxious for time to go quickly! Before he arrives, the plan is to get a huge chunk of Portfolio done (or even finish it if I can) so I can check another stress off the list!

Daily Shenanigans, 12/03/2014: 'Tithe' has finally arrived!
Yes you heard me correctly! After weeks of waiting, Holly Black's 'Tithe' is finally here! Man I am so happy and relieved that I don't have to go chasing it up, that I thought I'd tell you about it before talking about my day! It has been one of the books I've been looking forward to reading this month most! I ended up having a pretty good day overall actually, despite an early start that I did not want. Firstly, Uni Tech stuff went fine and finished really quickly. I keep switching between feeling fine about next week, and feeling like I'm going to have a panic attack about it. Thankfully today, I was so tired that my mind decided to be relaxed about it all.
After Uni I had work and that too went really well. I hadn't been looking forward to it at all because I've got so much on my plate at the moment that I really didn't need a work shift on top of it all. It turns out, it was exactly what I needed. I spent all afternoon smiling and laughing, had a good day at work target-wise and managed to actually forget about life's other stresses for a while. Bliss! Also, a strange thing to say, but I really enjoyed driving today! Normally I'm a bit nervous and cautious because even though I started driving ages ago, I still feel like I'm new to it. But today I managed to see why other people enjoy it. This evening mainly just consisted of me relaxing to be honest. When I got home, I realised just how exhausted I was and every part of me aches. Still, my book has arrived and I received my Giveaway E-Book win from the lovely Jackie at Bibliobrat, 'The Invention Of Wings' by Sue Monk Kidd! It really looks like such a good read and I must thank her again for hosting the giveaway in the first place, I can't wait to get round to reading it!
I did take part (though I was a bit late) in a Book Chat on Twitter this evening as well. The topic was 'Sidekicks/Side Characters' and it was really really fun. We discussed our favourites, what qualities we liked in a sidekick, whether we like them to have a back-story of their own, etc. and it was really interesting to interact with other bloggers/readers and hear their thoughts on each question. It was hosted by Saira at Growing Wings, and Zara at Page 394. I would thoroughly recommend going to the next one, they're a lot of fun and a great way to meet new people! Every Wednesday, 7pm GMT if you're interested!
On a final note: I have 22 followers on Bloglovin' and 16 now on Google +! I'm so eternally grateful to everyone who reads and enjoys my posts, I'm very proud with what I've achieved over the last couple of months and long may the books/new friends/blogging fun continue!
