Daily Shenanigans, 11/06/2015: More news!

Well guys I'm totally knackered so I will make this post very short. I spent this morning with my lovely boyfriend, who last minute decided to come round and keep me company. We watched another episode of Game Of Thrones and then he took me to the station which was very sweet of him. I then spent the afternoon, and a bit of the evening, at work as I said yesterday. I'm tired now, but it wasn't too bad! The weather was lovely! I did manage to get a minute amount of reading done but not an awful lot and I fear that today has been a bit unproductive. I have had a couple of interesting things happen though! Firstly, the lovely Jennifer from Donnie Darko Girl informed me that I'd won her giveaway for an E-copy of Sarah Dalton's 'Mary Hades' which I'm so happy about. I've been an avid follower of Dalton's Facebook page for quite a while, but haven't yet had time to read any of her work. Now I can! Thank you Jennifer, your news truly made my day! My next exciting piece of news is that I've received another Author request! This is nothing new for more experienced bloggers, but for me it's extremely exciting! The book in question is H.L.Burke's 'Dragon's Curse' and it's received some pretty good reviews so I would definitely love to give it a go!

Tomorrow I am seeing Mat again in the morning and have an Optician's appointment but after, I'm free to catch up on all of these jobs that need doing. Procrastination is a terrible habit that I should not be allowing myself to fall into!

Daily Shenanigans, 02/04/2014: My first review request?

What an exhausting day it has been, I can barely keep my eyes open! Firstly, I didn't end up going into Uni today. Instead I went for an impromptu visit to Mat's because it's the Easter Holidays and I can. Then afterwards, I had work. Never has a shift felt so long in my life, there was a lot to do and by the end of it, I was knackered! Then it was back to Mat's to hand the car over, before finally returning home this evening. I have ended up having a really good evening though, for a number of reasons.

Firstly, I found the 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' soundtrack on Youtube and I've been listening to it a lot and it has made me happy. I'm such a geek I know, but Film Scores will always be my favourite thing to listen to, especially when I need some downtime! Mat went to see the film for the second time tonight and I was having withdrawal symptoms! 

Secondly, and perhaps this is the most exciting news of all, I received an email on Goodreads from an Author named Betsy Cook Speer. She wanted to know if I would like to receive a copy of her book 'Demolition Queen - Champagne, Murder & Chaos' for review. Having looked into it, it seems like a really good read! The cover art and title are certainly intriguing! This is a big thing for me actually because although I have reviewed complimentary books before, they were won rather than offered. It is the first time that an Author has actually approached me about a review and I am very excited!

And that really makes up my news, which has put me in an astoundingly good mood. I'm doing good with 'Tithe', review should be up tomorrow or Friday depending on the time I get to finish it. I'll be with Mat for a lot of tomorrow (I'm staying at his), but I will need to post my 'Life Of A Blogger' post, and who knows, we may even go to the Cinema or something!
