Daily Shenanigans, 26/04/2014: Five cups of tea in one day?!

The main event of the day, I would have to say, was finishing Holly Black's 'The Poison Eaters And Other Stories'. I thoroughly enjoyed it and all of this month's challenges are complete! Hooray! Currently I'm making my way through 'Days Of Blood & Starlight', and then 'Hereafter' by Terri Bruce is next on the list! At this point I feel like my Planned Reads for April has basically gone out of the window, but I really need to start on some of these NetGalley approvals because I really want to keep up with them! I have been ever so good and refrained from requesting too many. Hopefully I'll work out a good balance soon.

Other than reading and reviewing, I've been majorly catching up on other people's blogs (I normally like to comment on the blogs that I follow, but I feel like I've been neglecting that lately) and drinking copious amounts of tea. I answered a couple of emails which leads me onto my next exciting piece of news, which I alluded to yesterday! I will be taking part in my very first Blog Tour for a book that I downloaded from Netgalley a week or so ago, Vanessa Morton's 'Moonfall'. I really am ever so excited about this, as it stands my post will be appearing Mid-July so still quite a while away. I can't wait to read the book and I have plenty of exciting ideas for this particular post, so look forward to that!

I then spent the evening watching 'Britain's Got Talent' and relaxing! It looks to be a pretty similar agenda, and hopefully if I'm good, I might even finish my current read! Obviously I will also post my Weekly Wishlist at some point, so another busy blog day tomorrow!

Daily Shenanigans, 13/04/2014: Tea, Chocolate and the Olivier Awards!

I have had a really good day today again, and quite a hectic one actually. My Dad bought a new Motorbike, and managed to sell his old one, all in the same day! The new one looks very nice, I don't know much about bikes but it's very cool and sporty looking! The weather was so lovely today that I actually myself went out for a drive with my sister, I really hope the weather stays like this, it's getting so hot now and beginning to feel like actual Summer! . We went to get a few bits at Tesco (which is incidentally where Mat works) and said hello to him as a surprise! Those bits included some more books which was really rather naughty of me because I have such a shelf space crisis at the moment. The two reads I picked up today were 'Half Bad' by Sally Green, and 'Mother, Mother' by Koren Zailckas. I've heard really good things about 'Half Bad' and 'Mother, Mother' I keep seeing in basically every book shop I walk into.

Talking of books: a progress update on 'The Fault In Our Stars'. I've finished the book! I won't say much, I'll save it for the review because Myra won't finish until tomorrow and I need time to recover/gather my thoughts/stop crying. The review itself will be up either tomorrow or Tuesday, depending on what we decide to do! Next on the TBR list is 'A Certain Slant Of Light'. I'm really excited about this one, I'm on a real roll with books at the moment and don't want it to stop. Incidentally, I'll be reading 'The Hunger Games' after that, which I'm desperately excited about. I love the films so much, it has basically become a crime that I haven't read a single one of the trilogy yet!

Right now, I'm sat in my room with some chocolate, tea and the Olivier Awards on TV. I'm a little sad because none of the shows/actors/actresses that I wanted to win actually won, but the ones who did win deserved it so I'm happy too. Plus, the intermittent performances were great! It's finishing now and I have work tomorrow, so I think I should probably get to bed and get some sleep. My whole day will pretty much be in Canterbury, so my weekend of relaxation is sadly over. I will be seeing Mat though, which is a bonus!
