Daily Shenanigans, 07/07/2014: I ache so much!

I've spent a fair bit of today having a well earned rest. After yesterday's antics, I woke up totally exhausted, with next to no voice and my muscles absolutely killing me. It was such a good day out but I'm really glad I got to relax today. So what did I do? Well a bit of London job hunting to start with, followed by playing The Sims 3 for a couple of hours and reading too. I didn't finish the book but I'm a lot closer now. I also posted a fun little challenge, just because I'd been planning to for a while. The questions were a lot of fun to answer!

Tomorrow I will post my next Top Ten Tuesday post, and continue with some reading before work. Yes that's right, back to reality! 

Daily Shenanigans, 23/06/2014: Lots of reading progress!

I have had such a productive day. As you all know I finished 'One Hundred Years Of Solitude' yesterday and posted the review this morning. Well today I've read all but the last few chapters of 'The Bees' by Laline Paull and again, the review will be up tomorrow. I can't believe how much I've read today! It's not even as if I haven't had other things to do, as I spent a good majority of the day with Mat. We spent half the day at his house, and half at mine. The weather was really hot (almost stiflingly so) so it was good to get out of the house for a bit. I also took a break from reading after Mat had gone to play The Sims 3 for a few hours so I've definitely been doing other things today.

Tomorrow I would have been working, but I've swapped my shift to Wednesday and so instead, I'll be doing even more reading as well as posting my Top Ten Tuesday. I have plenty to be getting on with in terms of preparation for future posts too, so hopefully tomorrow will serve as a really productive blog day.

Daily Shenanigans, 09/06/2014: Guest post!

So, I've ended up being a very busy bee today actually! I'll start off by saying that the weather was tremendously hot, though it has rained quite a lot and we've even had a Thunder Storm this evening. Hopefully the air will be a little less humid now! I started the morning off playing a little bit of The Sims 3 and reading a rather hefty portion of 'Stolen Songbird'. I am enjoying this book so much and I can't wait to finish and review it for you guys! Mat came over about mid-morning and has spent quite a lot of it fussing over me on account of my hurting foot after yesterday's little trip down the stairs (...that was a terrible pun, my apologies). I also finally got round to posting a separate page for reviews, so they can be found more easily. I am glad I have the time to be improving upon my blog in the way that I want to at last! Mat and I did pop into town today to do a few bits and bobs, but other than that it has been very much a day of relaxation. While in town, I did buy Season 2 of 'Game Of Thrones' on Blu-Ray and we watched a couple of episodes today. I am thoroughly addicted to that series.

After Mat left, I began to work on a post that I've been keeping secret up until now. The lovely ladies over on Oh, The Books! have recently put out a call for all newbie bloggers (if your blog has started in the last six months) to write a guest post for them to put on their own blog (click here if you're interested). It's a wonderful idea and though it took me a while to pluck up the courage to say I would do it, I'm glad I have volunteered. I've started on the post today. It isn't quite finished, and I haven't been given a set date for when it will go up but I shall keep you all updated as I know more! I'm extremely excited! 

Tomorrow I will try and finish it, and then send it onto them. I shall also be posting my 'Top Ten Tuesday' list and hopefully reviewing my current read too. Busy, busy!

Daily Shenanigans, 08/06/2014: Conquering the beast!

I have read books in the past and felt a small satisfaction when finishing them. But never to the scale of the satisfaction I felt today, when I finished 'The Luminaries'. I don't mean that in a negative way necessarily, only that I think I severely underestimated this book and am glad that I persevered and finished anyway! My next read, as mentioned before, will be 'Stolen Songbird' by Danielle L. Jensen. I'm very much looking forward to it! My day has been filled with blogging, reading and playing on The Sims 3 (particularly the latter). I managed to post a review and my Weekly Wishlist today so I'm pretty pleased with how much I've actually got done. I've got a lot of catching up to do though! 

Tomorrow I'll be doing much of the same, though I'll be seeing Mat for most of the day before he heads off to work in the evening. I'm looking forward to it! Time to head to bed and rest right now though, I just fell down the stairs so my foot is killing me!

Daily Shenanigans, 04/06/2014: 'The Sims 3' spree!

I've had a pretty busy day today actually! I started it off by venturing out into the pouring rain to go and pick Mat up from his house, before heading back to mine. We went straight into town where he went to the Opticians and I booked an appointment. While I waited for him, I went shopping and bought myself a few expansion packs for The Sims 3 which I've been really craving to play recently. Then I headed home and managed a minute amount of reading/blog stuff. In the afternoon, I had a dentist appointment and then not long after Mat and I made our way to London once more. We are going to be here for a few days and have plenty to do!

I'm getting a bit worried about how far I'm falling behind my reading schedule already. I had hoped to have finished this book by today but I'm only a fifth of the way through! I will just have to get through it as best I can and then do some serious catching up this weekend. Tomorrow, Mat and I have a house viewing, maybe a bit of shopping and then the Theatre in the evening. Not too much time for reading but it still looks like it will be a fun day!
