I'm back, and my Giveaway has ended!

I've arrived back in England after a lovely week in Llangollen, and I cannot wait to catch you guys up on what I've been doing with my time, as I certainly haven't been blogging. I will try very hard to have a post up tomorrow explaining my antics, but I am doing other things too tomorrow, and it will mean grabbing some pictures off of my camera so the post might take time. I do also wish to catch up with some missed posts because I'm pretty annoyed I missed this week's topics!

However, I do have a little something for you all before I leave this rather short post. My giveaway for Vanessa Morton's 'Moonfall' has now ended and a winner has been picked. That winner was Cait from Notebook Sisters, so well done to her and do check out the blog that she runs with her sister. It's great! I think that is really all I have to say, I'm absolutely knackered but I do have some exciting things to show you guys and I'm in a really happy mood after a wonderful holiday.

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, 27/03/2014: Goodreads sort out!

I've had a bit of a lazy day today if I'm being honest. I didn't really have all that much to do other than a few chores around the house. Excitedly though, I won another Goodreads 'First Reads' giveaway! Today's win is an exciting one, 'Good Kings, Bad Kings' by Susan Nussbaum. It looks very good and I can't wait for it to arrive! 

I'm afraid I've been very bad with my reading today, though I will do some tonight before bed. I spent a lot of my day working on blog stuff, including today's 'Life Of A Blogger' post, for which the topic was 'Favourite Animals'. I really am enjoying this meme and look forward to next week's interesting choice, 'Handwriting'. As well as that, I caught up with my Bloglovin' Feed a little and managed to re-organise and tidy up my Goodreads account a bit. It's becoming a bit of a mess.

Other than that, today has been pretty uneventful. I have a couple of bits and bobs to do tomorrow before seeing Mat, including a trip up town and hopefully making a lot more headway with this book! I also have a couple of posts to plan, so lots to do!

Daily Shenanigans, 06/02/2014: Goodreads First Reads winner!

Spent most of the day acting as a Taxi service for various members of my family due to the terrible weather. Honestly, it hasn't stopped raining since yesterday evening and I'm going to have to catch the train to Uni tomorrow because a lot of roads are flooded. Other than that, most of my day was filled with  the usual list of bits and bobs to do.

The most exciting part of my day was logging onto my Goodreads account and finding out that I had won a book from the numerous giveaways that they do! I was not expecting it at all, so many people enter them and I can't wait for it to arrive so that I can get stuck into it. The book is called 'Wolves' by Simon Ings, it was only released a month ago(ish) and I haven't heard many reviews about it so it should be interesting to read and of course I'll be reviewing it for you guys! 

I know this is a short post but I really don't have much more to say. I have basically finished 'It' and so a review of that will be up in the next couple of days. I'm off to Uni, then lunch, then seeing Mat (my boyfriend) tomorrow so there will be a lot more to talk about!
