I accidentally borrowed a lot of books.

It’s not my fault! I promise! It’s not. I dropped Mime off to busk downtown and…the library happens to be downtown. I also happen to be sad and lonely because my two evil overlords (that is to say my 2-year-old niece and 4-year-old nephew) are on holidays. I AM ALONE. What better way to comfort myself than with books?

[Spook’s Apprentice – library – preeeetty sure Amanda said it was awesome][Huntress – library – Engie recommends this author][The Intern – library – recommended by Emily][Slated – library – recommended by Eugenia][Eon – library – for my book club challenge][Second Star – library – recommended by Sky][Storm and Spark – won from Allen and Unwin][Since You’ve Been Gone – thanks Simon and Schuster AUS!][Conjured – thanks Bloomsbury!][The Ghosts of Heaven – thanks Hachette AUS!]

I put books on reserve when my friends say “this is awesome” but then I forget who recommended what. It’s mildly embarrassing. So if I lied about you recommending a book, well, hey it could be worse. SO! I’m particularly excited about Second Star because PETER PAN RETELLING.

What happened this week?

Sunday – Here are 10 ways to make a writer furious.
Monday – I ask if you shouldn’t be in school…which coincidentally is a question Lemony Snicket asks.
Tuesday – Pack my bags, minions, I’m heading for Paris. Or London. Or Prague. (Really I’m flexible.)
Thursday – I reviewed Since You’ve Been Gone which as LISTS. PEOPLES, I LOVE LISTS!
Saturday – I analysed 10 types of book bloggers (while I’d love to be Sauron, I think I’m The Fangirl).

These Are The Books I Ate:

 [The Scorch Trials] WELL THAT WAS EPIC. I spent the entire book whispering, “Oh little Thomas, what have you done?” [5-stars]

 [Since You’ve Been Gone] Lists…I adore them. Also shy people and icecream and Swedish House Mafia. [5-stars]
[Conjured] Whatwhatwhat. I guess we can’t have a perfect reading week. [3-stars]

I know. Compared to my usual five-book-diet this is quite shocking. But I have reasons. I HAVE BEEN WRITING.

Yes, So I Have Been Writing Vivaciously.
