So, it’s been an interesting (and very busy) time for me. Over Christmas and January I was doing an internship at Angry Robot, and since then I’ve been catching up with stuff and exploring some new opportunities. It’s been fun!
And of course, I’ve been reading some great books too! In addition to being piled with Angry Robot, Strange Chemistry and Exhibit A books (SO many amazing looking books!), I’ve finally started reading a series that I’ve been dying to try: Mary Robinette Kowal’s Glamourist series. I’ve also been reading some great book club picks, including The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay and The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. And I’m currently LOVING The Copper Promise by Jennifer Williams. For Valentine’s Day I finally got to see Disney’s Frozen (adored it!), and I’m super excited that we’ve just got Netflix! I won’t tell you how far into The Vampire Diaries I am already, because that would just be embarrassing...
And so now, after a bit of a hiatus, I’m going to be kick-starting the blog again, getting back to posts and reviews. :-)
Here’s a sneak peek at some of the things coming up:

Thanks Catherine! :-) Pretty excited about the TBR pile at the moment.
DeleteI got The Copper Promise when I was trying out Bookbridgr, heard lots of good things. I also want to read Some Kind of Fairytale. Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellie! :D Some Kind of Fairy Tale is so good, very different to the usual fairy story fantasy book. Hope you get a chance to read it soon!
DeleteGreat pick of books! I am super excited to get The Copper Promise and Gretel in the Dark, both looks amazing. The Lions of Al-Rassan looks amazing as well!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back :D
Happy reading!
Fantastic haul! I have Gretal and the Dark on my TBR pile- it sounds so good and I really really want to read Some Kind of Fairytale- i love the cover for it as well! Enjoy all of them :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!
ReplyDeleteThe Copper Promise looks amazing. Exactly my kind of read. I am adding it to my TBR pile. I'll be waiting for your review. :)
Busy lady! Have fun with your books.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you're back. I ADORED Frozen! So catchy. Have a great week! My STS
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see you back! :) And so nice to hear that you had such a great time with Angry Robot too. x
ReplyDeleteNice to see you, I'm a new blogger on the block, UK based as well. I don't actually watch a lot of TV any more, but my teenage children certainly get their money's worth out of their Netflix subscription, I tell you!
