Hello all! Hope you're all enjoying the summer! I'm currently on holiday in a huge castle in the South of France and enjoying relaxing, playing games, and of course reading a lot! Today's post is a review of a dreamy summer romance that's perfect for your holiday TBRs! Title: A Sky Painted Gold Author: Laura Wood Series: n/a Pages: 356 Publisher: Scholastic Date of Publication: 5th July, 2018 Source: Publisher for review* Synopsis from Goodreads: Growing up in her sleepy Cornish village dreaming of being a writer, sixteen-year-old Lou has always wondered about the grand Cardew house which has stood empty for years. And when the owners arrive for the summer - a handsome, dashing brother and sister - Lou is quite swept off her feet and into a world of moonlit cocktail parties and glamour beyond her wildest dreams. But, as she grows closer to the Cardews, is she abandoning her own ambitions... And is there something darker lurkin...
You may be thinking, 'What is Cicely doing, starting a new series of monthly round-up posts in March?!'. You may not be thinking anything at all. But I just wanted to start doing round ups at the end of every month because I think that I post a lot of reviews and read a lot of books that I feel sometimes don't get the attention they deserve and I want to highlight them again and also just to keep track of everything each month, you know? So hopefully I'll be doing a round up of what I've read/reviewed each month. I hope you enjoy! (Just give me a couple of months to figure out how I want to format it and what have you. Bare with me.)

Books reviewed:
I didn't really post anything of any importance that wasn't a review this month, but if I ever do then I'll be sure to mention them as well. Also, I'll try and make the next one look more visually interesting or something. I'm just kind of trying to figure out how I want to do this. If I was better at the tech-ier side of things than it'd look a lot better (then again, my whole blog would look a lot more fancypants.) So, yeah.
Also, unrelated, but who watched Doctor Who yesterday? I was surprised by how much I actually enjoyed it, but I think that that was mainly because it reminded of me the David Tennant days back when I actually genuinely loved and cared about the show. I still have a lot of issues with Moffat's writing though.
And, I think more important than Doctor Who, Game of Thrones comes back! You guys have no idea how ridiculously excited I am about this. I've been rewatching the show in preparation and boy I can't believe how much I forgot how good it is. Honestly, it's one of the best things on telly (but seriously if you're under 16 IGNORE THIS PART I do not want to be held responsible for making people curious about a show that it completely inappropriate for them)
So yes. March has been pretty good!
