REVIEW: A Sky Painted Gold by Laura Wood

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...

Monthly Round-up: June

Sorry I didn't do one of these for May, but I didn't really get around to doing much of anything in May that wasn't panicking about exams, but they're all over now so...



Books read in June

1. The Truth About Forever (reread)
2. The Raven Boys
3. Diary of a Crush: French Kiss
4. Anna and the French Kiss (reread)
5. Audrey, Wait!
6. Cracked Up To Be
7. The Taming of The Tights
8. My Life Next Door
9. The Night Itself
10. The Survival Kit
11. This is What Happy Looks Like

This is probably the most books I've ever read in a month before, which is pretty cool. Though that's probably because of all the contemps and french kissing. Bit of a theme for the summer, but alas, only in my reading habits. ;)

Book of the Month:

You know what, I can't really decide. I liked pretty much all of the books I read this month, but if I had to pick one, it'd probably be...

In other news, Google Reader is dead. But, you can still follow me via other feedreaders! The one I use is Bloglovin' because it's easy to use for a simpleton like myself, and you'll probably have noticed the huge, self-indulgent button on the sidebar by now which will (hopefully) enable you to follow me. It would be really nice if you still did want to hang out here, but I'm not offended if you don't really care. I'm trying not to be too in your face about this whole thing, because I'm pretty sure everybody knows about Google Reader dying and has sorted out their arrangements by now, so this'll probably be the last I have to say about it (again, apart from the great big 'FOLLOW ME' button on the sidebar...) (If you didn't notice it HERE  should be the link to it. Okay, I'm done now.)

In other, other news, it's nearly the summer holidays! Which means I'll probably actually have time to do stuff again! Yay! I may even be creative and post something that isn't a meme or a book review! But don't hold me up to this I don't want to let anybody down by not actually following through on what I'm saying right now!

Okay, so, that was June!

Monthly Round-Up: August

Hello! So it's been another month (they go so fast), and I still haven't been up to much on the blog. I have no excuse, I think this is just how I do now so. I'm pretty sure any one who still reads my blog knows the deal by now. Anyway, apart from that, August has been a pretty good month for me! It's pretty much just been a whole month of doing nothing and reading, and it was my birthday. So that was nice. And there was a whole bunch of events which were a lot of fun and which I am going to tell you to much about at some point in this post.  Books read Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet by Bernie Sue and Kate Rorick Through the Woods by Emily Carroll The Agency: The Traitor in the Tunnel by Y S Lee Starring Kitty by Keris Stainton This Book is Gay by James Dawson Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones (reread) Skulduggery Pleasant: Last Stand of Dead Men by Derek Landy Total: 9 A...

Monthly Round-Up: January

So January's been a bit of a slow month for me again, but January is always just kind of depressing and boring so I feel like I can be let off the hook a bit because of that. Though this January wasn't as awful and boring as it could have been because I got some lovely books and got to go to some lovely events and see lovely people. Books Read: The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley Wolf-Speaker by Tamora Pierce The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead Vicious by V E Schwab Emperor Mage by Tamora Pierce The Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale The Realms of the Gods by Tamora Pierce Dead Ends by Erin Lange So, only 8 books this January, but I liked all of them. Though I feel like I should probably start reading more books from this century again... But I can kind of see where the whole Tamora Pierce lovefest thing has come from now. I wasn't that keen on the Alanna books when I read the first two around this time last year, but the I got on with the Immortals series much better. Mayb...

Dead Ends review

Dead Ends Erin Lange February 6th 2014 (UK) Faber (UK) Dane Washington and Billy D. couldn't be more different. Dane is clever and popular, but he's also a violent rebel. Billy D. has Down's syndrome, plays by the rules and hangs out with teachers in his lunch break. But Dane and Billy have more in common than they think - both their fathers are missing. They're going to have to suck up their differences and get on with helping each other. There are answers to be found. Powerful, funny, moving - the ultimate coming-of-age novel . I was a little surprised at how much I properly liked Dead Ends. I knew that I would like it, of course, because books about friendship are kind of what I'm all about a lot of the time. Don't know if I've ever mentioned that (I've definitely mentioned that I'm always going on about friendships I LOVE THEM). But I read it while I was having a bit of a Tamora Pierce thing and I thought I was only in the mood for 90s YA fantasy...
