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...
Hey everyone! Hope you're having a good summer so far! Sorry for not posting for a while, again, but I've been busy! I'll tell you about that later on in the post though. Also, I won't be posting anything this week, but I'm hoping to start up again around the 4th August. So, onto what I've been reading this month!
I've had Anna Dressed In Blood for so long and I've only ever heard good things, so I thought it was about time I read it! It was super awesome so I went on to read the sequel, Girl of Nightmares, straight away. While not as good as the first, I still really enjoyed it! All Our Yesterdays was really, really good, and hopefully I'll get my review of that up soon. I absolutely loved Vivian Versus the Apocalypse, which was from Hot Key Books and out in September, as is The Rig. Those two books were last year's winner of the Young Writers Prize award and they're definitely worthy, I think!
I didn't read as much as I wanted to this month, because it was my first month of holiday and I've been busy doing lots of things with friends and family and haven't really had that much time to myself. Also, I did some work experience! It was for four days at Usborne Publishing, and it was super fun and I really enjoyed it. I did it for school, and there's a blogging competition for it, so if I blog about my experience for school I'll be sure to post it here too, for you all to read if you're interested!
My book of the month was...
ALL OUR YESTERDAYS by Cristin Terrill
Hopefully I'll be reviewing this one soon! It's a time travel thriller, and it's awesome.
I only posted a couple of reviews this month, and you can read those here:
I'm going on holiday in August, so I'm looking forward to catching up with lots and lots of reading while I'm there, so that should be good! Also hoping to do some blogging but that didn't really work last year so we'll see! I'm going to be reading:
