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...
This is going to be a short post because, if you didn't know already, July was kind of a dead month for me on the blog. I didn't read that much and I certainly didn't review that much... I just really need to read a 5 star, absolutely amazing book because it feels like it's been forever since that happened and I think it will get me out of my reviewing slump a bit. Hopefully I'll at least get around to doing more than 6 posts in August, though...
Books read:
Dead Jealous by Sharon Jones
Adorkable by Sarra Manning (reread)
The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey
Hidden Among Us by Katy Moran
Antigoddess by Kendare Blake
Ocean of Secrets by Aimee Friedman
Book of the Month:
I don't really know for July... Like, I enjoyed everything that I read, but none of it stands out as being particularly outstanding from the rest. If I had to pick one (and I'm not counting Adorkable because it's a reread and one of my favourite books), it would probably be Antigoddess.
Books reviewed:
As I said, it was kind of a slow month for me. But I did actually do a discussion post for once, too! I really wish that I could come up with more ideas about what to do on the blog because I always feel like it gets a bit samey and maybe that's a bit why I'm lacking inspiration for reviewing, as well. But anyway, here's the link to that discussion post, too, should you wish to read it.
In other news, I finished my first year at Sixth Form! I also did literally nothing else. There's not been any telly on that I can talk about or anything. All I've done is watch films, rewatch Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra and start working my way through Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
I hope July has been a more interesting month for you than it has for me! See you in August.
