Progress...(July-August)

So yeah...these 'Progress...' posts are meant to be monthly things in regards to the books I've read, but as you can see this has failed miserably. I did remember before the 9th August that one was due, but in terms of actually getting round to writing it I just kept procrastinating!


Books read 10th June- 20th August:

'1Q84: Book 3' by Haruki Murakami
'Remember Me' by Lesley Pearse
'I Am A Cat' by Soseki Natsume
'The Girl King' by Meg Clothier
'The Queen's Secret' by Victoria Lamb

Currently Reading:

'Ed King' by David Guterson

In the reading pile:

'The First Wife' by Emily Barr
'Tyrant' by Christian Cameron

Actually, I've had 'Tyrant' in my reading pile since May. In fact I finished the first chapter...but decided to put it to one side and read some other books instead. I'll admit, said first chapter didn't really grab my attention to finish it off, hence the constant procrastination!

Furthermore, there are a few more books I want to get out of the library first before university starts again next month. You see, I'm seriously overdrawn (sad times!) so trying to be cautious with spending money on leisure things, including books. Yes, paperback books are ridiculously cheap nowadays, but it's still 1p-£5 you're spending on something that you might never read again, and that's taking up space which you're running out of. :(

Any recommendations on newly released books? I'm participating on some giveaways for Goodreads, since I want to make this blog more popular then people are going to be searching for reviews of the latest book. Maybe I should join NetGalley...

Hope you're enjoying this blog. Thanks for reading!
Antonia. :)
