Update/personal blog post :)

   Sorry for not posting for a while now,  my laptop got splashed with some water recently and has spent the last week or so drying out in a sack of rice, it has escaped unscathed thankfully and is in full working order and is what I am currently typing on. I also had some issues with my internet connection, so yeah, back on track now, I've read Hex Hall and re-read Meg Cabot's Missing You as well as a new book I read called One night for Love by Mary Balogh which was recommended to me by a friend and I'll be posting reviews for both Hex Hall and One night for Love soon. I've been delaying reading Graceling for a while now, so that'll probably be the next book I read.

  On another note, today was my first day at university! I've been itching to start for a while now and I can barely believe I've finally started! I'm starting the "Pre-Professional Program" for med students at my uni, its designed to sort us out into medicine, dentistry and pharmacy students. I'm aiming for med, hope I can make it!

I won't be too busy for the first couple of weeks so I plan on reviewing these books and testing the waters at school. To see if I'll have enough time to keep reading and reviewing or if I should take a break when it gets more challenging. Nothing for sure yet, hopefully it won't be too bad and I'll be able to post occasionally.

Well, that all for now :)

Ever Yours~

BookSneeze?

While I was hopping away last friday I saw a little bumper sticker thing in the sidebar of one of the blogs I visited, it looked pretty cool so I clicked. It turned out to be about this website for book bloggers where they give you free books just so you'll review them! I think this is really cool, not sure exactly how it works yet but I'm interested. Lol, I havent done that many reviews yet so I think I'll wait till I have a little collection of book reviews to call my own before signing up. I'm starting "Graceling" which is supposed to be a really great novel. Its part of a series as I understand it but I'm not sure how many books are in the series. Seems like just the kind of book I'd love! I'm pretty optimistic about my review of this one! Posting Hush, Hush review tomorrow, hopefully so look out for that :)

Also, I added a little countdown (at the bottom of the page) for the release of Mockingjay thanks to the lovely Len of Musings of a Reader Happy so thanks! :)

August is passing by so quickly don;t you think? I mean it seems like it only just started! Only 7 days left till Mockingjay is out! Can't wait!

Shelfari!

Okay, so for all you book fanatics out there, this website is one of my absolute favorite websites ever. Its called shelfari and it helps you organize your books and keep track of things.You can add tags to books you want to read, have read, and tag which ones you actually own. You can also add comments to each book and rate it on a scale of 1-5 stars. I don't know about you guys but usually when I shop for books i buy 'em in BULK, like 10-15 books at a time.

Then I make a huge mess of my nightstand, like so:

Needless to say it takes ages to find a particular book after I've set it down, let alone find my place (my bookmarks, of which there are few, usually fall out, or i forget to put them in to begin with) which brings us to the usefulness of shelfari!

The comments are for you and your shelfari friends to peruse so I just add the page i got to as a note, just in case i lose track of where i am. The website also helps me pick out books to read, since I can't seem to find a place that suggests good books anywhere. I just look at the most popular young adult books or the top rated ones and pick out the ones I think sound nice (They have the summary of each book on a separate page, as well as a page for the author with a list of all the books he/she has written) Everything is in one place!

You can check out my profile here and the list of top teen books here.

Ever yours ~
