Until this week, I have been largely AWOL recently. This was due to my attending the Isle of Wight Festival 2012 (where I saw Tom Petty, Pearl Jam and Bruce Springsteen, all of whom were amazing, and which I wrote about here and here and here), and being ill both during and after the festival, at which point I went home to visit my family for a few days.
As such, I am a little bit behind on my blogging, but I have a couple of things to share this week that I haven't had chance to yet!
First of all, a huge thanks to Mands at VeganYANerds, who sent me a copy of Julia Lawrinson's Losing It. I am definitely looking forward to delving into this slice of Aussie YA! Mandee also sent me some vegan chocolate, which I am saving for one of those curled-up-on-the-sofa-reading days. :)
I also picked up The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, by Jennifer E. Smith. I'd had this on request from the library for a while, and was surprised when I finally got an email telling me it had come in. I've heard a lot of good things about this book!
I haven't had much time for reading recently, mostly due to the ever-increasing demands of my PhD and my work on the journal. But I did manage to finish Tom Anderson's Riding The Magic Carpet (review here), as well as Girl, Missing by Sophie McKenzie, a British YA novel I will be reviewing soon!
Iam currently reading have just finished Brigid Lowry's Follow The Blue, a wonderful slice of contemporary YA lit that I would definitely recommend. I have also dug out some of my pre-Bibliotekit reviews from Goodreads, which I will be putting up sporadically in a 'From the Vaults' fashion.
Next week I have tickets to see Faith No More twice, as well as a band called Barreness, and finally Soundgarden in Hyde Park. Hopefully I can squeeze in some reading around that!
