Two birds one stone - I stumbled upon The Sunday Post Meme hosted by the lovely Caffinated Book Reviewer & the Stacking The Shelves meme hosted by the awesome Tynga's Reviews! It is quite similar to what I'm doing here with my Sunday musings - recapping the week in book blogging universe as well as letting you guys know about what books I bought or received.
So this week's Sunday Musing photo is extremely creepy!
This is what going to art school consist of - freaky things and beautiful artwork! Thanks to all the people out there who wished me a good-luck for my summer painting class because I definitely needed it! Although it's only been about a week since starting the course, I'm already stressed out about it! It is a good kind of stress though - the type that keeps me wanting more! This course is exposing me to painting with oils which is completely new to me. I'll admit that it's a really hard medium to paint with! You know the consistency of butter? You know how once it touches a surface it's almost impossible to get rid of that slime-y, greasy touch? Well painting with oils is like that except it's toxic and the colour is kind of permanently there. Not that anyone out there might find this relevant to book blogging but it was a crucial part of my week (and the next month) so I'm sorry in advance - you'll be hearing more about it I'm sure later on =)
Now back to some bookish type stuff! It's been a slow reading week for me. I try to at least post two book reviews a week but I just didn't get a chance to fully read and review a book for last Monday! Again I'm going to say, THERE JUST ISN'T ENOUGH TIME IN A DAY! Going forward for the month of June, while I'm in summer school, it looks like I'll be only getting to one book review a week :/ I'll try for two and hope for the best!

(FINALLY found a copy of this book! I'm sad that they changed the cover design though because now it doesn't match with the first two books in the series that I own!)
That's it for now lovelies♥ Let me know how your week went in the comments below ;)
AS ALWAYS,
HAPPY READING &SUNDAY!

Oh I loved Amy & Roger's Epic Detour!!! It was such a cute book - I hope you enjoy it and your other new books!!
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to Amy & Roger's Epic Detour! I've heard such great things about it & the cover is so pretty! Thanks for stopping by ♥
DeleteI am very curious about Whiskey Charlie. Working with oils sounds interesting I am sure you will figure it out. That picture is creepy..LOL Enjoy your week !
ReplyDeleteI remember reading the synopsis for it and being really enthralled! It's got quite a sad undertone too it and I feel like I want a good tear jerker so I picked it up! Many thanks to'ya for your sweet words! I will keep painting on ;P The mannequin head out of the rolling bin was terrifying! Happy Reading!
DeleteI want to read Amy and Roger's Epic Detour so bad! I looked for it at the bookstore yesterday and they didn't have it. I've also been wanting to try a Holly Black book because everyone seems to have great things to say about her. Last Year's Mistake looks really good and I hope you enjoy all of your books!

Holly Black's Curse Worker's Series was the only thing I've read of hers and I absolutely loved it! It had very unique characters and the plots were extremely entertaining! A lot of mob-type crime and love! I would definitely recommend it! Last Year's Mistake is SUCH a great teen contemporary! Amazingly written - with characters that are very true to real life ones! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteGreat haul! I have wanted to read Amy & Roger's Epic Detour for the longest time. Everyone seems to love Morgan Matson's books. Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteKrystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Amy & Roger's Epic Detour is available for order @ bookoutlet.com for REALLY cheap if you're still looking to pick it up ;P This is the first Morgan Matson book I'll be reading so I'm excited to find out if I love her! ;)
DeleteHello Sherry -- some interesting books you're adding to your stash. Thanks for including news of your REAL LIFE in your post. It's reassuring to see someone else say "There just isn't enough time in a day." Whenever there's anything extra happening, both reading and posting to the blog suffer.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your summer course work.
MUCH thanks! I will keep on trooping on through my course work! I'm glad someone out there was slightly interested with what was going on in my real life ;P Thanks for stopping by & I hope we both find some extra time for more reading!
DeleteI really want to read Amy & Roger's Epic Detour, I have heard such great things! ANd wow, that paint situation does not sound fun at all. This is why I am not crafty ;) Hope you enjoy the books and have a fabulous week!
ReplyDeleteShannon @ It Starts At Midnight
