- I wasn’t on the blog tour but feel that it is appropriate to put here, I hosted a giveaway for a copy of the brilliant The Second Love of My Life by Victoria Walters and let me tell you this book should be on your summer reading list.
Book vs. Film:
Challenges:
- As per usual I’m participating in the Goodreads Challenge. I’ve pledged to read 100 books! And so far have managed to read 36 books. So I’m an incredible four books ahead of schedule!
- This year I am participating in the movie musical challenge hosted by Bookish Whimsy. I only to watched one musical this month – the brilliant The Gay Divorcee with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, love this dance partnership, and the songs and this is a gorgeous gorgeous film so if you haven’t already, go watch.
- I participated in Dewy’s 24 Hour Readathon which I was really unprepared for and ended up only reading two books and having a early night. But I really enjoyed it and seeing all what everybody else was reading and it was quite social. I’m looking forward to the next readathon and hopefully I will be more prepared!
