author meets, giveaways and not enough reading

holy heat, batman.  Don't get me wrong, I love the heat. But this is a bit much; esp when the AC in the house doesn't work to the point that when you turn it on, the house gets warmer. Sigh. even the puppies are melting. 

It was a crazy month, like usual. For some weird reasons. Time seemed to go quickly, for the most part. Though it was an emotional month so blame that ?

Alright, let's get down to business

(without any huns) 

The more I add to my TBR, the less I read... I swear, I'm cursed. 

This month included: 

- Daughter of Darkness

- Immortal Reign (finally!) 

- Artemis Fowl: the Lost Colony 

- Glass Sword 

- the Last Guy 

- Royal Player 

- Dead Boyfriend 

- Nowhere else but here by Rachel Cotton (Via Netgalley) 

I'm in the middle of 3 since my brain cannot focus this past week (King's Cage, AF: the time paradox, and enchantment of ravens) 

and finished 4 for Summer Eve's Reviews (p.s. Mr Masters was amazing) 

so not an awful month, with 12 completed, but not what i wanted by far. 

this puts me at 79/200. hmph.  So behind on reviews too, eek. 

I met Victoria Aveyard this month and it was fantastic! I mean, the event itself was unorganised (by the store/staff) and when the staff was trying to entertain the crowd, she didn't even know the characters (who the heck is Mark Barrows) and I was so uncomfy standing like a sardine in the middle of the room that I debated on leaving but ... even being the 154th person to get my book signed, it was worth it, eventually.  My collection of signed books is growing slowly! 

My home life is kinda falling apart so who knows what life is going to look like within the next few weeks but! I still have goals. (kinda) 

* finish up my 3 current reads 

- fangirl 

- raven king 

- thousand nights 

- art of racing in the rain (anyone else see this is becoming a movie?) 

- Obsidio 

- ACOFAS (*happy dance*) 

- as old as time 

- darkest part of the forest 

and I have 2 for TDC that are technically due in may (though I never put them on the calendar, oops) and 2 due in June. Plus a few for Summer's Eve Reviews.   Let's hope these all keep my attention since work is just. so. slow! 

JUNE IS ALSO MY TWO YEAR BLOGAVERSARY ! hurray ! 

I'll be doing a giveaway of sorts 

so keep an eye on my twitter and IG
maybe facebook too but no one ever looks at that thing ;) 

Like i said earlier, everything is kinda falling apart at home. The pups are good though which is always nice. Though the new guy *hates* the rain and since it's rainy season he's all anxious and needy. Honestly, boy. He's lucky he's stinkin' cute! anyone have anxious pets? how do you help them when they have to be home alone? (soon the other dogs won't be around to help him) 

Work has been slower than I was expecting (and lots of cancellations which is just rude.)  I've been spending more time with my nieces/nephew though, which has been fun. Kids are weird though. It's hard not to laugh or just walk away.. :p 

My best friend keeps going on vacations and doesn't smuggle me with her. what even is the point of having friends, i ask you. but she's home now and I get to see her this weekend when I go back to my "hometown" (which sounds so stupid but its a decent hour drive on the highway and some days the traffic makes it feel like another country. stupid toronto traffic...)


I think that's it for May! 


here's the bookhaul <3 

   (though a few last minute buys are missing; found the most amazing bookstore up in parry sound and i'm in love. need to go back asap)
