Monthly Summary - April 2015

Books I have read this month:
Books bought:
Zilch, nothing, nada!  I made it through a whole month without buying any books at all! I can't believe it!

Books borrowed:


So far this year I have read 16 books.

My TBR is sitting at 274 books.

It's been quite a busy month for me.  I started a new job!  It's only part-time and temporary but hey at least it's experience for getting a full-time, permanent position.  Therefore, I am now working to part-time jobs so I'm still trying to find a nice balance with my time.  I also had a few family parties which are always great.  It's nice seeing all the cousins together as we all have jobs, university, school etc so it's nice to have a catch up.  There was also the added bonus of vodka gummy bears which in hindsight were quite lethal (especially with work the next day...).

    1. Yeah, it has been quite good. Didn't get as much reading done as I hoped but starting a new job definitely reduced my reading time!

  2. I hope you like The Green Mile. It’s one of my favorite books ever.

    1. I'm actually struggling to find time to read it before I have to take it back now :( It's been my mum's favourite movie for ages (she doesn't read) so I've seen the movie more times than I can count and love it myself. So fingers crossed I can find the time.

Feature and Follow (29 May)

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of  Parajunkee’s View  and Alison of  Alison Can Read . Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs! I'm one of the featured blogs this week! Along with Amanda of  The Darling Bookworm . This week’s Question: How many books have you got on your TBR list? I recently had a bit of a cull of my TBR list so now it is sitting at 269. I'm trying my hardest to get it below 200 by the end of the year but I really don't see it happening. I'd currently be happy if I managed to get it below 225. However, I did recently have a look through my TBR on Goodreads and deleted a few books that I don't think I will actually ever read - I'm not even to sure how they got there anyway. Follow me via  Goodreads ,  Facebook ,  Bloglovin  and  Pinterest  and also via email to myexpandingbookshelf@gmail.com.  Feel free to leave a comment.
