This week I've had a quiet week and a super busy weekend. I didn't do much during the week, but managed to get a fair bit of reading done. I also had a lonely day at work on Friday as I was the only one in the office for the majority of the day.

One Friday, I received an awesome email from Netgalley informing me that I have been auto-approved for Sourcebooks Fire! I couldn't believe it! It's my very first auto-approval and I swear I was cheesing all day. But this also means that I have to try and exercise a lot more control over the books I request.

I then had the hairdressers on Saturday morning so I had plenty of time to sit and read whilst getting my hair done. It was great uninterrupted reading.

Then on Saturday night, I had a night out with the girls. It got pretty messy and I felt it on Sunday, which is why this has been posted on Monday...

  1. Congrats on the auto approval! Glad it was a good week. I was curious about riders of the Purple Sage as my grandparents had a lot of those kinds of books around when I ws a kid, and titles like that seemed so evocative. But I've never actually tried one of those old westerns. :) Not sure I want to but I still fondly remember all those books.

    Red Queen seems to be getting a lot of good buzz.

    1. Thank you very much! I wouldn't say Riders of the Purple Sage was a great read and I'm not sure if I will try an old western again. But I'm glad I did.

      I've only just started Red Queen so can't really comment on it yet.

Discussion: The Problem With My Local Library

I used to use my local library all the time when I was in school.  Source I even spent every lunchtime in my school's library. My friends and I were pupil librarians and we practically had the run of the whole library. And then, when I started University, the only library I had time for was the University library. And that wasn't an enjoyable experience. However, last summer I started going to my local library again. (I then had to stop again when I got my job.) And unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed.  Source The availability sucks. I can deal with books I want that are already out on loan. It's the complete lack of decent books the library has on its system that gets to me. All those months I went to the library last year and I never left with a book that was already on my TBR. I walked around that place looking at my Goodreads trying to find any book on that list. And I couldn't find any at all (except for the Classics). To be honest, I ...
