So this week didn't start off to great as I was ill with one of those 24-hour bugs. Of course, that meant an extra day off work so I was productive and read. 

However, my week got better and on Tuesday I was back at work after my week off. And boy was I thrown back in the deep end or what. It was like everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong. But, on Tuesday night I did go round to my brother's house for a cuppy with my sister-in-law. It was a nice wee catch-up, because since they moved out it's been weird not seeing them every day.

On Wednesday, I went to The Enchanted Forest with my mum and a few friends. The Enchanted Forest is an outdoor light show in the middle of Faskally Wood near Pitlochry, in Perthshire. It was amazing! Just so beautiful! Unfortunately, I've not had time to put my photos onto the computer so I can't show you a couple yet.

The rest of the week was pretty quiet so I managed to get a bit of reading done. I also visited my brother and sister-in-law on Saturday night and drank some wine which resulted in us buying tickets to see Busted in February!

  1. Ugh, sick is no fun. Neither is going back to work and getting swamped- but sounds like your week was pretty good other than that. :) The Enchanted Forest sounds great! And Unnatural Deeds looks interesting.

  2. A DNF review seems like it would be tough to write! The Enchanted forest sounds so cool! Happy reading and have a great week! :D

    1. It is tough to write, but it's also a very short review so it doesn't take too long thankfully. The Enchanted Forest is amazing! I'm currently recommending it to everyone I speak to.

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 ...
