Checking in!

Hi guys!

I'm back! Well, just for today. I thought I'd check in and tell you what I've been doing/reading/watching etc and see how you all are doing to!

Questions:

I've had a couple emails from people asking if/when I'd be back blogging, and the answers to those questions are YES and that'll happen on May 6th (very specific!) I have my blogging calendar all up to date! My first post back will be a review of Swimming at Night by Lucy Clarke (and I'm so organised that I still have that review to write!) Actually, I haven't written any reviews since mid-March. I'm so out of practice!

Writing:

I have been writing, though (my reason for taking this break), just not reviews. And here's what I'll say about my writing progress: slow but good, which is to say, I enjoy it when it happens, but it goes slow. I don't know how I ever completed NaNo that one time, because ever since I've been on a go-slow! Still, I get a little done every (well, most) days - which is better than nothing at all!

Reading:

I've been reading a lot during my break so I'll have a lot of reviews to share once I'm back (just have to write them first!) You can check out the books I've been reading on Goodreads and I usually update my Twitter account with the books I've been reading.

Here's are some of the books I'll be reviewing on my return:

Dance of Shadows by Yelena Black
Swimming at Night by Lucy Clarke
If I Should Die by Amy Plum
Down London Road by Samantha Young
The Beautiful and the Cursed by Page Morgan
Dead Silence by Kimberly Derting
The Day I Met Suzie by Chris Higgins
Parallel by Lauren Miller


I'll also be taking part in the blog tour for The Originals by Cat Patrick in May -- super excited to read that one!


Watching:

This blog break has been a great opportunity to catch up on some shows --I'm always SO behind. I'm still behind on The Vampire Diaries, but, is it just me, or has TVD gone a little off the boil this season? I dunno - I just can't seem to get into it. Maybe what I need is a marathon TVD session to re-ignite my obsession!

I've recently found a new show to obsess over. Thanks to Kim Harrington and Twitter I'm now obsessed with Bates Motel. Have you seen it? Check it out! I'm three episodes in, and I LOVE!

I also LOVE this new Man of Steel trailer. I've always been a Superman girl, and now that the delicious Henry Cavill is starring in the role I'm DEFINITELY a Superman girl! ;)

That's all from me for now. I'll be back on May 6th with a review of Swimming at Night (if I stick to my calendar!)
