Summer round up/books I have received this week.

Ok so Tuesdays is normally my top ten day but I wasn't keen on the topic this week so I decided to skip it! Since it is the start of term today I wanted to round up the books I have read over the summer. Also I didn't get chance to post a book haul/letterbox love this week so this is a combo post in place of my letterbox love post.

It's been a busy summer and a definitely didn't get as much chance to read as I thought I was going to. I was Ill at the start of the holidays and did a lot of socialising and driving in between times which don't lend themselves well to reading. I was lucky enough to attend two bookish events over the summer, the Random House Bloggers Brunch which I dragged myself out of bed for. We got some great books and I have reviewed two of them over the summer (Cross my Heart by Carmen Reid and Rolling Dice by Beth Reekles) as well as requesting others we were told about. 

I also went to the launch of Its Raining Men by Milly Johnson. This was a fantastic night, if a little hot and sticky and I got my copy signed as well as receiving a fabulous book bag and winning a marvellous massage during the raffle! 

I took part in a New Adult readathon, again I didn't read as many books as I thought I might, but I still managed to get through Fallen too Far by Abby Glines and On Dublin Street by Samantha Young.

Audiobooks were a great save for me this summer. I listened to A Good Girl Comes Undone by Polly Williams, The Secret Life of Evie Hamilton by Catherine Alliott and The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

 

All in all I read 20 books from when we broke up to going back to school today. Some of these were novellas, but I'm pretty pleased with 20! I'll list the ones i haven't already mentioned underneath and if their reviews have already been posted, you can click on the title to take you to that review. If there's still not a review then look out for it over the next couple of weeks!

Books I've received this fortnight

I've  been lucky enough to receive a few books for review this summer too. I've mentioned some of them as well as some of the ones I've bought, but I'm now on a book buying ban so I've been thrilled with the book post I've received! 

I received a paperback of Shades of Appley Green by Miriam Wakely and a gorgeous hardback copy of In Bloom by Matthew Crow both of which I am very excited about reading! 

In terms of Ebooks I received The Green Green Grass of Home by Emma Bennet straight from the Author, Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan and How to Win a Guy In 10 Dates by Jane Linfoot both from NetGalley

  

I also won a Copy of Shine Shine Shine by Lydia Netzer from the fabulous duo at Adventures with Words!

I was also lucky enough to win a £50 amazon gift card as well as £40 being given to The Moonbear Charity from the lovely generous author Helen Smith. If you haven't picked up any of Helen's books yet then you really should take a look at them! Once my book buying ban is up I am going to have so much fun with that gift card! I'll let you know what I buy...
