Week in Pictures

Ok ok ok... I've done a little sneaky thing and changed my Reading week in pictures to Week in pictures. I wanted to be able to sneak in some non-reading pictures and it was a difficult to do so under the Reading week in pictures umbrella :)



I bought some new specs! I bought 2 pairs actually. This is the more casual pair. The other ones I would wear more for work when I don't feel like wearing my contacts. I love these. They aren't normally what I'd choose but I just loved them when I tried them on. Here I am watching Ingrid on YouTube. I love listening to her in general so check her channel out if you're interested.



This was the second half of Sunday's breakfast - some blueberry yoghurt, coffee and Leo & Sarah on iPad Today. I like listening to iPad Today to discover new apps, hear about what's happening in the iPad/Apple world and, most of all, I just love listening to these two.


And what about the reading? Yes, I'm making my way through Annihilation. Luckily it's not a huge book so it shouldn't take too long to finish. I think I like it. But I'm still trying to discover what the whole point of the story is. You know how you can normally guess how the story will pan out... I'm still quite perplexed. Anyway... we shall see...!

On to the next week now!

Top Ten Tuesday (03/03): Top Ten Books You Would Classify As All Time Favourite Books

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . It's fun to do and interesting to read what other bloggers have to say as well! Join in the fun! Top Ten Books You Would Classify as ALL TIME FAVOURITE BOOKS From the Past 5 Years 1. The Night Circus   by Erin Morgenstern. This is the most recent in this list. I loved how Erin Morgenstern wove the story around the characters and the circus. She also has a wonderful writing style that just makes you see, smell, hear and feel what she is writing, like you're right there. I wrote a review on this here . 2. Where She Went  by Gayle Forman. I really enjoyed If I Stay  and literally bought and read Where She Went  straight after I finished it. I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did. This book is from Adam's perspective and he really does have a lot of sadness, doubt and anguish. Gayle Forman does a great job portraying Adam's feelings. Gut-wrenchingly beautiful, is al

Review: All That I Am by Anna Funder

All That I Am by Anna Funder My rating: 5 of 5 stars Blurb (from Goodreads): All That I Am is a masterful and exhilarating exploration of bravery and betrayal, of the risks and sacrifices some people make for their beliefs, and of heroism hidden in the most unexpected places. When eighteen-year-old Ruth Becker visits her cousin Dora in Munich in 1923, she meets the love of her life, the dashing young journalist Hans Wesemann, and eagerly joins in the heady activities of the militant political Left in Germany. Ten years later, Ruth and Hans are married and living in Weimar Berlin when Hitler is elected chancellor of Germany. Together with Dora and her lover, Ernst Toller, the celebrated poet and self-doubting revolutionary, the four become hunted outlaws overnight and are forced to flee to London. Inspired by the fearless Dora to breathtaking acts of courage, the friends risk betrayal and deceit as they dedicate themselves to a dangerous mission: to inform the British government

Top Ten Tuesday (24/02): Top Ten Heroines

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish . Join in the fun! Top Ten Heroines (in no particular order) 1. Ella  ( Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine). This was one of my favourite books as a child and Ella is just phenomenal. She's smart, witty and has a lot of guts. Plus she captures Prince Char's heart (I majorly fell in love with Char when I first read this book). I have to admit I wasn't a fan of the movie adaptation; a huge fail for me even though I adore Anne Hathaway. 2. Hermione Granger  ( Harry Potter series  by J. K. Rowling ) . Of course, what's a heroine list without Hermione. What would Harry do without Hermione? She's the brains in the famous trio and gutsy too.  3. Emma Donahoe  ( Dark Heavens trilogy by Kylie Chan). A devoted fan to this series (now into it's third trilogy). Dark Heavens  is the first and best of the three trilogies, with Emma being the kick-ass main character, putting
