Books of This Fortnight and the coming Week...

Hello!!

I've missed this feeling!

I'm so sorry I've not posted in about 2 weeks...I had my GCSE RS Mock, which thankfully went really well, but at the same time I've had internal exams, and loads of revision to do!

I hope you noticed that, although I didn't have the time to post these last few weeks, I have been furiously updating my Goodreads Account, so you might want to check that out - If I'm not posting, I'll still be updating Goodreads ☺

I've got through a lot of books that have been sitting waiting for me to read them (you'll be pleased to know ☺) and so I'm dedicating this week to books!

Anyway, enough with my waffling - lets get on! This is everything I've read since January 26th ☺

Zelah Green, Queen of Clean by Vanessa Curtis (4/10)

To Read:

If you take a look at my Goodreads account, you'll see all the books I want to read, and where I got all my books from - most are from libraries!

I haven't got some of these books yet - they're on reserve at the library, or in the post or something, but I will be able to read them all in the coming week ☺

Image Edits of the Week

 I'm really making use of the new Photoshop I have on my computer, so here are my favourite 3 edits of this week:

1. Doctor Who, from 'The Doctor's Daughter'

 

2. Doctor Who, from 'Journey's End'

3. Downton Abbey's Lady Mary Crawley (not sure which episode)

So, that's about it. I'm going to go and revise Chemistry...again...

This Week...

Hello!!

It snowed! Yay! It also explains the lack of posts this week due to...snow!!!

Oh My Goodness. I love the snow! However, someone from our local council has gritted all the roads, so I cannot claim snowed-in-ness to get a snow day off school! Such woe!!

Anyway, onto this week's books TV and Radio:
