Today In My Mail

I think it's been a while since I last wrote a post about one of my favorite authors and I'm pretty sure that by now, those who read this blog or visit my Goodreads page, know that my favorite author ( at least my favorite realistic romance fiction author ) is Katie McGarry. I absolutely love her books and I've read everything she has written. 

So, you can imagine that,  every time I hear there's any sort of giveaway on her site, I'm one of the first persons to click on it and make sure that I take part in it - no matter the chances. Ever since I was a kid, I loved to participate in all the giveaways I ever heard about, but I would never win. But this time - like the last time I received something from Katie Mcgarry - the giveaway was on a first come, first served basis. 

So, if you're wondering what it was that I received, wait no more! It was two beautiful ribbons and a bookmark with the covers of all the books she's published. The bookmark is really nice and useful, but what I truly wanted & what I really love is the ribbons. Both of them have very powerful messages which are extremely meaningful for me, and I especially loved the purple one - purple is my favorite color & the quote on it is one of my favorites.

     Hey, everyone! I know that it's Sunday today but this isn't a post of a review or a favorite book. Due to the fact that I was very busy last month with my exams, I wasn't able to read too much and my reading routine was pretty much ruined, unfortunately. However, I do have some time off now - finally. I want to get back on track with my reading and so, I decided to buy a couple books and get started for the summer.

     I read The Fault in Our Stars a while ago and absolutely loved it, so I quickly became interested in John Green's work. I heard about other novels of his and decided that I wanted to check those out as well so I ordered them online. I bought An Abundance of Katherines (left picture) and Looking for Alaska (right picture).

      I will be leaving on a trip tomorrow but I will be sure to bring at least one of the two books with me to read whenever I have some free time. I heard various opinions of these books, some people loved them while others hated them. I hope that I will like them as much as I liked The Fault in Our Stars because I'm running out of favorite books to post! :)
