UPDATE: A Break from Blogging

I'm sure most of you know by now that Chami is doing her final year of school. Her exams are about to start, so naturally she's not going to be active around here.

There will be a few of you who will already know this (and I couldn't have made it through this past week without you), but I lost my beautiful mum to cancer yesterday. As you can probably guess, I'm not really feeling up to blogging right now.

I don't know how long this break is going to be for, but I've been looking into get some people to do a few guest posts so that this blog isn't completely inactive so we'll see how that turns out. There are already a few posts scheduled, so I hope you enjoy them.

Thank you.

UPDATE: Ely's Computer Woes

Hi Guys!

I'm sorry that the posts have been non-existent around here lately- unfortunately, my laptop has died and I'm currently working on getting a new one, though it's taking long than I had originally hoped! I should be back by next week, hopefully! But until then I'll only be posting things when I get time to sneak onto my mum's computer (like now). I hope to see you all when I get back properly and I hope you all have a wonderful week!

UPDATE: Crazy times and upcoming posts and breaks

Hello Everyone!

Firstly I want to apologise for Chami and I's absolute lack of activity lately. Despite it being our Easter break for the past two weeks, we've both been crazy busy with all sorts of things. However, this update is going to inform you guys about the sorts of things we've got planned for the next couple of weeks. I will actually be taking a three week break from Saturday the 13th until the end of the month, as I'm hosting an exchange student from France and will be unable to post things during that time. I will still be reading lots (currently I've made it through 7 and a half books from my crazy 25 book TBR list for this month) and also scheduling lots of posts, which I'm about to tell you about!

These aren't in any order by the day they'll be posted or in any other order to be quite honest.

Review of Stolen by Lucy Christopher
April book discussion on re-reading
Book haul- library books, new books etc.
Book and mini-series review of Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks
Review of The Gatekeeper's Daughter by Eva Pohler
Review of The Emerald Tablet by Joshua Silverman
Updated bookshelf tour
New series and sequels of May 2013
Standalones of May 2013
New segment focuses on certain genres

So that's what you can look forward to from me for the rest of the month. I hope you enjoy those posts and I will see you all in May :)

Heading Off!

Hello dear blog readers,

I just wanted to post this today to let you know that I will be disappearing off the blog for a few days as I am going on a trip upstate for a couple of days. I'll actually be seeing 'Mousetrap' which is a play by Agatha Christie (which some of you may know to be one of my top 3 favourite authors), as well as a few others things so hopefully I'll be able to pick up some books to show you guys once I get back.

Despite both Chami and I being away, this blog will still be active. Some of Chami's scheduled posts still remain, though sadly I didn't get time to schedule any of my own. Once I return, I will have a couple of reviews (possibly even of the Mousetrap, itself) and whatnot that I've been building up to post.

I hope you all have a wonderful couple of days and I'll see you when I get back!

x Ely
