Donations and Giveaways

Yes, I am aware that this is my third post today within less than an hour. Sorry about that.

This time I am telling you that I have set up a donation button. You can see it on the top left-hand side there. Basically, if you make any donations they will go towards giveaways. And occasionally, if I have been asked by you lot, to review a specific book I will possibly buy it from donations. Though I won't do that a lot. Or maybe not even at all.

So, basically, your donations will go towards giveaways. If you make a donation maybe you'd like to email me about giving away a specific book? You can find my email address in the Review Policy part of my blog.

If you would like more giveaways but can't afford to donate money, or don't want to (I understand both there,) you can help get more giveaways by clicking the Ads that you see on the sides of the page. Every time you click an add I get a tiny bit of money for it, once that money gets to £60 I can receive it in check form. And have some giveaways.

Thank you if you do donate or click on the ads. I understand if you don't. Thank you anyway. :)

I FORGOT!!!!!

Delirium stories, the paperback that includes Anna, Hana, and Raven, was published the other day! How could I forget!!!!! I am in dire need of this book. I mean, I've read Hana, and there is a review of it on this blog, but I haven't read the other two yet. And I mean, to own them in paperback. I...just can't believe I forgot!!!!!!
Now the question is whether I can afford it at the moment or not... Sigh.

Just an update...

Sorry I've been a bit MIA these past few days. I've been reading about 15 books at once and not really finishing any. Except for book one and two in the Experiment in Terror series, but I decided to not write reviews for them. Although I did really enjoy them and I would recommend them.

What have you guys been reading lately?

You can browse my currently reading list here.

I've been thinking up some giveaways for the future lately. Mostly eBook and eVouchers because it's cheaper and then I can do international giveaways. It is hard to choose what to giveaway though, and I have to put my own money into it. I'm thinking about setting up a donation thing on the side. Would you guys donate money to the blog? For more giveaways and things. I mean, obviously you don't have to, I'm still going to try and do giveaways but it would create a chance for more giveaways and things.

Happy reading.
Claire. :)

Never Too Far (Too Far #2) by Abbi Glines

There may be slight spoilers for the first book in this review, though I doubt it, but I thought I'd warn you anyway.

Everything she had known was no longer true.

Now, she was back home and learning to live again. Moving on with life… until something happened to send her world spinning once again.

Who would I recommend it to? Those who have read and liked the first

Review; I loved this book. But, just, not quite as much as the first. But I only liked it slightly less.

I'm not really sure what I didn't like so much about it. I don't think there were as many swoony scenes, and it felt a bit rushed, I guess.

Now, don't get me wrong, like I said, I still loved it, and I did read it within about 5 to 7 hours. I guess, it just felt slightly predictable. Like, I totally saw some of it coming, and the relationship went so quickly considering they'd known each other for, like, four months. It was unrealistic, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the book.

I rate books based on enjoyment, mostly, and so this book still gets the full five stars from me, and if you liked the first book I'd totally recommend this to you, and I'm also really excited that there's going to be a third Blaire and Rush book because I just love them both so much, and now I'm rambling.

This book was enjoyable. I loved it and it definitely kept my attention. I didn't put it down once, even in the car, when the reading was straining my eyes, so, it's obvious that I liked it, and I could definitely reread this book.

I'd recommend it to those who have read, and liked, the first.
