Weekly Highlights; Slow Week Edition

Weekly Highlights is a new feature here at A Daydreamer’s Thoughts and will be a post highlighting things that happened on and off the blog. It is inspired by The Story Sirens In My Mailbox, Books, Biscuit and Tea’s Showcase Sunday, Kimba Caffeinated’s Sunday Post, and the British Letterbox Love.

In the feature I won’t mention everything I received, nor every post I wrote during the week but will simply feature a selection of things I wish to spotlight a second time around.

So, this week has been a very slow week for me. I have been incredibly busy the last few weeks and it meant that I barely had time to post which has, effectively, caused me to burn out. Thus, on monday I posted a semi-hiatus. The post can be found in full here. But it means that for the next few weeks my posting will be sporadic and slow but I’m still around!

This has been a fairly slow week for me on all parts but it’s probably about time that I slowed down anyway! I got just two new books this week.

Noble Conflict; Oh my am I excited to read this one! It has been all hush hush for ages but having found out about due to the proof, I am sooo excited for it! Thank you so much to Random House for this proof copy.

Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor; I have been itching to get my hands on this sequel and my request for it at the library finally arrived! I was very happy and I cannot wait to dig into it!
