Weekly Highlights; The First Linky Edition
Weekly Highlights is a 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.
Post Highlights
So it’s been two weeks since my last Weekly Highlights as last week I had two posts already scheduled for that Sunday and my Monthly Highlights going up the day after too. So instead, I’m cramming the last two weeks into this post.
Also, I’ve added a linky to this post so that if you want to or already do participate in Weekly Highlights or a similar meme, you can add it to the linky and I’ll make sure to visit your blog!
But for now…
I posted TWO reviews this week;
A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab (FIVE HEARTS)
Seven Days by Eve Ainsworth (THREE HEARTS)
I wrapped up the month. Find out what I read and what I thought about each book, in this post.
I posted an update on blogging and on my life right now. Read what is happening, here. Alongside with this, I also have some sad news to announce in this post. Scroll down for more info.
I announced my first (sort-of) Blogger Spotlight! Find out who it is and how wonderful they are, here.
I had the wonderful Eve Ainsworth on the blog for her blog tour, telling us all where she loves to write. Read her fab post by clicking here.

Letterbox Love
This week has been fairly good for books, I only acquired three. I’m very glad about this as I really need to read more and acquire less!
The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson; This one sounds super intriguing and exciting. I’m very much looking forward to diving into it. Many thanks to Tor for the review copy.
These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Megan Spooner; I have heard SO MANY good things about this book so when I was offered it for review, I simply couldn’t say no! Very much looking forward to reading this one, finally.
The Butterfly Club by Jacqueline Wilson; Ahhh! Jacqueline Wilson’s newest book! I love the sound of this one and am so glad to have this copy in my hands. I look forward to reading this one next month. Many thanks to Caroline and Random House for this copy!
Currently Reading
I read a few books at a time so I have decided that I want to showcase them a little on the blog and so from now on I thought I would tell you all what I’m currently reading (on Saturday/Sunday!)
This week I am currently reading;
And there you have it, my Weekly Highlights!

I’m so curious about Brandon Sanderson; I only hear praise about his books but I’m a little daunted by them too! Looking forward to seeing what you think of it.

I’ve heard good things so I have high hopes. I’ll try to remember to let you know! :)

So many lovely books! I’ll be checking out several, including The Sin Eater’s Daughter and Obsession In Death.
I’ll hop on over and comment on your review books post. I mentioned it in my Sunday Post and didn’t get back over there. LOL

Thanks, you definitely should check both out! Almost finished with Sin-Eater and it is super exciting and just under halfway through Obsession and it’s getting quite addictive!
Many thanks for the link! :)
