Weekly Highlights; The “I’m Back” 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.
Post Highlights
So, as you may have noticed, I gave myself a month off in July. I posted like a storm during the NA Read-a-thon but aside from that the blog was just filled with guest posts and interviews. But, now that we’re in the month of August, I am happy to reveal that I will be back to posting as I once did. =]
I have posted ONE review this week;
All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill (FIVE HEARTS)
On Friday I did a Faye’s Thoughtful Friday and wrote a post about my move to WordPress to help other bloggers to make the decision to switch or stay with Blogger. Check it out here.

Bloggish Events
So the month of July has actually been a bit crazy busy for me and half the reason for this is because I went to quite a few blogging events – and celebrated my birthday with some bloggers too – and it’s been really great! The events I went to were;
Cassandra Clare Signing
This was a really fun event that I went to with Caroline, Jess and Debbie.
Young Movella’s Award Ceremony
A beautiful ceremony and it was great to catch up with some publishing people.
My Birthday
Went for a dinner with a few book bloggers and it was just a really great night. Loved getting to know them all a bit more!
RHCP Blogger Brunch
Loved hearing about all of the upcoming titles, being a part of the Lauren Kate UK trailer, and chatting with bloggers and publicists!
James Dawson Launch
A great evening with authors and bloggers alike, lovely to see so much support for James’ new book!
Letterbox Love
And there you have it, my Weekly Highlights!
I hope to visit all posts of this manner, so feel free to link to your own IMMs, Sunday Showcase, Sunday Posts, Letterbox Loves or whatever it is you do below!

Yay Outtakes! Make me so happy :D I think your TBR pile is a good idea, and it was cool watching you unveil it! I’m considering making one, but not sure how I feel if I get a book I’m not in the mood for :S

Put it back in and choose another? :p!
I have all my books, so I decided if I pick out the third in a series but haven’t read second I’ll either repick or read the second! Lol.
