August 2014 Book Haul

Hey fellow book lovers. :D I Am SO sorry for my huge absence over the last month or so - at first things were going badly, and then all of a sudden hundreds of things started happening at once. I've been seeing friends, and I've just started two courses so I can go back and take my Maths and English GCSE's as I never managed to take them at school. So everything is really hectic and I've had a lot of work to do and there's really been no free second for me to do anything really at all! I am however, still working on my new blog, I've nearly finished editing everything and I hope to have everything public very soon, but I can't promise you when. On top of all that, I've barely read ANYTHING over the last two months, which is really irritating - but hopefully eventually I'll start up again. I think I've just been in a huge reading slump. Anyways, that's it for today, I'll try and update again very soon - but until then, take care guys!

July 2014 Book Haul

Hey fellow book lovers. :) How are you all doing? I've finally made the plunge into the deep end, and I'm moving to Wordpress! :D I've already brought my domain and hosting, and I'm working on the blog and all the coding now. It'll probably take a few weeks to get everything how I want it, but I'm really excited about the whole thing. :) I'm no longer going to be called The British Book Nerd, but something completely different, but I'm not going to reveal it just yet. ;) I'm probably going to be pretty absent for a few more weeks; at least until I've finished the new blog, and have moved everything across. Then I hope to be posting more frequently, and have some different, more interesting posts up! You guys have been amazing about my rather long leave of absence, and I love you guys. So for now, enjoy the book haul - I got some amazing looking books! ^.^

June 2014 Book Haul

Hey book nerds! :D I'm feeling like I may need to come up with a more interesting way to start these posts. If any of you have some funny suggestions, let me know and I'll try them out. :P I hope you're all doing well! I've been reading like crazy lately, I read one and a half books yesterday - I couldn't believe how fast I zoomed through them. :) I've also started reading and writing Fanfiction again! I used to read Fanfiction constantly, but haven't for a while. I've also written a lot in the past, but it's been years since I posted anything. I've just started a new Harry Potter Fanfiction and I've gotten two chapters posted, I'm very pleased with myself. :3 Anyway, that's it for today - I hope you all enjoy this post and video and I'll talk to you guys again soon! ^.^

Books, glorious books! :D Does anyone else get creepily excited about the thought of showing off their new books? Or is it just me? :P Either way, I love to show you all the books I've gotten recently, it's so fun. I think it's probably one of my favourite posts to do. :3 I'm so excited about all of these books, and I've heard nothing but awesome thinks about all of them. I really can't decide which I'm most excited to read. However, I have already read The Elite! I read The Selection, the first book in the trilogy the day before yesterday, and I just HAD to continue on with the series and pick up The Elite, even though it's really supposed to be at the bottom of my TBR... ^^; I finished it already last night, and loved it - and I NEED to get my hands on the third and final one. I feel so blessed to have been able to get all of these books, and for so cheap as well! (only a few pounds each, bargain!) They're all so pretty as well, I mean, LOOK at those covers! :D I just can't seem to get enough of them. Have you read any of these books? Let me know! ^.^
