I'm Going Away!!

24/3/2015

0 Comments

 
In the very anticipated arrival of my brother returning back from his 2 year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Adelaide, my family and I will be going away for about a week! It's been such a hectic rushing of preparation and setting up the pranks that I'd be blessing him with that I don't have enough time to do my Top Ten Tuesday, and I won't be able to do it for next week either 'cos I'll be on holiday <3<3<3

I just want to tell everyone to enjoy what they might be going through right now, whether it is holidays for you or you're trying something new or just going through the same old same old :) I wish you the best of luck! I will see you in two weeks (aahhh!) I'll also be bringing a LOT of books (About 7-10) for the drive up to where we will be on vacation, so there'll be plenty of new reviews for when I come back and two Top Ten Tuesdays! :) 

But let's be honest, I'll most likely be like this and my mum will shout and say, 'ASH, GET IN THE WATER AND ENJOY YOURSELF!!!'

And then I'll just roll my eyes and then roll a little further into the water.

Hey there!
Yes, I know that technically it IS Wednesday here in Australia, and yes, while this Top Ten is for your Spring list but in actuality it's Autumn here in Australia, so today it's just a big pile of a hot mess right now. 
I don't normally pile my lists into Seasons, I just read whatever is available or is on my 200+ TBR List (*Cries* I'm never going to get through it) so most likely I'll just be adding what is numbered on my TBR List for this Top Ten :P 

Here's my Top Ten Books on My Autumn TBR List!

Hey! 
Another spectacular Top Ten Tuesday here for you! It's actually pretty open-ended subject for this week so I decided on my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE genre, the mixture of Dystopian/Apocalyptic/Post-Apocalyptic.
I have no idea WHY these genres intrigue me so much, especially when it deals with so much death or hopelessness, but it does and that's why it has been chosen ;)

Review: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and Illustrated by Dave McKean

Hey there!
Look at me go, another review. I'm slaying it right now. 
Here's the spooooky blurby-blurb!

"After the grisly murder of his entire family, a toddler wanders into a graveyard where the ghosts and other supernatural residents agree to raise him as one of their own.

Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead. There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family . . . "

This book is actually so amazing - I thought it was just going to be another cute little children's novel but jokes, it's like all the other 'children's novels' that turned out to be all adult-like and makes you think about your life and have an existential crisis. 
*Whispers* Iloveit

- Beware the Spoilers that lurk beyond this Read More point. All who trespass must consent that they are willing to be spoiled, and if that leads to hysterical screeching and a ghostly visitation of Death I cannot be held responsible -
