June Wrap Up- PTA Sydney edition

Hey everyone!

I have had a busy month with uni exams going on and heading back home for my two week mid-semester break and now heading back to uni. I also went to Sydney for PTA Live once again! Last year there was only 50 or so of us in Kino but this year we almost filled a movie theatre, yep a movie theatre. 

It was great to catch up with all my blogging friends who live in Sydney and who I only see when I'm in Sydney for bookish events. Penguin Teen also did another fantastic event telling us about all the new and upcoming books that they are releasing later this year and early next. We also got to choose from three books to keep, I got my hands on The Cinderella Moment which I have already read.

I finally saw The Fault in Our Stars the other day, 2 and half weeks after being released in Australia because where I go to uni weren't showing it & then I was too busy until last weekend to see it. I loved it, a great adaptation of a brilliant book and I didn't cry as much as I thought I would!

Now onto all the lovely books I got this month!

  • Apple and Rain by Sarah Crossan

  • Undone by Shannon Richard- Kim had a copy of this ARC at work & didn't want it & saw that I wanted to read it on goodreads, gave me the copy at PTA Live.

June Wrap Up

Hey everyone! I went to write some posts earlier this week but my laptop decided to die on me, not very happy about this because I go back to uni today and I have to use the school laptop that was given to all year 9 public school students back in 2009! We don't get along very well, it has a habit of not working for me, but now it needs to last until October when the uni year is over.

So this month in June was a busy one for me, I finished my first semester of uni, came home for my three week holiday and went to the Penguin Teen Australia Live at Kino in Sydney! It was great fun for me because I finally got to met Kim and Kerrie from two girls and a novel and Jaz from fiction in fiction! Also earlier in the month Abbi Glines was in Australia, while I couldn't go to the event because I still had one final exam left, Kim who is amazing and is my spy friend (seriously just check out twitter we went crazy a few weeks back!) Got me two signed Abbi Glines books!!!!

So that is my massive June wrap up, as you can she I have been busy and hope to write some more posts this coming weeks because I now have a laptop to use and this semester should be better for me blogging wise, but then again it is silly season at college this term which means lots of events and ball too!
