Sunday Cravings
Hello Book Lovers all around the world! How have you been? Have you fully adjusted after the holidays? I just can’t do it I’m afraid… But I try my hardest 😛
This week is a little slow in the publishing world. Not many titles are scheduled for release, which is a rather good thing, because in the next couple of weeks, there are way too many interesting books to purchase! So, let’s start 🙂

The Sleep-deprived Winner Post
Hey Everyone!
Maybe it’s due to the grey snowy weather but this week it was pure torture getting up every morning 🙁 And since in my curiosity and enthusiasm to try out many things I signed up for a wedding planner course held every week on Sunday from 8 AM!! I won’t get any sleep this weekend either *yawns* Seriously, I have trouble understanding why anyone would put a class so early on the weekend (and since it’s at the other end of the city, I’ll have to get up 6:30 to get there in time). So the torture continues and what makes it even worse is that it is self-inflicted lol! I’m crazy I know. So I hope your weekend will be more restful than mine and that you’ll get some quiet time to relax a bit, and in my absence here are the lucky winners of this week:
Congratulations to
the …
