Hello, me dears! We had an incredible balmy week, and I'm just amazed how so much happier I feel with a little bit of sun. We had a smashing day out yesterday in Conwy, Wales. Just look at this...
Yep, honest to God medieval castle in the background!

Thanks to Carina Press!Physical goodies
I'm so very excited about them!Won
Thanks to Birgit and Glenn Kleier! You can guess from the title that there is plenty of theology, mysticism and religion in this one, and I love books like that, that really make you think.Bought
Bought it from Fishpond.com under £3 - pure bargain!The Works is selling trade paperbacks of Wither for £1.99, so make a note anyone in UK and run to the shop. It was an excellent bargain, and a book I wanted to read for ages.
For review
My prrrecious! Thank you, Bloomsbury UK!Kindle Freebie

I also have some lovely books to choose from if you haven't entered my giveaway yet. It's international and ends on 31st of May.

Yay, you already received the (delayed) book! Can't wait to hear how you like it!!
I have to confess I am enjoying the recent sunshine revival in the UK as well but I haven't ended up anywhere as gorgeous as that yet!!
You have Throne of Glass!! I'm soooo jealous! Have just finished tha third novella and can't wait for the book release!!
Birgit, I know! I didn't expect it to arrive so fast after your email :)
Mel, believe it or not Conwy is only hour and a half drive from us. We have to venture out Stoke more often especially in this weather. It was amazing! Hope you'll go out somewhere nice too!
great pictures! Enjoy! I need to read the second one in the Stacia Kane series, I'm soo late! I really need more time to read lol. Happy reading!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Looks like you had lovely weather like we did. I really need to get to Wales more often.
Great books this week, I really need to start reading Stacia Kane's books, they sound so good.
Nice pictures!!! Medieval castle!! O_O
And great haul this week. That cover for Throne of Glass is seriously epic! I love it! And Witch Song has been on my shelf for ages I should get to that soon!
I'm soooo excited about Throne of Glass! It sounds fantastic. Love all your pictures as well!
OOoh lovely pictures!!
Hearing a lot about Throne of Glass and seeing it too! Like the UK cover much better than the US one.
Hope you enjoy all your new reads!
Here's my STS
Have a GREAT weekend!
Old Follower :)
Thanks for my weekly eye-candy fix. I love the picks of you and your family..looks like fun! Wow did you get a nice haul of books..I cannot wait for some of these reviews! Thanks for commenting on The Sunday Post
Wow that first eyecandy pic..wow
A lot of people got Throne of Glass this week, I'm jealous! It looks awesome. And I like the cover for Asher's Invention. Happy reading and thanks for stopping by! :)
What you doing in Wales? Come visit meeee ;)
Oh I went to The Works this week as well, they didn't have Wither though. The Chaos Walking trilogy and all but Uglies of the Scott Westerfeld series, however.
Isn't the Throne of Glass ARC gorgeous? Glad you got one too! :)
Aww, according to Google you are 4 hours drive away from me, Hannah! ;) I would love to visit, but it has to be overnight thingy. Hubby needs to be persuaded, accomodation sorted and that kind of thing :) but hey, I am all up for it, it would be awesome to meet! :))) On the other hand if you want to come to us, you're welcome. We've got a spare bedroom you can stay in and some gorgeous places to visit around Derbyshire. *hugs*
Chelsey, it was that cover that made me request the book. Something is really cool about it :)
Blodeuedd, lol! I've rendered you speechless! ;) It's a pretty awesome photo of him. Smoldering, even!
Kimba, I know! I love the excuse of looking at all these gorgeous eye-candies for my Sunday posts :)
Jessica, Lori, Giselle, I love that cover. Epics is definitely one word that comes to mind straight away!
Michelle, Melliane, do start Stacia Kane's books. They are some of the best YA series I've ever read. Full of awesome.
Wither!! I love love LOVED that book and, even though I know that a lot of people tend to have mixed feelings on it, I really hope it's worthy of your favourites shelf like it is for me! :) Also, that place IS gorgeous (just like this week's eye-candy!) -- isn't the nice weather just perfect? We're having it here in Canada too and I'm glad it's spreading around the world! ;)
Amazing mailbox this week, Karina! I hope you have a just as lovely week! :) <3
A nice haul this week and nice eye candy :)
My recap - http://obsessionwithbooks.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/sunday-post-27th-may.html
Have a nice week & thank-you for stopping by my blog :)
Great haul! I´m so jealous that you got Throne of Glass.
Happy reading!
My IMM
I don't know which I'm more jealous of.... your beautiful day out on Conwy or your copy of Throne of Glass!! I guess I'll just remain jealous of Conwy and then come steal TOG :P DYING to read that, it looks so effing BADASS!!!! Wither is fantastic. Beautifully written, but a haunting story.
Awesome week, hope you enjoy!
And oh swoon. You know how to bring the sexy. You really do.
Brodie, you made me giggle! ;)) *I'm bringing sexy back* and I'm looking forward to reading Wither, so many people I know said that it's awesome!
Adriana and Sharon, thank you! Throne of Glass is a priority read now ;)
Mimi, I'm really glad Canada is enjoying the sunshine too! It makes everything better, doesn't it? I hope we'll come to BC to visit our cousin next year :) I'm dying to see Canada!
Very nice darling. Love the UK cover for Throne of Glass. Waiting to see if I get approved for the galley. Very nice.
Grace
Gorgeous pictures! And awesome books as well. :) I still need to read Wither! It's on my list. lol
Enjoy!
Wait, Derbyshire? How did I not know this when I was living in LEICESTERSHIRE pre-December!! >.< *flail* Perhaps when I'm able to pop back home, hey? :D
Oh my goodness, book AND man-candy?!?!??! Love, love, love this combo! First time visiting your blog but I'll DEFINITELY be back! :D
Grace, I know! UK cover rocks! ;)
Christy, as soon as I saw Wither I knew I had to buy it for that price. Gorgeous cover as well.
Hannah, we are in Staffordshire, but Derbyshire is 20 min away so that doesn't count :) Let's see who gets closer first - us in Wales or you in Lecestershire then we'll definitely meet up!
Pushy, lol, man candy is good for the soul, so I'm treating myself every Sunday :)
Sacrificial Magic is AMAZING! Happy reading, Book Savvy Babe
Conwy Castle! Reminds me of Finnikin of the Rock! Great pictures! You're gorgeous! :) And oh man, Ben Hill.. I need a minute!
Aww, Eva! Thank you! I love castles, and this one was such a beautiful landmark!
Heather, I can't wait to read more about Chess and Terrible! They are such a great couple and Downside Ghosts is one of the best UF series out there!
Amazing Pictures dear! Looks like a lovely trip you made. :)
I just bought Sacrificial Magic yesterday. :)
