Isn't the world awesome this week? Oh and can Trump stay in Scotland ? No? Well I tried. lol seriously though whenever I hear this doomsday stuff I think well, yeah but... at least I don't live in the time of no medicine or the Black Plague and stuff. I mean the world's always been kind of a mess, right? I'm sure the UK will survive this.

I didn't read much this week either, don't feel bad. It happens. Maybe this week will be better? I'll bet you can't wait for Orlando. :)

I've decided I'm going to live in a bubble for awhile. Everything is so negative and so end of days and just so loud that it's exhausting. That's why I like book blogging. We get to focus on books! The Shakespeare play sounds really fun! I've been really impressed with some of the school performances that I've gone too. It's hard to believe that children can be so talented. Have a great week!

Your week has been absolutely full! I applaud you for standing up for what you believe in, I'm still unsure about all that's actually happened because things here in the US are on a cliffs edge. I'm kind of hoping that y'all would've kept Trump, hair and all LOL! Enjoy your week and happy reading!

Us Scottish people could've predicted the hate and bile since the vote, as it happened during the IndyRef vote too. What hacks me off is the Remain's scaremongering has people thinking all non UK citizens are going to be deported tomorrow & no foreigners will be allowed in, which is rubbish. I also hate hearing the young slagging off older voters who can remember us doing perfectly well without the damn EU interfering! Brexit voters are suddenly racists and idiots, which infuriates me, as does the Remain view that we should ignore the result because they don't like it. If they had won, they would've been furious at the suggestion of a rerun by Leave! I blame the politicians on both sides for the lies and personal attacks which had infected the country and will cause another Indyref. I'm so sick of voting on stuff! I wish it would all just go away!

Sorry you guys had to deal with the Donald. Sure you didn't need him there after all the craziness after the vote. But glad you appreciate his hair :)Wow great haul - especially Nevernight!! Enjoy and have a great week!

Man your week sounds absolutely packed Heather, hope this week is a bit quieter for you so you can get some reading in :) We have an election coming up in Australia this Saturday, so it seems like a lot of voting seems to be happening in June/July. Nothing as major as your recent one though.

Ha! Did you manage to catch a glimpse of Trump?

Oh the pressure of what book for the plane..epp. I packed a book, an audiobook and my kindle..hehe. Congrats to your children and the Shakespeare Rocks sounds delightful! Have a wonderful week!

You can keep Trump if you like. Ha ha. Yay for Nevernight! Maybe we can buddy read it. The covers of the Christopher Fowler books are awesome. I am going to look up their summaries. Have a wonderful week. :)

Ooops I thought I commented. Mayhaps it is held in moderation? Congrats to kids and the Shakespeare Rocks sounds like it was fun.

I'm sorry you had to go through all this. I hope things get better for you and your family. Here’s my Sunday Post!

I always plan my holiday reads before my holiday clothes too! I think everyone is worried about the UK leaving the EU as it's unprecedented so we just don't know what to expect. But yay for a great ARC to lighten the heavy mood :)

Congrats to your kids for their awards! But yes, what to read on the plane is definitely higher ranking that what to wear ;-)

You got some really interesting looking books this week! And I'm excited for Saga too! Have a great week :-)

Tee hee - laughed at your Donald Trump comment... and yes, changes are certainly afoot in world politics at the moment, aren't they. We've also got our national elections here in Australia this coming weekend.

Congrats to your kids on their awards and the concert sounds great. I suspect they're looking forward to the upcoming break!

Haha at the Trump comment. I think the big unknown about what will happen with the economy and so on which will affect jobs, and that there is a group of those that voted to leave that seem to have admitted that they now regret it, kind of rubs people the very wrong way. Which I do really get. But that doesn't mean you should cut people out of your life. Whatever happened to normal discussions?

Congrats to your babies for being so talented and entertaining!
I am really curious to see what being out of the EU means for the UK. What is it actually going to change. I imagine if I lived there I would be very informed about it and have my own opinion, but I don't really know if it is a bad or a good thing with the little information I have right now. I wish you would do a post about it. Or not, since it is such a private thing.
I am also really excited to have Nevernight! I totally missed out on Gemina, and I was right there, at BEA, where copies were being handed out. That is just sad. I also have in the back of my mind that I NEED to hardcover version of the book to sit next to Illuminae on my shelf. So there's that.
I am really curious about the Christopher Fowler books you got. I'll be looking for those reviews, so hurry up on that okay. Thanks!
Have a great week Heather!

It sounds like you had a busy, but fun week with the end of the year activities your kids had. That's great you got an arc you really wanted.
I saw a lot about the UK and EU on social media and it's really frightening how passionate people get about it, no matter which side they voted. Guess we'll see what happens next and how it impacts things.
Enjoy your new books and have a great week!

haha you're welcome to keep Trump for longer if you like! ;) Yay for your kids winning awards and that Shakespeare Rocks performance sounds like a ton of fun!!

I LOVE the Saga grahpic novels. I can't wait for the 6th volume. So soon!

Sometimes you just need a little extra sleep! Nothing wrong with that! I hope you love Nevernight! I plan to read it soon too! :D

Here's my Weekly Recap!

Brexit gets me so angry you don't even want to start the argument with me because I'll just go on and on about it and rant like crazy! But I do hope the end of term goes well for you and your kids :D

That's super exciting that you got Nevernight as well, it's such a beautiful ARC! Yeah, I heard about the Brexit and it's pretty scary about all the changes that would be happening. Wow, the next version of Saga is out so quickly!
