I am going on a holiday!

So it's rolling around to that time of year again when I need a holiday. Now being me that holiday will be very long, secluded and relaxing.

My view for 7 weeks will be something like this:

But with everything good there always comes some bad...

I will not be accepting ANY ARCs or review books from now until the end of my holiday.

For the simple reason that I will not be anywhere near my mailbox for 7 weeks. I am stopping requests now though just in case of delays in mail and what-not.

I will be leaving in late August (look out for that squee happy post) and returning mid-October, so I won't be accepting any ARCs or review books until mid-October.

I am alive!!! and Sunburnt!!

So...2 weeks gone...4 more to go.

I went for my first tan (ooooh naughty!) a couple of days ago and went unsurprisingly red...

And today...I got internet!!!

((((CHEERS!!!!))))

So hopefully we will go back to normal posting within the next couple of days.

Just a quick update, I haven't read a lot of books so far on my holiday because I am concentrating on reading long books while I have the time.

So far I have read:
Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind (764 pages)
Elizabeth's Wolf by Lora Leigh (301 pages)
Glass Houses by Rachel Caine (224 pages)
Bleed for Me by Michael Robotham (401 pages)

Question: What book took the longest to read?

Up next is The Host by Stephenie Meyer and The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson

Holiday Update: Things are great! I am getting on with my little brother!!! Current Record: 36 hours! (that is quite an achievement as far as my little brother and I are concerned lol.

We went shopping yesterday and I spent a lot. I also achieved a new record by not buying any books! As you guys know I took a heap of books with me.

I am currently re-watching Avatar: The Last Airbender re-runs on Nickelodeon in anticipation of seeing the movie on Friday (maybe!) with my brothers - oh and for those who care...I am the Avatar fan in the family...even though I am probably too old to watch it hehe.

And I won the last two games of Monopoly...yes, that is what we do on holidays - endless games of monopoly

Tomorrow we are off to the beach once again for a tan. Yay!

Holidays!!!!

That shall be my view for the next six weeks! (and no, that photo is in no way enhanced...the water actually looks like that!)

What does that mean for the blog?

Well, posting will still occur but will be erratic, hopefully with my mounds of free time and a possible internet connection I will still be able to post, but this is a family getaway, so I am expected to socialise as well.

Reading wise:
I have been restricted with the amount of books I am allowed to take :( so I had to take this into my own hands and pad my suitcases with books unbeknowenst to my mum. So far I have packed in:

• Just After Sunset by Stephen King
• The Host by Stephanie Meyer
• Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs
• Iron Kissed by Patricia Briggs
• Night Rising by Chris Marie Green
• Bleed for Me by Michael Robotham
• The Laughing Corpse by Laurell K Hamilton 
• Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K Hamilton
• Circus of the Damned by Laurell K Hamilton
• The Birthing House by Christopher Ransom 

But I still have my legitimate book bag to fill! So I need to decide which books I need to take with me, suggestions are appreciated and welcome.

Also on the going list is:

• Need by Carrie Jones
• Lament by Maggie Steifvater 
• Darkborn by Alison Sinclair
• Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice

New Books:

• Lover Revealed by J. R. Ward
• Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready

I think I am going to try and take about 10 more - hey! six weeks is a long time! - I have worked out that with four days of car travel, that's four large books for each of those days plus an additional book for every second day after that.

8 travel days in total = 8 books
6 weeks = 42 days - 8 (for travel) = 34/2 = 17 books
17 + 8 = 25 books total

I can make all of that fit somewhere, I will stick to the smaller adult novels so I can pack more in :D...no culling my TBR to 11 more books that I want to take...

I will add to the list as I decide...
