Hi Guys!

This week was slow and relaxing. I feel like I have less and less energy in me. I think it’s because of pregnancy.

Yesterday I had a lovely day with my friend Monika. We went into Chinese restaurant for lunch, and after that in a really nice caffee for Pumpkin Spice Late.
I had best intention to take pictures and then I simply forgot. I guess we’ll have to go back at some point!

Today I plan to watch a Christmas movie on tv, answer to every comment on my blog and to finish a book I’m reading.
So I guess it will be a slow, relaxing Sunday.

Last Week on Book Dust Magic:

Monday: In Movie Monday I talked about A Christmas Detour    
Wednesday: I gave you my thoughts on The Hunting of Hill House Netflix show
Thursday: I reviewed The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman
Friday: I talked about the time I met Katherine Arden
Saturday: I reviewed Well Met by Jen DeLuca

Next Week on Book Dust Magic

Upcoming reviews:

The Christmas Invitation by Trisha Ashley book cover, UK edition One Winter Morning by Isabelle Broom book cover
I am also preparing some lifestyle posts.

Currently reading:

Bid my Soul Farewell by Beth Revis book cover I am reading the second and final book in Give the Dark my Love duology and I am in love with everything. If you ask me, this is one of the best fantasy series out there.

Giveaway:

I am hosting an international giveaway in which you can win a signed copy of The Bear and the Nightingale. You can enter here.

That is it!
Let me know what’s been going on with you, what you’ve been reading or watching this week and feel free to leave your links so I can visit you.
Have a lovely Sunday!

Meeting Katherine Arden + Giveaway: #Win a signed copy of The Bear and the Nightingale #Giveaway #Winter #Fantasy #BookLovers

Katherine Arden and me on book signing in Croatia

This post is long overdue, but as I already said many times before: better late then never.

Back in April Katherine Arden visited Croatia and had promotion of her Winternight series.
Arden’s books are very popular in my country so having a foreign author promoting her work was a big deal. Naturally, I wanted to go.

I went with my friend Monika who adores Winternight Trilogy (and who introduced me to these books).

Monika and me meeting Katherine Arden

It was really interesting to hear Katherine talk about her journey to become published author and how she got ideas for her books, but also how her own life reflected on her writing.
She also talked briefly about her on going middle grade series Small Spaces.

In the end there was book signing where she took some time to chat with everyone who came and thank them.

It was a nice experience and I wish I could participate in book events and authors meets and greets more often.
If I lived in UK or US, I definitely would because I feel like there are book signings all the time.

Giveaway

While I was there I couldn’t forget you guys, so I grabbed one extra copy of The Bear and the Nightingale, kindly signed by Katherine Arden.
I want to give back to you guys, who follow my blog genuinely.

Hi Guys!

Today I’m just tired and I don’t feel very chatty, but I am looking forward to blog hop for the rest of the day.

We planned to visit Christmas market in Zagreb today, but since it will be raining we have to reschedule it for another time. It messed up my blogging and real life plans, to be honest, but it is what it is. I hope we’ll watch some good movie instead.

Last Week on Book Dust Magic:

Monday: I talked about book I read in November

Wednesday: I talked about Lush Christmas products I purhased

Friday: I reviewed A Winter Beneath the Stars by Jo Thomas

 

Next Week on Book Dust Magic:

Upcoming reviews:

  

Book Haul:

 I was so happy when I received this ARC of The Day We Met by Roxie Cooper. I requested it via email, but didn’t get any reply, so I was sure there were non left or that I didn’t make a cut.
But oh my, I can’t even tell you how happy I am to hold this baby in my hands, since it is on of my most anticipated books of 2019. It will be my next read.

 

Currenly Reading:

 I’m reading this novel(la) my colleague borrowed me few weeks ago. I’s in Croatian and it’s really short (I was too lazy to take picture so I grabbed this one from Goodreads instead).

Giveaway:

 There’s still giveaway going on on my Twitter page. All you have to do to enter is follow me and rt my tweet, it’s international and you can win a book A Christmas Kiss and 4 chocolates. You can ENTER HERE.

 

That is it!
Let me know what’s been going on with you, what you’ve been reading or watching this week and feel free to leave your links so I can visit you.

Hi Guys!

I was sooooo looking forward to this weekend, and now it’s almost over and I feel like it was too short. I think I need vacation, few days off work  wouldn’t be bad.
I am never sick so I don’t think I’ll end up staying home, but since we are already in December I feel better because I know holidays are coming!

I love festive season, and Christmas Spirit hit me hard this year.
Yesterday was the first Advent day for the season in Zagreb, there was big ceremony (I didn’t attend) but I plan to go there next weekend. I can’t wait!

As for me, I am good, I’m just little tired. I feel very productive lately, lots of blog ideas come to my mind and I want to fulfill most of them, plus I started cleaning like a maniac. There is something so satisfying after you wash your house nad it’s nice and shiny, and it smells nice.

In other news, GiGi and I are home alone this Sunday so we decided to have a nice relaxing day, I will read and he will sleep, and in the evening we will watch a movie.

This is him being comfortable:

Last Week on Book Dust Magic:

Monday: I reviewed Every Time a Bell Rings by Carmel Harrington

Wednesday: I reviewed Not Just for Christmas by Natalie Cox

Friday: I reviewed Once Upon a Christmas by Sarah Morgan

Next Week on Book Dust Magic:

Upcoming review: 

I will also talk about my November reading and show you Lush products I enjoy this season.

Book Haul:

Borrowed:

 From work I borrowed Good Me, Bad Me by Ali Land. I was too lazy to take picture. I have already read it and I loved it, I will write a review soon, but I can spoil you and say it’s a 5 stars worth!

For review:

 Wonderful Jenny Platt from Michael Joseph, UK sent me this massive book, because I’ll be participating in the blog tour in January.

Currently Reading:

 I started reading Throne of Glass yesterday and it took some time for me to get used to Maas’ writing style, but it’s good so far!

Giveaway:

 There’s a giveaway right now on my Twitter page. All you have to do to enter is follow me and rt my tweet, it’s international and you can win a book A Christmas Kiss and 4 chocolates. You can ENTER HERE.
