Heya everyone! It seems like forever since I've properly blogged, been a bit of a hectic week for me! But alas it's the weekend, I've finished work and I have a glass of wine ready to be drunk. I'm currently reading Far From The Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy and I am loving it, it's such a lovely read and to get me in the mood I've been listening to the film soundtrack alongside it- perfect! I wanted to read it before I go to see the film and it won't be long until it's finished I don't think haha.
Anyway! Here are the books I've recently added to my Goodreads bookshelves...to read the full synopsis' just click on the source links that will redirect you to the book on Goodreads :-)
Royal Wedding follows Princess Mia and her Prince Charming as they plan their fairy tale wedding- but a few poisoned apples could turn this happily-ever-after into a royal nightmare.
For Princess Mia, the past five years since college graduation have been a whirlwind of activity, what with living in New York City, running her new teen community centre, being madly in love, and attending royal engagements. And speaking of engagements, Mia's gorgeous longtime boyfriend Michael managed to clear both their schedules just long enough for an exotic (and very private) Caribbean island interlude where he popped the question! Of course Mia didn't need to consult her diary to know that her answer was a royal oui,..(Source)
I've recently been sent this book prior to it's release via Netgalley so I am thrilled to read this book. I feel like I need to re-read The Princess Diaries- loved that series when I was younger!

Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It's a pretty standard dried-up western town.
There's a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and runs the store during the night). There's a diner (although those folk who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there's a new resident: Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he's found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own)...(Source)
