Hi there, welcome to our blog!

We're Dwayne and Hanna,
compulsive readers whose
growing book collection sadly
lacks a bookshelf.

We're 23 and 15, and we live in London.

Like most sisters, we bicker. A lot.

This week is superb, book wise. I attended the Simon and Schuster blogger event last thursday, where we got the chance to meet and greet fabulous authors including Michelle Harrison, Justin Somper and Sophie Mckenzie! I had a fantastic time - not least because of the books I got! Like always, there was a mini bookshelf raid in the office. Lol

I had fun meeting Michelle Harrison (super fabulous, plus I love her red shoes :D), Justin Somper (superbly cool - love him) and the rest of the fabulous author panel! Plus, it's always a pleasure meeting my fellow bloggers - special thanks to  to Lindsey @ Heaven, Hell, Purgatory for being my contact (I would otherwise have not found the S&S office), to Sarah @ Feeling Fictional for being such a lovely photographer for the evening, and to Jenny @ Wondrous Reads for enduring my chattiness while waiting for our respective trains at Euston Station.

There you go, a mini event write up :) My blogoversary is coming up soon, hence the double copies of some books - the rest are for you guys to win, so watch out for the giveaways!

What did you guys get this week? :) Happy reading!

I;m so jealous that you went to the S&S event. I hope I get invited to those kinds of events some day! (though no that's not the reason I became a blogger before anyone thinks badly of me!) I'm jealous of your swag too!! Have fun reading them!

Ooh Raising Demons! I loved Hex Hall so I can't wait to start that. Amy & Roger's Epic Detour looks great too, so does The Replacement! I got Low Red Moon as well, I'll be interested to see what you think of it. Happy reading!
