book happy thursday + june/july issues

"you can't buy happiness, but you can buy books and that's kind of the same thing." 
extreme happiness was bought to me today in the form of jodi picoult's new book from my favourite bookshop owner! (thank you a billion miss kylie) - she got them in just today and i'm the first to have one. i'm halfway through another of her books - nineteen minutes - so i have that and this to finish before i see her on the 19th of this month. jodi picoult is probably my favourite author as well as my inspiration. i would love to be a successful author like her. 

there are only a few days of holidays left and today my sister, amy called. when i told her that i didn't have plans for tomorrow, she told me she would take me to the gold coast. to go bungee jumping. i had to ask her a few times whether she was actually being serious - and she was - but the plan was ruined as soon as i asked mum, no surprise there. our plans to go ice skating at the lipton tea ice festival were also ruined when i did some research to discover that it finished on sunday. so we're still not entirely sure what we're doing but we'll work it out tomorrow - yay for not having another lazy day like today (sims, sims, sims).

so i hired a book from the local library sometime last year and i never returned it (although to be fair, i don't even remember hiring it out..) and when i went to hire a few weeks ago, i was told i had to replace it or pay for it (then i vaguely remembered persistent letters from them, reminding me). i was given until the end of june to find a copy of the book, which i did, the only problem is that i haven't actually gone down to give it to them and it is now the fifth of july. i am so bad at this.
that reminds me, i hate june and july. they are such ridiculously confusing months to put beside eachother, ugh. just me? probably.
