I have ten books left which seeing the progress I have made these past two week is totally doable. I have taken the past couple of days off from reading to catch up on writing reviews, blog posts (stay tuned for them) and to catch up with people but now i have nothing to do but read! 

How are your NEWTs going? How many exams have you passed? What has been your favourite read so far?

Till next time Happy Reading!
