As you guys know, I went to the beach about a month ago, but I’ve just finally gotten around to uploading my pictures! I road-tripped down there along with six other friends in a big old Suburban (you should have seen how little we looked behind the wheel of that ginormous car!) and spent four lovely days on the beach. I thought I would share a few iPhone snaps with you- hope you enjoy! :D
our first day on the beach/ friends helping make dinner/ the hotel where we stayed/ toasting our arrival with a refreshing cocktail/ spending some time in the ‘burban’/ soaking up the sun/ dining together in our hotel room/ sun + sand + sunscreen= a good combo =)
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]
