I'm Back!!! + Jubilee Jubilation Week!

Hey there, peeps! Exams are over, school's out for the half-term holiday, and, boy, does it feel good to be back! It's been a stressful week cramming for those end-of-year exams, but HOORAY because it's all over! Now that I'll be having more time on my hands, (True, I do still have about five/six more weeks until we break up for the summer holidays - can't wait! - but generally the last half-term is more relaxed and all, so it's all good!) hopefully I'll be able to post more frequently.


I just wanted to quickly say thank you to all you guys who have still been dropping by The Book Parade, and commenting, (even whilst I have been an absent presence!) and thanks to all the new followers I've gotten whilst I've been away! It's nice to know I haven't been forgotten, lol ;)


ANYWAYS, what I wanted to announce was a special celebratory week that I'm going to be doing here on The Book Parade this week. As most of you probably know, it's a very special time of the year at the moment, here in England - it's the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, celebrating her reign of 60 years so far! Lots of celebrations are taking place up and down the country, and I thought, what better way to take part in all the patriotic cheer than right here on The Book Parade?


So, throughout this week, I plan to be posting a range of British-themed posts to celebrate the awesomeness of this coutry, and its Queen, including...


  • The Best Of British...YA Books
  • The Best Of British...YA Authors
  • A Grand Feast...
  • 60 Reasons Why Britain Is Brilliant

Hopefully, this will be some fun, and I hope you guys will enjoy my Jubilee Jubilation week!
