But I know a lot (all?) of Australia gets way hotter than California in your summers, and I can't say I'd want to have the equivalent of South Carolina in August during Christmas hahaElizabethhttp://oboechica-books.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178753992132096505.post-36380898306628813652015-06-11T08:07:32.933-04:002015-06-11T08:07:32.933-04:00Semesters at university, you can do trimesters but...Semesters at university, you can do trimesters but I don't know anyone who has! School has terms but two terms are a semester, so it's the same thing I guess. <br /><br />And yep, we have summer break, mid-November to late January/early February (pretty long for us uni students, the school break is shorter though, they finish later than us and start earlier) :)<br /><br />The break over Wattlehttp://whimsical-nature.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178753992132096505.post-28626171654269727802015-06-10T21:32:36.241-04:002015-06-10T21:32:36.241-04:00Damn it!

Do Australians have semesters or trimesters? It occurs to me that because your summer is during Christmas that it would make so much more sense for your semesters to be backwards to ours (a la taking November - January off instead of May - August) Elizabethhttp://oboechica-books.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178753992132096505.post-34206522844061218052015-06-10T21:30:20.830-04:002015-06-10T21:30:20.830-04:00Shannon has been shamelessly plugging it, so I hav...Shannon has been shamelessly plugging it, so I have been excited for it for AGES.

It's funny, I actually think I like Bray's more "contemporary" works than I do her historical fiction which really surprises me! (And the styles are SO different in both!)<br /><br /><br />I've heard pretty mixed things about Dorothy Must Die, I have to say haha.

I am going to wait and hope that A Darker Shade of Magic is a $1.99 ebook special after Christmas. I am so look spoiled with ebooks. I think I bought 10 books after Christmas last year, including the horrid Dorothy Must Die I started reading last night. ACOTAR is another book I am hoping show up on special La La in the Libraryhttp://lalatoadstone.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
