<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hey guys! I come bearing gifts... well author Sarah L. Blair does with her book, Darkness Shifting being on sale at Amazon right now (digital copy)! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am delighted that I have the opportunity to share with you an expert from the book to tempt you even further into adding a new collection to you library! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Darkness Shifting is the first book in the Tides of Darkness series, and came out summer 2016. The genre of the book is paranormal/ fantasy which personally immediately intrigues me because that's my favourite genre! If you're not super open to the genre, the price is so great that I'm sure you can be persuaded!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A synopsis for the book ~</span><br />

years ago. Her boss Mitchell Harris, questions whether she should continue to

It's clear to see from the expert below, that this travelling is evident in the story which is something I really admire as I'd like to do it one day too. </span></div>

first glance, his shoulder length hair was jet black, but when he stepped into

met his gaze that this man didn</span><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 12pt;">’</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">t feel the need to impress anyone. His
deep set eyes were soft, holding a hint of amusement, as if he didn</span><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 12pt;">’</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">t have to think about
what she might do or say because he already knew.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

unexpected and familiar at the same time. It sounded British, but it was more
rugged than the Queen</span><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 12pt;">’</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">s English.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">In
all her years at boarding school in the UK, she hadn</span><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 12pt;">’</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">t heard anything like
it. It held lilting notes of Welsh, but there were gruff hints of a Highland
brogue in there as well. She recalled hearing it at one point in the hospital,
but she didn</span><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 12pt;">’</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">t remember actually
meeting him.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">The
men shook hands as if they</span><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 12pt;">’</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">d been pals in grade school.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">Sidney
stayed behind Mitch, not wanting to draw attention to herself. She could see Dimitrius
better up close and noticed that his nose had the smallest rise along the
middle of the bridge; it hadn</span><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 12pt;">’</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">t healed properly after a break. A
slight cleft cut through his chin. He had a ragged scar at the edge of his
hairline, and another one on the left side of his neck below his ear that
disappeared under the back of his collar.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">The
top two buttons of his shirt had been left undone, as if he intended to draw
her gaze downward. He wasn</span><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 12pt;">’</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">t wearing an undershirt, so it was easy
to see the outline of his well-toned chest and the tarnished silver pendant
that rested right below the dip of his collarbone, tied to his neck with a
narrow leather strap. It was some kind of old coin or a stamped crest.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">Now
that he was even closer, the scent evolved into something more distinct; Sidney
picked out the smell of horses, sweat, blood, even the smoky flavor of fire and
pitch.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

meet.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">” </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">That voice again,
softer and gentler than what a battle-hardened warrior should sound like. She
wanted to curl up and listen to him read page after page of Internet search
results. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">“I</span><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 12pt;">’</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">ve heard wonderful

sucked into a whirlpool and Mitch had suddenly become her safety net. Knowing
he was right there with the line of his body pressed against hers made her feel
more grounded.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

head-to-toe assessment. He offered his hand. She didn</span><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 12pt;">’</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">t want to take it,
but she couldn</span><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 12pt;">’</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">t be rude.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">She
returned the handshake much more firmly than she</span><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 12pt;">’</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">d done with his
assistant. It was the same grip she used to make Williams go weak in the knees

<div class="Default">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">It
had no effect whatsoever on Dimitrius. Instead, she felt what could only be
described as electricity, an actual current running between them where their
skin touched. His eyes narrowed, and she wondered if he felt it too.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

leaned forward at the waist and raised her hand toward his mouth, keeping his
eyes locked on hers. A whisper of something brushed across her fingers, like an
invisible string wrapping around her hand, curling its way up her wrist. She
felt his pulse in her palm, saw it throbbing at his neck millimeters from the
edge of the scar. She wanted to lick her tongue over it to find out if he
tasted as good as he smelled.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hello everyone! I am currently typing this on my new MacBook which I am eternally grateful for (I will cherish it like a child it's beautiful), so I'm hoping this will make blogging easier and therefore more frequent. In preparation for the film starring Emily Blunt which came out on the 5th of October, I finally picked up my copy of heavily talked about thriller, The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. As a little disclaimer, I've never really read a thriller/mystery/crime novel before as I'm usually drawn towards the fantasy or science fiction books, however I really enjoyed this book and am on the search for another book of the same genre. I love being able to be open to new genres as it means more books and stories to be experienced!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I went into this book blind (not literally of course). I purposefully stayed away from all reviews, trailers and even avoided reading the blurb in order to make the story completely unknown and have no sense of characterisation or plot. I thought this was really effective so consequently I'll be keeping this review very brief and short in order for you to appreciate it in the same way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A brief summary of this book is that our protagonist, <span style="color: #444444;">Rachel, takes the train into London everyday. Her life is spiralling downwards and she's gradually losing hope after the divorce from her husband. One day when riding the train, she sees a beautiful woman. The next day, the beautiful woman's face appears in the papers alongside the word 'MISSING'. Rachel then feels involved and interested with the story, and steps into a life she doesn't know...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Characters -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The characters in this book were so detailed and had so much depth to them that wasn't fully discovered or evaluated until the end of the novel. They're the sort of characters that I could imagine analysing in an English class; eliciting debates and arguments based on their morals and initiative amongst your peers. Hawkins' characters managed to contradict our emotions, being untrustworthy whilst also sparking empathy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The book is written in three perspectives: Rachel, Anna and Megan. All of which take part over different periods of time (around one year I believe). This interesting technique meant that the readers opinions and speculations were constantly changing due to the new information given or taken away throughout the book. I thought the manipulation of these perspectives really helped the increase of tension in the book, and it was really clever to witness the story gradually come together as each perspective was like a jigsaw piece, and at the end they had all been collected and could finally be pieced together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I can't comment on characters really as their personalities play an enormous part in the novel. I can however say that no characters are particularly likeable and I believe this to be intentional as it keeps the readers' minds open as to who is responsible for the crime. However, my favourite character is Rachel as she's an incredibly complex character and is definitely not black and white.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Writing -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The writing in this novel isn't exactly spectacular. It doesn't reveal any metaphors or similes to be evaluated or any other kind of inspirational and poetic descriptions or explanations...But it was gripping, thrilling and clever in many other ways. In print, the writing is simplistic which meant the book was easy to pick up and read quickly. But it was also written so intricately with the different perspectives but also short lines that don't hold any significance until much later on in the book. It was just really captivating how the whole thing played out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On the book, as a tagline, is written 'You Don't Know Her, But She Knows You'. Although this does have relevance to the book, I found this book to be more of a personal story to Rachel at times, rather than the crime/thriller it's being made out to be. Though this may just be a personal opinion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall, as someone who doesn't read these books often at all, I really enjoyed it. I really want to read more books like it and as they're so easy to read. I gave the book 3.5/5, or 7/10 on Goodreads, as although I did enjoy it, it didn't equate to the 4s and 5s I'd given to other books on there. I'm going to write a movie review for this book soon as I saw the movie last week, and hopefully I'll keep up to post more!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Hey guys! Sorry for being absent again but I've
just started college and I want to make a good first impression there so I've
been focusing on my work for that. BUT Faith (<a href="http://bookishrandomz.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://bookishrandomz.blogspot.co.uk/</span></a>) and I have
created this amazing tag which I'm uber excited for. So...This is my attempt at
our Moulin Rouge book tag!</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Moulin Rouge, if you do not know, is one of the
best films I have ever watched. With incredibly innovative direction by Baz
Luhrmann, captivating costumes and set, beautiful singing by the must-be Angel
Ewan McGregor it's simply a fun and emotional film to watch and I totally
recommend it to anyone and everyone; even if you don't like musicals, you'll
never watch another film like it. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<span style="background: white;">When Kate Mercier's parents die in a tragic car
accident, she leaves her life--and memories--behind to live with her
grandparents in Paris. For Kate, the only way to survive her pain is escaping
into the world of books and Parisian art. Until she meets Vincent.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Mysterious, charming, and devastatingly
handsome, Vincent threatens to melt the ice around Kate's guarded heart with
just his smile. As she begins to fall in love with Vincent, Kate discovers that
he's a revenant--an undead being whose fate forces him to sacrifice himself
over and over again to save the lives of others. Vincent and those like him are
bound in a centuries-old war against a group of evil revenants who exist only
to murder and betray. Kate soon realises that if she follows her
heart, she may never be safe again.</span></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<i>Die for Me</i> by Amy Plum. I read this book over two years ago when reading was
just becoming my passion and I dreamed of having a bookshelf compact with
stunning books. For me, this is a perfect example of 'don't judge a book by
it's cover' as I was not a fan of this series. I thought it was incredibly
cliche and the characters weren't developed enough to feel real and therefore
for the readers to empathise with them. I've actually done a full review on
this book, which you can read </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><a href="http://abibliotopia.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/die-for-me-review.html" target="_blank"><span style="background: white; color: blue;">here</span></a><span style="background: white;">. </span></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

society </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a
particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless
(the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an
appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to
which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is
between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have
both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">During the highly competitive initiation that
follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow
initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo
extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some
with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must
determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a
sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's
chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because
she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing
conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also
learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might
destroy her.</span></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I have so many mixed emotions for this book. I
guess what I can first say about it is that it's <i>okay</i>. But looking
back at the series and my opinion on it, I just feel so underwhelmed and
negative about it. Unfortunately I think the film adaptation has a big impact
on this but I also think I'm over the whole '<i>empowering but
flawed heroine saving the world in
a dystopian universe with a controlling government'</i>.
The Hunger Games took the medal from me for that and there's no room for second
or thirds. I do think this book is a great example of overblown franchises and
phases us readers go through, but also on how I've developed as a reader and
person. For me it's a definite step out of the ordinary tween apocalyptic
dystopian books and into the more sophisticated and complex books to ponder on
and influence me. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">You may know I have serious love
for this book for so many reasons but also no reasons at all. I know that
doesn't make any sense but I can't explain how much I like this book with
justification but I just <b>do</b>. Occasionally you're going to discover
a book that you can just relate to in every single way; with every character
and every scenario presented and I can with this book. It made me laugh
and it made me cry and that’s how you know a book has you. The reason why I
thought I ‘couldn’t love’ this book was because I read <i>The Fault In Our Stars</i>
because everyone on the planet was telling me to read it. I liked it, thought
it was good but it wasn’t exactly a revelation of a book that I hold close to
my heart. I then read <i>Looking for Alaska</i>, again because I was told to. I
thought it was so boring and just wasn’t for me. So when I picked up <i>Paper
Towns</i> to read it in preparation for the movie, I wasn’t expecting to actual
like it at all. I have a full book review of this book which I’m really proud
of so if you would like to read my opinion on this book in complete detail

these authors are with our hearts. Brutal. There’s so much cuteness in this
book and love and sacrifice and friendship and more love and it’s just soooo
gooooood. Though I could have picked any Cassandra Clare book for this because
she can so effortlessly create stunning characters that you inevitably become
attached to and there’s no escaping it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Clare book before get to it fast. Personally I would read them in the order of
publication as there’s a lot of books in different series and they overlap it’s
amazing so go do some research there!</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #666666;">Celaena has survived deadly contests and shattering
heartbreak―but at an unspeakable cost. Now, she must travel to a new land to
confront her darkest truth . . . a truth about her heritage that could change
her life―and her future―forever. Meanwhile, brutal and monstrous forces are
gathering on the horizon, intent on enslaving her world. Will Celaena find the
strength to not only fight her inner demons, but to take on the evil that is
about to be unleashed?</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">As it says, I didn’t completely agree with some of
the things that happens in this book, and I found some of the character’s
perspectives to be a bit boring at times. Personally I found it to be a drop in
the series for me. For the first time I found Celaena to be unreasonably
frustrating and it took me SO long to finish this book. Partly because of the
heftiness of it, but also because I often struggled to find the will to pick it
up. But I have no complaints about Sarah J. Maas’ writing ability so I
continued on, marvelling at the descriptions and came to thrill at the last 100
pages or so. They completely made up for the rest of the book for me and
consequently has me continuing the series. Sometimes you just have to persevere
with the book and not get put off my things you aren’t totally satisfied with…</span></div>

it because no matter your gender or genre preferences, you will have awe in
this book and its awesomeness and the way it will make you feel all hollow,
you’ll never experience anything like it. Really you won’t, and if you have
please tell me. I have been looking for a book like it since and have yet to

has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped.
Katniss's family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13
really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="background: white;">It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the
arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has
long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out
of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems,
has had a hand in the carefully laid plans--except Katniss.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's
willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to
change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her
feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay--no
matter what the personal cost.</span></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

together. Especially following the footsteps of </span></span><i style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Catching Fire</i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> which everyone
adored, this book definitely had a less interesting </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">story line</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> and produced less impact on the reader; which is necessary for a finale book in order for it to
stay remembered and not ruin the series. I wouldn’t say <i>Mockingjay </i>ruined <i>The
Hunger Games</i> series, but it wasn’t up to the same standard as the other two
books and was in general less entertaining. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #666666;">Princess Winter is admired by
the Lunar people for her grace and kindness, and despite the scars that mar her
face, her beauty is said to be even more breathtaking than that of her
stepmother, Queen Levana.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Winter despises her stepmother, and knows Levana
won't approve of her feelings for her childhood friend--the handsome palace
guard, Jacin. But Winter isn't as weak as Levana believes her to be and she's
been undermining her stepmother's wishes for years. Together with the cyborg
mechanic, Cinder, and her allies, Winter might even have the power to launch a
revolution and win a war that's been raging for far too long.</span></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span><i style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Lady Midnight</i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> by Cassandra Clare for this but then remembered my adoration for
this series so I went with </span></span><i style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Winter </i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">by Marissa Meyer. I absolutely LOVE </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">fairy tales</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> and I’m an enormous Disney fanatic, so this series is right up my
street. </span><i style="font-size: 14pt;">Winter </i><span style="font-size: 14pt;">was the only book in the series I had to wait for, so I
marathoned the other books in the series in preparation for it. And oh my I was
glad I hadn’t read all the books when they were first published as the few
months I had to wait for </span><i style="font-size: 14pt;">Winter </i><span style="font-size: 14pt;">was agonising but completely worth it because it
was 832 pages of magical perfection. I had so much love but also so much hatred as Levana is one of the most evil villains I have come across. Princess Winter and Jacin were my
favourite characters and </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">story line</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">, but I adored all the others as well and it’s
another series finale that ended brilliantly and I miss deeply. I really want
to reread this series, though I don’t know when I’ll find the time! </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This series is so unique, even though it's a retelling. I'm so invested in </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">fairy tale</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> retellings as I think it's so fascinating for </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">authors</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> to reinterpret a classic story. </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">This series is far from tradition; set in a futuristic world with a cyborg as the protagonis. However, it's still close to the original stories but better in so many ways with more developed and lovable characters and obviously more appropriate for older audiences! </span></div>

miserable. His parents are dead and he's stuck with his heartless relatives,
who force him to live in a tiny closet under the stairs. But his fortune
changes when he receives a letter that tells him the truth about himself: he's
a wizard. A mysterious visitor rescues him from his relatives and takes him to
his new home, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br />
<span style="background: white;">After a lifetime of bottling up his magical
powers, Harry finally feels like a normal kid. But even within the Wizarding
community, he is special. He is the boy who lived: the only person to have ever
survived a killing curse inflicted by the evil Lord Voldemort, who launched a
brutal takeover of the Wizarding world, only to vanish after failing to kill
Harry.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Though Harry's first year at Hogwarts is the best
of his life, not everything is perfect. There is a dangerous secret object
hidden within the castle walls, and Harry believes it's his responsibility to
prevent it from falling into evil hands. But doing so will bring him into
contact with forces more terrifying than he ever could have imagined.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Full of sympathetic characters, wildly imaginative
situations, and countless exciting details, the first installment in the series
assembles an unforgettable magical world and sets the stage for many
high-stakes adventures to come.</span></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Another answer I may
get hate for, but I’m currently reading Harry Potter for the first time. I wasn’t
into reading when I was the right age to read Harry Potter (I’d say 10 would
have been a better age), so I’m giving it a go now. I love the films so much so
I’m already so invested and attached to the characters but I want to read the
books to become even more involved and so I could officially join the fandom.
However I am struggling a bit with finding the motivation with reading them as
obviously I’m a little too old for them now so they’re not written as
sophisticated or challenging enough for me…But I’ll finish them eventually. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">The last time she did, it was an accident, but The
Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is
fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world
is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl.

dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has
changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a
poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.</span><br />

one of the easiest questions, but for this I have chosen Kenji from the <i>Shatter

the darkness and chaos of the book’s content. His friendship with protagonist
Juliette was desirable and some of the things he said really made me laugh out
loud. He’s a perfect example of a loveable character to everyone as his
character really grew through the series, causing the reader’s to see him more

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Spoiler Free - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you follow my Instagram (abibliotopia) then you probably know that I am a HUGE fan of author Jennifer L. Armentrout. Her books don't necessarily use the most advanced and challenging vocabulary, or create contemplative thoughts and leave your mind pondering...But they do entertain. I always read her books within one or two days and rarely am I left disappointed as this woman's strength is creating excellent stories with authentic and relatable characters. In this post, I will be review her latest book <i>The Problem with Forever</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This book focuses on teenager Mallory Dodge, who struggles with talking due to her suffering from an abusive foster home as a child. Growing up silent and trying to stay hidden, it's difficult now for Mallory to speak up in her new, generous life with her adoptive Doctor parents. Taking a huge, courageous step, Mallory decides to go to school for the first time, where she meets childhood saviour Rider and discovers their unique connection has not faded over time...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Different from Jennifer's usual novels, this book is set in our world: with no Fae, Demons or Aliens. Although I naturally gravitate toward those kind of books, I had no doubt that I would enjoy this book any less as I have faith in this author. Usually I would say that JLA excels in creating brilliant characters and exceptional stories. However, for this book I'd argue differently. With a simple, basic story line, <i>The Problem with Forever</i> relies on the characters and the character development, but mainly, the writing. I thought the writing was hugely more sophisticated than Jennifer's other books; perfectly capturing an appropriate voice for the protagonist Mallory as well as tone. I really enjoyed exploring another talent of the author, though I'd still put the book under the teen fiction/young adult barrier.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The characters in this book are so different from any other books I've read. The book already starts with Mallory being broken, and instead of a story telling how she became that way, we were told a story of how she is gradually picking up the pieces of herself. I thought this was so refreshing for a YA book and although the book carried some serious themes, it had an overall positive outcome. I think for some this book could be a genuine help to restore faith or help build your own self. This is why Mallory is so special. Her timid approach at life and her nickname being 'Mouse' don't prevent her from anything or silence her from life. The irony in it all is inspiring.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It wouldn't be a Jennifer L. Armentrout book without a handsome, caring, brave, charismatic and loving hero; Rider. Jennifer effortlessly charms the audience into falling for him as she does with all her novels. However, this book does not fall under the boy-meets-girl, boy-loves-girl radar. Although there is inevitable romance and cliche bumps along the road, it is not the story that Jennifer is telling. This books is about finding yourself and self-empowerment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Strangely, I relate more to Jennifer's heroines that are fighting demons or dating aliens, but that didn't prevent me from admiring Mallory. I also found the story line to be too basic. I know it's supposed to be a book of character development, but I think more deeper emotions could have been created for the readers to always keep their interest sparked. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This review will include spoilers for the book <b>The 5th Wave.</b> It's an incredible book that I recommend you read!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hey guys! I've been meaning to write this review since I saw it so many months ago in the cinema. I was so excited for the film and I thought the trailer looked amazing and so promising. Initially, when I left the cinema I thought that it had been a success - I loved it! However after seeing it again and having so long to really look back on it...I don't think it's as good as I thought. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">All opinions here are my own, so please don't hate on it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anyone who has read the book will know the synopses for the movie; aliens have invaded Earth and are taking over by unleashing 'waves' amongst mankind. Each wave progressively getting worse and wiping out more and more people. After the death of Cassie's parents, her younger brother Sam is taken away to a safety camp, only to be discovered to be run by the aliens. Cassie goes out to find him, but by doing so she runs into the gorgeous Evan Walker who helps her with her plan. </span><br />

You know the stuff if you're reading this. I firstly want to approach the positives I have with this movie. The main one being the casting (most of the time). I fell in love with Chloe Grace Moretz in one of my all time favourite movies - Kick-Ass. Her acting in everything is exceptional and she makes no exception in this movie either. She was a fan favourite to play Cassie and she didn't disappoint; she perfectly captured the determination and love she had for finding her brother whilst also still being a normal teenage girl. When reading the book, I always thought Cassie to be one of the most relatable heroines ever, and although it wasn't to the same extreme in the movie as the book for me, it was still pretty damn good. I also loved the casting of Nick Robinson as Ben Parish. After finding him dreamy and lovely in Jurassic World, I was super happy with the casting of him as our charming and endearing Parish. The final (main) character I was uber happy with was Zachary Arthur as Sammy; I'm usually very sceptical of child actors, often finding them to be really annoying but not this guy. I actually found myself sympathising with him and thought he did a great job of presenting the innocence and vulnerability of the children during the tragic times.</span><br />

I think he's physically perfect and he also had the capability to act, however I don't know if it was him or the directors but I don't think they captured the personality of Evan right. He is a difficult character to play as he has several intricate characteristics. One minute he's manly and intimidating, the next he's vulnerable and shy. Most importantly, however, is his adorable awkwardness around Cassie which was a huge loss in the movie that was hilarious in the book and gave the audience an enormous step with loving the relationship of Cassie and Evan. In the book, for me, there isn't a lot of romance. It's so well laced with the desperation of reaching Sam and the fear of the new world. However, in the movie it's so heavily, and badly romanced that it ruined the chemistry between Cassie and Evan for me and just made the entire second half of the movie a cringe-fest. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was surprised to see the casting of Reznik being female. I had no issue of this initially however when watching the movie I didn't find her to be intimidating or scary enough so the entire threat that Ben was put under was completely lost. I also thought her wearing bright red lipstick was stupid. Like, why? My last complaint about casting was Maika Monroe. I thought the actress was great and everything but similarly to Evan, I think the interpretation of Ringer was wrong somehow. I mean, when reading the book, I never envisioned her to be this emo chick who's just super moody. She has a serious backstory and is the only one who's sceptical about everything. </span><br />

Something that had always troubled me was books aimed at young adults/adults being made into movies for young teens and kids. However, I thought that this could have been embraced more with more bad language (I remember Cassie swearing a lot more) and more violence. I thought the first half of the film was actually quite strong. The explanation of the waves was done well and I also found the shooting of the crucifix man to be quite potent. However, when the sloppy romance and the story of Ben Parish at the camp was introduced, I thought the film started to become messy and unfortunately...boring. There was no eerie threat that I felt when reading the book. There wasn't even a great balance between seriousness and humour like other films similar often have. This is necessary in order for the audience to favour characters. I felt everyone lacked so much life and character which kind of made the film feel deflated in comparison to the book. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm aware that it's so difficult for movies to be an accurate portrayal of a book as it can't include all the detail in a short time frame. However I feel if this is the case, don't bother making a movie as it just leaves us fans disappointed. I'd love to know your thoughts on this film, whether you did or didn't enjoy it and why below! </span><br />

read before reading this review to avoid spoilers for </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">that </i><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">book.
This review will not have spoilers for <i>P.S I Still Love You. </i></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Hey guys! Another review of a Jenny Han book; <i>P.S I
Still Love You</i>, the sequel to the book I previously reviewed, <i>To All The Boys
I've Loved Before</i>. As you know from that review (you totally should read it!),
I had very mixed views on the first book and had a few things that I wanted to
be improved in the second book...And they were! I thoroughly enjoyed <i>every</i> page
of this book and was a huge step up from the first for me. Everything had
improved: the character development, the relationships, the story, the writing.
This is still not a favourite series of mine or anything, but I'm definitely
glad to have read it and I'm looking forward to complete it with the final
book, <i>Always and Forever, Lara Jean</i>. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">In this book, we continue immediately from the
events of the first. </span><span style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;">Lara
Jean didn’t expect to <i>really</i> fall for Peter. She and
Peter were just pretending. Except suddenly they weren’t. Now Lara Jean is more
confused than ever. When another boy from her past returns to her life,
Lara Jean’s feelings for him return too. Can a girl be in love with two boys at
once? </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">In this charming and heartfelt sequel to
the <i>New York Times </i>bestseller <i>To All the Boys I've
Loved Before</i>, we see first love through the eyes of the unforgettable Lara
Jean. Love is never easy, but maybe that’s part of what makes it so amazing.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> A request of mine from the first book for
this series was to make it more romantic. Oh boy was this met! In this book, we
receive a letter that Lara Jean sent to John Ambrose McClaren and it was
exactly how I expected all the letters to be; so humiliating and personal to
Lara Jean, professing her unconditional
and irrevocable love for these boys. I thought this made the severity
of the letters more surreal and overall made the relationship between the two
more significant to the readers. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">More potent, shocking and important events happen
in this book which affect Lara Jean. This generally, for me, made the book more
interesting than the last. I thought protagonist Lara Jean reacted to these
events realistically which made the reader relate to her and like her even more
as a character. I thought the story was super gripping and I basically read the
book in a day as I couldn't put it down! However my main big thumbs up for this
book was the improvement of the language and the way it was written. Complex
and sophisticated vocabulary was used as well as interesting metaphors to
explain how Lara Jean was feeling. For me, this was the main thing that made me
enjoy this book so much more than the last. I'm so happy that the readers can
so clearly notice the progression of Jenny Han's writing and I'm really
interested to see it develop in the next book. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">This book, as Jenny Han had written it to be, was a
great end to the expected duology. However, the news of a third book makes so
much sense to perfectly end the story of Lara Jean. I hope that it does not let
my expectations down and I hope Han stays true to the characters and the story.
I gave this book 4.5/5 stars on Goodreads, and if you had problems with the
first book, I definitely recommend giving this one a go as it's so much better!</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Spoiler Free -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han is a super quick and easy romance novel following the life of Lara Jean Song. After her eldest sister leaves for college, Lara Jean is left to take on the responsibilities of the house and younger sister Kitty due to their hard-working dad and deceased mother. One day, the five love letters Lara Jean wrote over the past few years are mysteriously sent out to the boys. Mortified over her neighbour and sister's ex-boyfriend receiving his letter, Lara Jean must disguise her love for him by creating a false relationship with young love Peter. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Before I start this review, I must say that I went into this book with incredibly high expectations as my friend has read it and won't shut up about it. Perhaps this was a mistake as it was not as good as I had hoped. My main issue with this book was how simple the writing was. I was confused whether I was reading a young adult book or a children's book at times. As someone who is always wanting to read sophisticated and challenging books to strengthen my own vocabulary and writing, it took me a while to get used to the easy and straightforward writing of this book which was a step down from the books I usually read. Bearing that in mind however, it was nice to have a super quick, day-long read. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The premise of this story was one that I found intriguing. However I don't think it was approached as well as it could have been. I mean, I'd be totally mortified if letters that I had poured my heart out in were sent out. I didn't feel like protagonist Lara Jean showed us her suffering enough. Also, I thought the severity of the letters' content would be more dramatic, not petty things such as 'you eat the last slice of pizza'. I thought the potential each letter had to make this book so romantic and heart-warming were lost with the childish idiocies. I know some of the letters were written when Lara Jean was very young, so the silly things she had written were expected, I just felt that there was no balance whatsoever. I know I sound harsh, I just thought if it were different it would have been more effective. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Though I've mostly been negative, I don't mean to make this sound like a bad book that I didn't enjoy. I've already ordered the next book as I'm interested in where the story will go. I thought Lara Jean was a lovely and relatable protagonist as she was super quirky and awkward at times which often brought a smile to my face. The obvious love triangle involved was kind of cliche and predictable but sometimes a girl needs a cheesy, stupid but entertaining read right? I thought some of the decisions that Lara Jean makes were so stupid and frustrating at times, but couldn't help chuckle at the outcome. Because come on seriously Lara Jean, it obviously wasn't going to end well!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My favourite thing about this book was the relationship between Lara Jean and her two sisters. I don't have a sister, but I thought the meaningless bickering between Lara Jean and youngest sister Kitty were totally realistic and entertaining. As well as the irrevocably strong relationship between them and their oldest sister Margot. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Although this book didn't include a sophisticated writing style, or a complex story-line, it was enjoyable nonetheless. Especially about half way through. Admittedly I was thinking of giving up on the book toward the beginning; thinking perhaps it was a waste of time. But as I started to get to know the characters more I started to get engrossed in the book. The second book arrives tomorrow for me, and I've heard that it's better than the first. I'm interested to see if I will be gripped quicker by the book than I did by this one. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">During the past few years, more and more books are being made into movies. This is often a controversial topic in the book community as it arises many questions amongst us; will they capture the message the book conveys? Will they cast the right people? Will they stay true to the book? Often enough, many people are left disappointed. Now this may be because it's impossible for film creators to please everyone, or because the creators often misinterpret the book. I believe it's usually a mixture of the two. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">However, rather than weighing out the bad book to movie adaptations, I thought I'd write a post on my favourite. In this post, I'm judging these movies on the casting of characters, the loyalty the film has to the book, and my enjoyment. I have <b>not </b>read all the books of these films, so perhaps this may be an inaccurate judgement. However, all the books have been <i>attempted </i>to be read. So, here are my top 5 book to movie adaptations... in no particular order as I like them for different reasons. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">1. </span>The Harry Potter Saga</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It comes to no surprise that this series is a favourite of mine. Though I have not read the entire series (yet), I have read the first two so can get a sense of all the characters. First of all, the casting for this series is excellent. I don't know whether it be a fluke or superb casting directors who managed to find actors who could portray characters for 10 years perfectly with the development of themselves and their roles. </span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtpBiGli9Yt0oAnUohkQrbXdGKcQ7Vltl0kjCbqgabTGUs3-j_-7zNDCBAsG9v9ahDgjjxEdplcwpsdQtMgiE6j9KFVap2PyEZv61UNptK3rHvKsiXr-Gckze4_d9aG31YJitfMy9oQwCT/s1600/harry-potter-48671548.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" height="117" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtpBiGli9Yt0oAnUohkQrbXdGKcQ7Vltl0kjCbqgabTGUs3-j_-7zNDCBAsG9v9ahDgjjxEdplcwpsdQtMgiE6j9KFVap2PyEZv61UNptK3rHvKsiXr-Gckze4_d9aG31YJitfMy9oQwCT/s200/harry-potter-48671548.jpg" width="200" /></span></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Only two books in I have deep connections and protectiveness over Harry, Ron and Hermione. Though I'm just too young to have read all the books and seen the movies as they had come out, it still feel as if their story will live on with me as it will (hopefully) for future generations. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of my favourite things about this series is how the movies matured and darkened over the years as the books did, perfectly capturing the fate of Harry and the inevitable battle of the Dark Lord. However this change only strengthened the relationship between the audience and the characters. </span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtpBiGli9Yt0oAnUohkQrbXdGKcQ7Vltl0kjCbqgabTGUs3-j_-7zNDCBAsG9v9ahDgjjxEdplcwpsdQtMgiE6j9KFVap2PyEZv61UNptK3rHvKsiXr-Gckze4_d9aG31YJitfMy9oQwCT/s1600/harry-potter-48671548.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I don't know how many times I've watched this series; too many to count. Whenever I'm feeling down or just as a family tradition at Christmas time, these movies always entertain me. As I haven't read all the books, I don't know how accurate they are, but I don't think they have misinterpreted the story and the world that J.K. Rowling created, which is a success in itself. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">2. </span>Love, Rosie</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've done a full review of Love, Rosie (you can find it <a href="http://abibliotopia.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/where-rainbows-end-love-rosie-movie.html" target="_blank">here</a>), the film adaptation of the book Where the Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern so I won't ramble. The film isn't completely accurate to the book but for me, it doesn't matter. It captured perfectly the relationship and the struggle between protagonists Rosie and Alex. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As a fan of Lily Collins and Sam Claflin, I was incredibly happy to learn of their casting as was really excited to see how they played the characters I'd gotten to know and love from the book. Though Lily hasn't appeared in many good films before in my opinion, I loved her in one of my all time favourite movies Stuck In Love and hoped she would bring her powerful yet adorable qualities to this movie. I think she did, and managed to put on a believable English accent as well. Sam Claflin as always was faultless and brought charm and humour to the movie but could also bring tears to my eyes in the serious scenes as well. </span><br />

This proves that a movie doesn't have to follow the book completely accurately as long as it has talented writers on set. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If we were talking serious cinematography, this film wouldn't be judged highly. But based on creating a good, entertaining and enjoyable film, this one ticks all the boxes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As I had been doing this play to death for the past few years, I watched several adaptations of the famous Shakespeare text. My favourite has to be the 1996 version with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. Directed by one of my favourite directors Baz Luhrmann, the film portrays the Renaissance period play so uniquely and intriguingly yet still manages to use the Shakespearean language alongside the modern world without a clash. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of the amazing things about this particular Shakespearean play is how people envision Romeo and Juliet differently. Personally, I see Juliet to be quite mature and intelligent, whereas Romeo to be very naive and fickle. I think DiCaprio and Danes portrayed various characteristics of their characters well to please a wide range of people due to the various interpretations of the characters. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Though the movie isn't completely accurate, I think it's the most enjoyable adaptation of this play which makes studying it more enjoyable as well. However, I would still enjoy this film if I hadn't read the play and studied the texts for so long. The ancient tongue used in such a modern environment is so refreshing and yet makes the story more relatable and consequently enjoyable. </span><br />

Unfortunately, it is the one book here that I haven't read as I didn't particularly like the writing style. However I LOVE the movie. I think the casting is incredible. Logan Lerman portrays the fragile, shy and vulnerable Charlie so well that the audience instantly adores him. Emma Watson impresses us all again with her kind and charismatic personality. And Ezra Miller blows us away with his vivacious, hilarious and kind charm. The time period and music used in this film makes it so much more unique and right up my street as I love the music featured. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I think this film is a perfect example of the importance it is for the author of the novel to be as involved with the film as much as possible due to the author being the director. The movie portrayed the struggle and hardships that Charlie has to face so well without bluntly telling us his history. I also think the film balances the humour and sadness exceptionally. The serious issues are presented respectfully as well as the common and relatable problems that we all face and understand of going to school. This is a movie that I will always say yes to watching and will always laugh and cry over. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">With a perfect cast of actors who can actually act, an incredibly written script, undeniable friendships and chemistry, and a properly budgeted film, it is worthy of a place on this post but also as being one of my favourite films ever. It's an inspiring and unique film that I definitely recommend. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">5.</span> The Hunger Games: Catching Fire</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Last, but certainly not least, is the second instalment of the Hunger Games series; Catching Fire. This film is by far my favourite of the series as the story progressed so much more from the first. I think Katniss developed so much in this movie and we really got to see J-Laws capability of playing the role. I also, obviously loved seeing more Katniss and Peeta! I think this may be the most accurate book to movie adaptation as I remember being so overwhelmed with how perfect the script, the actors, the set and the story was when I watched it in the cinema. The emotions experience every time I watch it when we hear that Katniss must go back in the arena are heart-wrenching. The design of the actual Hunger Games; the island and the Cornucopia were just as I had imaged, as well as the threatening mist, the jabberjays and the lightning tree. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was, for me, the strongest book in the series and also the strongest film. The story became so much more intriguing and fascinating and my connections with the characters become so much stronger. I loved meeting my favourite character of the series; Finnick. I thought that Sam Claflin, again, portrayed the character so well with his effortless charm, attractiveness and arrogance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That's it! Those were my top 5 book to movie adaptations. I'd love to know your thoughts and your favourites! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Spoiler free -</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello! My first post of my summer is going to be a positive one; Wonder by R.J. Palacio.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Around the year 2012, Palacio rewarded us all with the release of this book. It exploded all over social media as a book that everyone must read, and I can now say that I agree. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wonder would never be a book that I would be drawn to. Firstly because it doesn't have fairies fighting or star-crossed lovers or demons. Secondly because I usually read books that allow me to escape from the world that I have issues with everyday, and I had a feeling this book would hold all those issues. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">August Pullman is a 10 year old boy who was born with a disease that resulted in him having a deformed face. The book follows quick-witted August on his first year at school after being home-schooled by his mother all his life. Everything to August is a brand new experience; learning, friends, and unfortunately, bullies. Therefore, I was very nervous and sceptical when going into this book, worried that it'd make me really depressed and hateful toward the universe. But I was proven wrong.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The majority of the book is written in the perspective of August. This may be off-putting (I hadn't realised how young he was before I picked up the book), but August is a very intelligent, intuitive and humorous 10 year old and reading his thoughts and opinions made it impossible for the reader not to fall in love with him and care for him so deeply. I think Palacio made August so bright and fascinating so that the readers can see him as being special on a deeper level, emphasising the importance of personality and the message of the book. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The book is also written in the perspective of many other people; August's friends, his sister and even his sister's friends to present how August and his life affects everybody and show the significance of one young boy. I particularly enjoyed the alterations Palacio made to the writing in each individual's point of view. However, I did find it super frustrating when one character had a chapter with no capital letters...none. AH! The variety of perspectives really made the book feel more real and again emphasised the message of the book. Palacia wrote this book in order for people to be kind, be considerate and understanding of other people's feelings. Therefore, for me, the range of characters that the reader gets to experience amplified this as we truly understood each characters decisions and actions on a personal level.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This book tells the story of life. Specifically the story of one boy's year. Consequently this book doesn't have a complex story line, or an important plot point. But I don't really think that this is necessary as the author managed to create ordinary events become extraordinary through the eyes of an extraordinary individual, August; who manages to stay positive and unbroken through whatever is thrown at him. I think that's what makes this book so special and inspirational. R. J. Palacio manages to write a story that's so simplistic and normal to emphasise that although August's face is deformed, he is still a normal boy. She also manages to present August as such a special individual who manages to influence so many people with his charming and kind personality. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I think that this is a book that you should read, no matter your age, gender, or genre preferences. This book is not one that I would ever pick up but now that I have I don't regret it and will be more optimistic towards similar books in the future. My favourite quote from the book (though is quoted in the book from another book!) is</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Rest Of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness was a very popular book last year from its release date of August 27th 2015. It sparked many people's interest with such a unique and innovative idea of the question we must all ask; what if we're not the chosen one</span>?<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Well, Ness wrote a book answering this question. The Rest of Us Just Live Here focusses on Mike and his friends (Mel, Henna, Jared) in a world where zombie apocalypses and vampire heart throbs are the norm and though us normal guys aren't the victims of it all, we have to just survive it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This book is very different and is nothing what I expected it to be. I think that may be why I didn't enjoy it as much. I was expecting a sci-fi/fantasy/survival novel that would be relatable somehow, woven with charm and sophistication. However, instead it was more of a book dealing with personal and self issues (still relatable) woven with awkwardness and humour. Oh and a little bit of alien freakiness. But only about 5%. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">An element of this book that I did enjoy were the characters. So so different but also relatable at the same time which is weird. But this book was weird. It was refreshing to have a male narrator but also have a sensitive male protagonist who got frustrated and upset and had a little cry. I really appreciated the honesty and depth that Patrick Ness explored with all the characters; each having self-doubt and flaws. But I think the thing that made this book worth reading was the friendship between all the characters that truly did feel real. For that alone I'd pick up this book. There are seriously bizarre elements such as Holy powers and what not but its so cleverly done that it still feels...normal and okay. The fact that the book is written from Mike's point of view makes the story all the more personal and as if we're in the world with them and the craziness and would-be stupidness is great, wanted and funny. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This book was a read of mine for a couple of months (shameful, I know) because I've had many exams going on at school so instead boycotting reading I went for a lighter approach. I think this kind of book is perfect for anyone who wants a light read that they can put down and pick up whenever as this book didn't have a very complex storyline at all. This may be great for some people as a kind of reading cleanse (perhaps to get out of a slump) but for me, I kept thinking it was all going to build up and go somewhere but it didn't. It wasn't unsatisfactory it was simply unexpected and that's probably my own fault.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A very short review as there's little more to comment on really. I hope this review was useful to you in some way and if you've read the book, feel free to comment below your thoughts! Sorry for the huge lack of commitment to this blog. I have this week off and then back to exams so hopefully I will get to write another post!</span><br />

This is (rather lamely) my first post of 2016. I've been pondering on several posts to write but haven't had the time to fully dedicate myself to do it. 2016 is going to be one of the most stressful and important years for me as it's the year of my final exams; English Language, English Literature, Art, Philosophy and Ethics, Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Physics to be exact (I took 3 of my exams last year).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The 'exam' period starts in about 40 days so I'm starting to revise religiously and work hard. Work unfortunately takes priority over reading, but I'm trying to read as much as I can which kind of takes over blogging. I've planned out a few posts for the next few months/weeks or whenever I get the opportunity to write.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My Instagram (abibliotopia) hit 600 followers this month which is wonderful and I'm making sure that I stay committed to that to avoid abandonment of everything.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My reading progress can we see on Goodreads so be sure to add me there for discussion and quick reviews of any books I've managed to read.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have this following week off but I have planned for work, artwork and revision to be done. However I want to finish two books and write one blog post so hopefully that will be accomplished.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

this year and LOVED was A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) by Sarah J. Maas.
Everyone loves Sarah’s sophisticated writing style and incredibly unique and
interesting stories. If you haven’t read any books by Sarah, I think I would
recommend ACOTAR over the Throne of Glass series as I’m very nervous as to
where that series is going. However this is just personal preferences and both
are amazing and definitely a must read. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

trilogy ACOTAR is coming out, A Court Of Mist And Fury. I am very nervous for
this book, not that I doubt that it will be good, but the fact that I am yet
waiting for a ‘Happily Ever After’ in a Sarah J. Maas book and I think with
this one it will get less likely. However it is near the top of my list for
2016.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The next book in the Throne Of
Glass series is due next year too. I am yet to read Queen of Shadows, it’s been
lying on my shelf for a couple of months now but it will definitely be read
soon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">My most anticipated book of 2016
and was actually my most anticipated of 2015 before it was postponed for
another year is Lady Midnight, the first book in one of my favourite authors
Cassandra Clare’s new series The Dark Artifices. I am SO excited. I know little
about this book and I kind of want to keep it that way because I am very ready
for another Cassandra Clare book to completely fall in love and cry all over
like I have done with literally every book she as written. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">All I know about this book is
that we’re introduced to new character Emma, who was briefly in City of
Heavenly Fire, and is the protagonist of this book. I believe we are also
welcomed to familiar faces from previous Shadowhunters books. I cannot
recommend enough reading ALL of the Shadowhunters books: there are nine
published so far, disregarding the book for children in the Magisterium series.
Six in The Mortal Instruments series and three in The Infernal Devices. I
suggest that if you want to read Lady Midnight, you read these first IN ORDER
OF PUBLICATION to avoid spoilers. Of course this isn’t necessary but it’s
probable that you’ll love Lady Midnight and want to read more but already have
spoiled the other series for yourself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The book had very mixed reviews

<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Aaand another favourite author of mine is releasing a book.
This one is the sequel in Jennifer L. Armentrout’s The Titan series. The first
book was incredible, allowing me to see and understand (and love) a character
that I originally disliked. This series is a spin off from Armentrout’s earlier
series The Covenant series which is fantastic! I read the five books so fast
and cried SO much! It is not necessary to read The Covenant series before The
Titan series, however it highly spoils the entire series and it’s so good that
you won’t regret reading the Covenant first. If you love action, love and Greek
Mythology READ THESE! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

books of 2016. I’ve kept the list short as it’s the year of my final exams and
don’t want to get too distracted but of course I’m going to read more books
than THIS. If you have any books you recommend for me or are on your list for
2016, comment below or you can find me on<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Today's post will be a quick one as I've basically done nothing today as I'm
ill :( However the festivities have yet to fail as I made gingerbread biscuits
today! I've never made gingerbread before but it was so easy (basically 3

you're melting your ingredients, in a large bowl mix the flour, bicarbonate of

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Only 5 days until Christmas day and the weather in England is so miserable and dull you wouldn't believe it. SO I thought that I would write this short post about a few books you should read this holiday to cheer you up and get your festive fever going! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #38761d;">#1</span></span><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Harry Potter Series</span></span></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">J. K. Rowling</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The firsts book/series is one that I have shamefully not read because I was born a couple years late and missed the huge hype and even bigger queues at book stores that my brother waited in for hours: The Harry Potter series. Yep, I haven't read this series BUT I WILL this holiday and in the new year! I swear! This is one of the most famous series ever and is one that I know that a lot of people in the Potter fandom read every Christmas religiously. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The series is so magical and emotional that it's perfect to completely indulge yourself in when you're able to fully relax at this time of the year. A tradition in my household is to binge watch the movies at least three times a year because they're just all round awesome and we inevitably watch them at Christmas. There're seven books, however they're so cheap on paperback and on kindle. Also new book covers have come out. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So, if you're struggling on what to read and you're like me, read the Harry Potter series! Whether it's for the first time or the hundredth time...</span><a class="irc_mil i3597" data-noload="" href="http://www.wzip88.com/" jsaction="mousedown:irc.rl;keydown:irc.rlk" style="background-color: #f1f1f1; border: 0px; color: #660099; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img class="irc_mi" src="http://www.wzip88.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/923d37bf-5350-454f-b502-5126843df00e.jpg" height="359" style="background-color: white; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(45deg, rgb(239, 239, 239) 25%, transparent 25%, transparent 75%, rgb(239, 239, 239) 75%, rgb(239, 239, 239)), -webkit-linear-gradient(45deg, rgb(239, 239, 239) 25%, transparent 25%, transparent 75%, rgb(239, 239, 239) 75%, rgb(239, 239, 239)); background-position: 0px 0px, 10px 10px; background-size: 21px 21px; border: 0px; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.65098) 0px 5px 35px; margin-top: 60px;" width="640" /></a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A book that I will be starting within the next couple of days is Let It Snow. The content of the book is three short stories each written by a different author, but they all link together in some way.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> I've heard very mixed views about this book but what do you expect? It's written by three different authors who all have different writing styles which different people will like and dislike. I think this is such a good idea and I hope that it will make me feel all Christmassy and happy. I've owned this book for over a year after planning to read it last Christmas, but getting sidetracked so it's near the top of my list for this year. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;">Much like Harry Potter, the Night Circus is a book about magic and magicians. This book was so popular a year or so ago and was all over bookstagram. I've read about half the book however I was in a reading slump and wasn't appreciating it to what it deserves so I stopped. From what I did read it's very magical, descriptive and innovative book that I recommend and therefore I believe this time of the year is perfect time to give it a read if you haven't already. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is another very festive read and is basically only suitable to read this time of the year. This book is filled with twelve different festive stories based around Christmas and New Years. None of the stories are linked and they are all by different authors. I have read one or two of the shot stories last year and they were so enjoyable and quick to read. I'm very intrigued to read the one by Laini Taylor who I know from reading the amazing </span><i style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">Daughter of Smoke and Bone</i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> trilogy and Kiersten White, author of </span><i style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">Illusions of Fate</i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I think this kind of book is perfect this time of the year as it can sometimes be quite a hectic time, so a book that you can easily pick up and down to read a short story is great. </span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Lunar Chronicles is a series of four fairytale- retelling books, all set in the far future in a fantasy world. This series is one of my favourite of all time. The storyline and the characters are instantly lovable. The magical and creative plot is perfect this time of the year, and the series has recently come to an end with Winter coming out in November. Maybe buy the entire series for Christmas? You won't regret it...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's Christmastime! And now that I've finally broken up from school I have decided that everyday until Christmas day I will upload a blog post to celebrate Christmas and also to make up for my lack of dedication this year. I thought a great way to kick this off would be to bake some cupcakes! This recipe desires no electric equipment or rare ingredients so it's one that basically everyone can enjoy. Hoping that this lifts my spirit for Christmas, and yours, lets bake!</span><br />

Then mix the wet ingredients together: the egg, egg yolk, and the black treacle. This may take some time, and if using a wooden spoon like I did instead of a hand or electrical whisk, make sure there are no lumps of butter in the mixture. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 28.5714px;">Once the wet ingredients are combined, in a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients: the flour, cocoa powder, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 28.5714px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 28.5714px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 28.5714px;">Afterwards, warm the milk on the hob and dissolve the baking powder in it. Be careful <span style="color: #cc0000;">not to boil </span>the milk. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 28.5714px;">Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gradually. If your milk has a foamy top to it, pour it in to your mixture.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 28.5714px;">Mix all of the ingredients well for a thick, creamy dark brown substance. </span></span><br />

To do this, I used an ice-cream scoop and tablespoon. Don't apply too much mixture into one- you can always add more but you can't take away! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 28.5714px;">Bake the cupcakes for <span style="color: #cc0000;">20 minutes</span>, or until when you poke them with a skewer, it comes out dry. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When they're baked, allow them to fully cool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Personally, I don't thick a cupcake is complete wither the buttercream. Cream the butter in a bowl and very gradually add the icing sugar. If you aren't using an electrical whisk, persevere! I always find making buttercream very frustrating but it's worth it. When the buttercream is thick, creamy and smooth, add the milk if necessary and the vanilla extract.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When your cupcakes are completely cooled, just add the buttercream! Many people are led to believe that you must pipe your buttercream, but they look just as good and taste as delicious doing it the traditional way. Either pipe the buttercream or spread it on the cupcake, preferably using a palette knife or alternatively a teaspoon. Apply as much icing as you would like. Optionally, you can then decorate with confetti, sprinkles, chocolate and edible glitter! Enjoy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hope you liked this post and give these cupcakes a go! I'm going to go and enjoy a delicious festive Christmas cupcake and read a book...</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Recently I have been in a few reading slumps, and they aren't the nicest things because at times all I want to do is read however this makes it merely impossible. I have decided that I would write a hopefully short blog post about how you could get out of them. Reading slumps are an annoyance especially if you read often and to be honest this year so far I have been in quite a few. A few books on my shelf are the books that I have tried to read and failed and this can get very frustrating as for me I get annoyed at myself when I can't concentrate. And before I go on I would like to apologies for the lack of posts from me, I'm hoping that I will start posting a lot more near Christmas. So here are a few tips...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: italic;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>1) Wait</b></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: italic;">. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is nothing worse than forcing yourself to read a book. No matter how hard you try you won't be able to concentrate and possibly miss important parts of the book so just wait and ride it out until the slump is over. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>2) Start reading a favourite. </b>Pick a book from your bookshelf you know you will love, or maybe an easy read. Personally I always go towards the Anna and the French Kiss series by Stephanie Perkins which I can get into so easily as I have read all three a few times. Although The Time Traveler's Wife is one of my all time favourite books, I feel like it's a book which is quite a difficult read and to appreciate Audrey Niffenegger's amazing work you really need to concentrate and during a reading slump its the last thing you can or want to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>3) Make your space comfortable. </b>Wherever you read make sure that you are comfortable, personally I always read in my bed with a cup of tea on my side table and more often than not I will light my vanilla lime Yankee candle just to make me feel more relaxed while reading. As well as lighting candles and having a good cup of tea in hand in may be useful if try and eliminate background noises which can really distract you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>4) Are audiobooks the answer? </b>Instead of a physical book in hand why not go for the option of audiobooks. These are becoming more and more popular as its so easy to access now. Another option is the Kindle, however I can't really promote this as I haven't got one myself but Hannah does and she said she enjoys reading of it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>5) Try a new genre. </b>This is something I need to start doing as I always stick to the same genre. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>6) Set yourself goals. </b>Set yourself a daily goal of reading a chapter from a book and maybe this will push you to read more as you get more and more into a book. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>7) Find a reading buddy. </b>Ask a fellow book addict to start reading a book with you (at the same time) , not necessarily in the same room though. This may prompt you to read further if they are ahead of you and who wants to hear spoilers? You could also discuss what you thought about it after and maybe even write a short blog post with both your views on it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>8) Re-arrange your bookshelf. </b>You may even find books you didn't know you had! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">Spoiler Free</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello! Halloween is less than a week away and thought I'd share an appropriate book to read if you're looking for something a bit darker to enjoy.Last year, Black Ice was published at around November time - perfect for the cold months- and I read it straight away.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Black Ice is the story of protagonist Britt Pfeiffer and best friend Korbie travelling to the mountains for spring break. Britt's attempt to be adventurous and impress her ex-boyfriend rapidly go downhill when a treacherous storm suddenly hits the mountain, and the two girls are left stranded; vulnerable and afraid in the dangerous ice and snow. The two seem hopeless, and know it themselves. Fortunately they're found by two men who come to their aid. Their luck melts into doubt when Britt questions their loyalty and whether they would have been safer on their own...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The book is what it sounds. Two teenage girls helplessly stranded in drastic conditions, shivering and desperate for a hero. Although many people criticize the book's story: finding it too much of a teen movie like narrative with annoying characters (true), I found the book enjoyable. No one can deny the beautifully detailed descriptive writing of Becca Fitzpatrick (author of <i>hush, hush</i> series), creating a precise environment of the white blanketed world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The characters are very stereotypical. Primarily targeting the girls. Slim and attractive American teens, our protagonist is intelligent and her 'bestie' naive. A lot of the dialogue in the first few chapters is of the two gossiping about irrelevant content - this doesn't last too long, trust me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The book includes aspects of thriller, mystery, and romance woven throughout. Uniquely, I preferred the romance element as I found the mystery and the 'plot twist' totally predictable within the first half of the book.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Although this book may sound like one that's best left in the book store, I did thoroughly appreciate the easiness of reading a simply story and light-hearted tone book. Sometimes we do want something that doesn't require us to think and engage seriously with - especially if you're finding it difficult to dedicate your full attention to a book due to school/work or personal issues. If this is so, I'd definitely recommend this book - even if it's one of the ones you cheaply buy on kindle - as I believe if you've been finding it difficult to get into reading lately, this will give you the final push.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Rating this book purely on its storyline, I'd give it 5/10. However I wouldn't rule it out as a bad book, but reflecting on it now I know where it's been lacking.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Where Rainbows End </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I read this book over a year ago in anticipation for the release of the movie. A year late review is probably better than neglecting it altogether and furthermore, I assume there are plenty of people who have taken time in watching the film, but not reading the book. So, perhaps this review will push this book further up your TBR list...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Although a hefty 558 pages, this book will not take you long to read as it is written in various forms of e-mails, text messages and letters. Usually this would put me off a book, however Cecelia Ahern managed to do it so successfully; the first person narrative created an excellent perception of every character. The way each letter pieced together throughout the entirety of the book created a perfect story as well as characters which connected you emotionally to them all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Something that differentiates this book from any other, and the film is the fact that it spreads over 50 years. This allows you to experience families growing and shrinking. The book starts with Rosie and Alex: two best friends planning Rosie's 7th Birthday party. The language patently changes throughout the book in the terms of slang and spelling in the younger years, and becoming more sophisticated albeit remaining colloquial as the two characters progress on in life. Much like there relationship, being innocent and childlike but then advancing onto something more complicated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN_4AqU97EZ3v9wq3GTsj2yJf8_C8RNUEuJIHIbpjhnTgC7-ybzKzLq3fZ_Ni2JME98FOleF0d_awvTZGt2ITdA4AuvE5LGUjpVAM8Gjh15VweeZ1RW7xaYS2OYQcrdH9gnXaRHwZTDFE1/s1600/Where+The+Rainbows+End.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN_4AqU97EZ3v9wq3GTsj2yJf8_C8RNUEuJIHIbpjhnTgC7-ybzKzLq3fZ_Ni2JME98FOleF0d_awvTZGt2ITdA4AuvE5LGUjpVAM8Gjh15VweeZ1RW7xaYS2OYQcrdH9gnXaRHwZTDFE1/s200/Where+The+Rainbows+End.jpg" width="125" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As well as relationships, this book holds a sense of dreaming and wishing in life and going for what you deserve and desire. That aspect was particularly important for me as it is something I question daily - 'what am I going to do when I'm older'. Many relatable life -long topics pop up in this book which make it even more relatable and special.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Although it's been over a year, I can vividly remember specific aspects of this book which basically proves how enjoyable it is. This book genuinely was a 'roller-coaster of emotions' which had me belting with laughter and also bringing tears to my eyes- and for that reason alone I would recommend it. This book shows the perfections and imperfections of life that majority of people can relate to and build an attachment to. Therefore I rate this book 8/10 for originality, great humour and all-round enjoyment.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Personally, I think the movie was very true to the book. It remained the same slapstick and witty humour and kept the heart-warming romance. Though the film did not stretch to the extreme timeline of the book, it still had the same feel and message to it. Due to this, certain story-lines and characters were removed, but the film is primarily based on the incredible rare relationship of Rosie and Alex,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We start, much life the book with Rosie and Alex, two inseparable best friends aged around 7 talking and exploring the wonders of the world and all the magical possibilities it holds for them when they grow up. The transition through their childhood and young adulthood is shown very well through fashion, hair trends, and also music.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The actors in this film were perfect for me. Sam Claflin cannot fail and Lily Collins is one of my favourite actors; playing an important role in my favourite romance movie <i>Stuck In Love. </i>Personally I think Lily's British accent was good and the couple created undeniable chemistry.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've watched this film with both my friend, and my mum separately. Both audiences thoroughly enjoyed the film due to: connection with characters, real life dilemmas, hilarious script and lovely storyline. This film is pure entertainment. There are aspects of this film that are slightly cringe-worthy, however it is not in a negative way. It adds to the constantly flowing humour.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I'm sure there are people who complain about the characters who aren't in the film, and complain about the ages and timeline being shorter. But honestly I think if it was achieved it wouldn't be as enjoyable. There would probably have to be several different actors playing the two characters Rosie and Alex and it would create the strong connection/bond to the character's that you form when watching. Every book-to-movie adaptation will have advantages and disadvantages, similarities and differences, but I strongly believe that this movie was a success and a regular cheer-up movie for me.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Although I have unfortunately and shamelessly neglected this blog for a couple of months, I haven't neglected the world of literature so I do have plenty of books to catch up on to review! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Starting with one that I surprisingly, thoroughly enjoyed; Paper Towns.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have no misunderstanding or am I unappreciative of the fine works of John Green's spectacular writing style, however at times I thought his stories to be a bit overrated. I was included in the hype of The Fault In Our Stars book and then the exciting build up to the film, but looking back I can't say it was my favourite book, nor it even being my favourite contemporary book. Nonetheless it was still an emotional yet enjoyable book to read. I then went on to buying and reading Looking For Alaska and was utterly disappointed and underwhelmed. I found the story to be uneventful and I didn't have any strong emotions towards the characters. Therefore, my initial thought was - is TFIOS John Green's only <i>really </i>good book? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I thought I had lost faith in his books. I do want to now just say I don't think his books are bad. Far from it. John Green has an incredibly talent to use words so well and eloquently when describing everyday life: using metaphorical explanations and techniques when describing that make us laugh and cry. I just had high expectations for LfA and I just didn't like it as much as I <i>wanted </i>to. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I didn't think I would read Paper Towns as Charlotte loved LfA and enjoyed that more than Paper Towns. However I love film, so thought it only be right to read the book before the film came out. And my repetitive thoughts when reading every page up until the last was that I love it. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

So when she cracks open a window and climbs into his life—dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge—he follows. After their all-nighter ends, and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues—and they're for him.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Contemporary novels have never been my favourite, so for one to spark something in me is special. Paper Towns did just that. I think the main pure enjoyment I got from this book was that I found it so funny. The effortless and witty humour of John Green's evident opinion on perhaps unique but totally relatable teenage protagonists made me fall in love with them. <i>All </i>of them. This had my laughing out loud at the fast paced dialogue between the three boys: Quentin, Ben and Radar. I think the main love I instantly had for the characters (particularly the boys) was that I familiarised them with my own friends who can be described as geeky, kind, funny and weird. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The chapters featuring around the relationship between Quentin and Margo I sped through as it was so easy to just be fascinated in their infatuation with one another. But by far my favourite part of the book (and the majority of it) is when the team stick together and try and find the mysterious Margo. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For me, the book is so strongly based around the theme of friendship more than anything which is why I respected and adored it so much. I also learnt from it. I sometimes find with friendships that I can be disappointed with how someone deals with something or treats me. However this book had me understanding that people's individuality and flaws makes them who they are, and I think this helped me reflect and have a better understanding and forgiving for people and their actions. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px;">“Isn't it also that on some fundamental level we find it difficult to understand that other people are human beings in the same way that we are? We idealize them as gods or dismiss them as animals.”</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 26px;">Overall, I loved this book. The books I usually read are often filled with despair and tragedy, which I find interesting and gripping. Although, occasionally I want to read a book that just fills me with happiness and satisfaction and this book (much like Fangirl) accomplished that, so I am therefore rating Paper Towns 8/10 and would personally definitely recommend and class as one of my favourite contemporary novels. I also am very excited to see this book's adaptation and come to life on the screen later this month.</span></span></span></div>

I read Solitaire quite a while back along with a few others as I just couldn't stop reading. Which was good but I never got anything done because of it. So here it finally is my Solitaire review. Its written by Alice Oseman who I had no idea about, but I saw some good reviews and thought why not. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
The books protagonist is Victoria Spring. She drinks diet lemonade a lot and her hobbies consist of sleeping and blogging which I can relate to. Shes goes to an all girls school which is linked to an all boys, however for sixth form you can chose which ever one you wish. Shes very much a pessimist and has a very negative outlook on life, she just doesn't care. Which I sort of liked about her, it wasn't like she was this boy crazy, party animal teenager. Although this got very exhausting because she was constantly judging people for the way they were, and this I did not like. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><i>"The large majority of teenagers who attend Higgs are soulless, conformist idiots. I have successfully integrated myself into a small group of girls who I consider to be "good people," but sometimes I still feel that I might be the only person with a consciousness, like a video game protagonist, and everyone else are computer-generated extras who have only a select few actions, such as "initiate meaningless conversation" and "hug."</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">It felt like she thought she was better than everyone else because she didn't conform to social acceptance. I did like her and I could relate to how she was feeling but I can understand why people would hate her.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #181818;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Micheal Holden, is a very...weird character lets just say and Tori is more or less juxtapose to Micheal. I have come to realise that Alice Oseman likes to come up with very depressing and weird characters in this book. He has very interesting hobbies but I wont say anything that will spoil the book too much. There is also Lucas who is a childhood friend of Tori's. Throughout this book shes quite rude to him and it actually made me feel a bit sorry for his character because he was nothing but nice to her, again proving shes a bit of a bitch. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">The main basis of this book is around this group called 'Solitaire', who like to play pranks around Higgs. All Tori wants to know is who is causing them and what they mean, this is where Micheal comes in because like Tori he wants to find out who is behind this. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">What I didn't like about the book was that it didn't feel special to me, unlike If you Find Me which is one of my favourite books. Yes after I thought "wow I liked this" but it didn't last long. I read others peoples thoughts and I started to agree and criticize the book. However I give my props for Oseman for publishing her books at only the age of 19! And because of that I am impressed as not a lot of people can write that deeply or even write such complex characters. The writing flowed nicely and I didn't get bored of the style, I would gladly read another Alice Oseman book so therefore i give this 6.5/10. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This month I read and finished<b> A Court of Thorns and Roses</b> by Sarah J Maas. I expected this book to be promising due to my love for the authors ongoing series, the <i>Throne of Glass</i> series. And I was not let down.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Feyre, youngest of three sisters at the age of 19, must go out everyday to hunt and provide money for her family at such dire and tough times. She risks her life to do this, as the woods are known to be extremely dangerous, due to the potential Fae lurking there - if you happen to encounter a Fae, you won't last long. One day, whilst out hunting, Feyre discovers a wolf. Feyre considers whether to kill this beautiful creature,as it could be a Fae, however due to the violent things she's heard the Fae capable of doing and has done to humans, her hesitation didn't last long and she sent an arrow through the wolf's eye.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That evening, Feyre's intolerable family received an unwanted visitor Fae, demanding to know who murdered his friend. After Feyre's confession, she chose the offer to go and live with the Fae for the rest of her life, rather than be executed. However little does she know that her hatred towards the Faeries and this threatening beast, Tamlin, will dissipate, and be replaced with something else...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The book is mixture of a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, my favourite fairtytale, and Faerie lore. I found the book a little slower paced than <i>Throne of Glass </i>however feisty and lovable characters are provided just the same. Sarah J Maas' writing style and world building is incredible and the ending of this book was totally unpredictable: even though it was a fairytale retelling. The last hundred pages or so were so action packed and fast paced I couldn't put it down. This novel included much more romance than SJM's previous books as throughout there was heart-warming intimacy... and Tamlin - *swoon*. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have high hopes for this series (trilogy), and I just hope that it does have a happy ending which the <i>Throne of Glass</i> series seems to be against. Although I have heard a few theories for what will happen later in the series which I'm totally against, the imagination in this book and world is commendable. I would rate this book 9/10, and a definite read for young adult/adult high fantasy and romance fans!</span><br />

If you follow us on Instagram - biblio_topia - you may know that I (Hannah) love the author Jennifer L. Armentrout - <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">@jlarmentrout </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today, I am able to share the cover for the very anticipated finale in The Dark Elements Trilogy. Much like the Lux series, my all time favourite series, the books have had a makeover and boy they look good, and this post is so you can all see...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I've owned the first two books, WHITE HOT KISS and STONE COLD TOUCH ever since they came out, however have still to read them. I was planning to marathon the series once the final book is released, although now my eyes have seen the gorgeous new covers, I think I will give in to the temptation of reading them sooner. If it's written by JLA, I will like it. 'Nuff said. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">If you haven't heard of this series before, I will be writing a review for the books (most likely the first one to avoid spoilers) within a week. But in the meantime, here's the synopses for the books. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">White Hot Kiss</span></h3>
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">"</span><span style="background-color: white;">Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses. </span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Raised among the Wardens—a race of gargoyles tasked with hunting demons and keeping humanity safe—Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she loves the most. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy, incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she's crushed on since forever. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know all her secrets. Layla knows she should stay away, but she's not sure she wants to—especially when that whole no-kissing thing isn't an issue, considering Roth has no soul. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">But when Layla discovers she's the reason for the violent demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her chances with Zayne…it could brand her a traitor to her family. Worse yet, it could become a one-way ticket to the end of the world."</span></span></i><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><i>"Layla Shaw is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life—no easy task for a seventeen-year-old who’s pretty sure things can’t get worse. Her impossibly gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious powers of her soul-stealing kiss. The Warden clan that has always protected her is suddenly keeping dangerous secrets. And she can barely think about Roth, the wickedly hot demon prince who understood her in ways no one else could.</i></span></span></h3>

<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But sometimes rock bottom is only the beginning. Because suddenly Layla’s powers begin to evolve, and she’s offered a tantalizing taste of what has always been forbidden. Then, when she least expects it, Roth returns, bringing news that could change her world forever. She’s finally getting what she always wanted, but with hell literally breaking loose and the body count adding up, the price may be higher than Layla is willing to pay…"</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Every choice has consequences—but seventeen-year-old Layla faces tougher choices than most. Light or darkness. Wickedly sexy demon prince Roth, or Zayne, the gorgeous, protective Warden she never thought could be hers. Hardest of all, Layla has to decide which side of herself to trust.<br /><br />Layla has a new problem, too. A Lilin—the deadliest of demons—has been unleashed, wreaking havoc on those around her…including her best friend. To keep Sam from a fate much, much worse than death, Layla must strike a deal with the enemy while saving her city—and her race—from destruction.<br /><br />Torn between two worlds and two different boys, Layla has no certainties, least of all survival, especially when an old bargain comes back to haunt them all. But sometimes, when secrets are everywhere and the truth seems unknowable, you have to listen to your heart, pick a side—and then fight like hell…"</span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This year I
haven’t read as many books as I had hoped so far. A main reason for this is
time. I've been very busy at school lately as exam season is too close that
when I do get a chance to read, I'm way too tired that I just snuggle up in
front of the TV and Netflix my life. However, when I have a Jennifer L.
Armentrout book I know that there will be no distractions as they’re so damn
good. To express how much I enjoyed <i>Don’t Look Back</i> to you in one sentence it
would be that my cup of tea went cold when I was reading this book because I didn't want
to stop reading it to drink. Whoa. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">-Two best
friends disappeared one night, Samantha and Cassie. Only one returned. Samantha
was found soaking wet and covered in blood, wandering through the woods with no
memory of anything; even her name. Samantha has to rediscover her life and her
past to try and find out what happened the night her and her friend went
missing and how she can find Cassie. However she doesn't like what she finds…
Samantha was the queen bitch of the school, alongside Cassie. She had it all –
popularity, wealth and a dream boyfriend. Although looking at it all from a
different perspective, Sam doesn't like her previous life, and she hates her
previous self.-<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This book
was perfect for me. The entire premise of the book was so original and fascinating
and as it was a mixture of different genres, it allowed me to experience different
emotions with each page – supernatural, paranormal, crime, mystery, and romance =
awesomeness. This book fits into the genre of awesomeness. The only JLA books I’ve
read are The Lux Series, and it is my favourite series ever. This book is up
there for being one of my fav’s and Jennifer is still my favourite author. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A way to
describe this book would be a mixture of <i>Mara Dyer </i>and <i>Pretty Little Liars</i>.
Both of which I love… BUT THIS IS MY FAVOURITE. The book was also very personal
for me as I felt that I could really relate to Samantha, the protagonist, as I
have experienced being friends with the ‘popular’ people at school and was
lucky enough (unlike Samantha) to get out before any damage could have been
done. With Sam’s chance to have a new life due to the memory loss, she is able
to reflect on her relationships and build them again: learning who her true
friends are through new eyes. Jennifer L. Armentrout is always able to get me
having strong emotions and attachments to the characters. Even though we get
fragments of Sam acting and treating people awfully, we still empathize and
love her. There is also, of course a gorgeous boy to drool over as it wouldn't
be a JLA book without one! I had a soft spot for Scott, Samantha’s twin
brother. They didn't have a relationship full of hugs and kisses, however there was
always an appreciation and respect blooming between the two (which
had to be rebuilt like them all due to her amnesia). Scott was very protective
towards Sam when times were rough and it reminded me of the relationship
between me and my brother: never taking anything seriously but if anything were
to happen to me, if a boy was to piss me off, he’d be there to give him a black
eye ;) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Through the
entire book, Sam is trying to figure out who is responsible for what happened
the night her and Cassie disappeared. Whether it be herself or someone else. As
I usually read books of the same genre and target audience, I usually figure out
the ‘plot twist’ about halfway through the book. However on this rare occasion,
Jennifer’s fantastic story had me changing my mind on ever chapter when trying
to figure out who hurt Sam. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The story
had quite a rushed ending, which I think was a good aspect of the book. It was
how Sam was experiencing things herself and it had me wide eyed for the last
20 pages. The book was also special to me as it tackled real life events that many people have experienced or know people who have themselves, which just added more
emotion and relation to the characters and book. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall, I'm
giving this book <b>10/10</b>. I LOVED IT. I don’t want to say too much as this book
is something that you should read yourself and if it is spoilt will not be
worth reading. This year I set myself an aim to own all of Jennifer L.
Armentrout’s books. This incredible book has just made me more eager and my
bank account emptier. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This review is on Emily Murdoch's debut novel "If you find me". This novel was a little different from what I usually pick and I hadn't heard a lot about it either. The book dare I say was a bit of "lets buy this for the sake of it" and I tend to do this a lot just because I like t0 buy books. I haven't seen many people posting on instagram about it and so I'm sure many people won't have heard about this book before. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
<b>"A beautiful book about survival, identity, family, love and so much more."</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">JENNY DOWNHAM, author of Before I Die.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The books itself was quite a quick read for me but I think that's because I so engrossed in it. The main character Carey lives in the woods in a broken-down camper hidden deep in the forest with her six year old sister, Jenessa and her drug-addicted mother. Her mum tends to disappear for months on end leaving Carey and Jenessa to look after themselves, what comes with this is the close relationship between the sisters. Carey becomes very much like a mother figure to Jenessa - who unfortunately doesn't actually talk. Two strangers turn up at the camper and one turns out to be her father. Carey has to now learn how to adapt to a very different world, one she spent so long away from. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The other characters are Mrs Haskell (I would say she was a social worker). Melissa, her dad's wife. Delaney, Melissa's daughter. Pixie and Ryan, Carey's friends at school. Melissa was a very likable character and she soon bonded with the girls and tried to make them feel at home as much as possible. Jenessa tended to "blend in" with the family a lot more but I think that was because she was younger and young children can adapt to new situations more easily, in my opinion. Carey for me, as strong of a character she is, didn't really find it easy to cope with her new lifestyle, she had a few panic attacks here and there because of the busy life she was presented with, rather than the quiet of the forest. She often referred to Melissa and her Dad as Ma'am and Sir which made it hard to see them as Mother and Father figures, it was more like she was on an interview. I hated the character Delaney with a passion, she was everything I dislike, rude and malicious. It wasn't till the end that I started to develop an attachment to the background characters. If I talk to0 much about each one it may spoil it so I will leave the rest to your imagination. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Overall my feelings on this books are just pure amazement, I loved it. As soon as I finished it, I wanted more I wanted these characters to carry on, which is one thing I really don't like about stand alone novels. I believe this book would be good for teenagers of any gender and I feel like it's something I would go back to if I ever needed a quick read. I give this book 9.5/10. </span><br />

All the Bright Places is a romantic novel by Jennifer Niven. I discovered this
book while perusing through amazon and decided to buy it along with a few
others. To start with I had no idea who the author was so I have done some
background information. Overall she has written 8 books ranging from nonfiction and fiction, both historical and contemporary, adult and Y<span style="background: #FFFFF3;">A. All of her books are very different and as I was
looking her up she had said "all my books are all over the map, but if you
look closely they share a common theme: they are stories about ordinary people
doing extraordinary things." At this moment in time I am trying to
multitask but its definitely not working, listening to
music and trying to type is not the best idea and I have had to go
back twice now because I typed out the lyrics... Anyway back to the review, I
knew straight away I was going to like the story to this book, give me a
romance over action any day. I had heard a lot of good things about this
and it just appealed to me, I like books that make me think over everything
when I'm finished or leave me feeling completely lost.</span></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Violet Markey (the protagonist) is devastated by the death of her
sister and Theodore Finch well he’s basically obsessed with death. They
meet on the bell tower at their school both wanting to jump but in
fact end up saving each other. How far will Violet go to save the one she
loves?</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

When I first started reading this I felt as though it was just another Fault in
Our Stars hype but for me it definitely wasn't. I felt as though I
could connect with the characters a lot more and because of this I
got attached to them and actually cried more than I did with
John Green's overly hyped book, but that's another matter. I have read
some comments on goodreads and some said that this book
is glamorizing suicide which kind of upset me a little because if you
read the authors notes at the end it actually tells you what inspired to write
these characters and it does involve personal experiences. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

The book is set in the state of Indiana, America and the characters both attend
High School. Before they meet on the bell tower they had never really spoken to
each other before and actually belong to different groups inside the school.
"Theodore Freak" is what Finch (he tends to be called
"Finch" throughout the book) is nicknamed by the group that Violet
belongs to although she hasn't really been herself since the accident and
therefore doesn't quite fit in anymore. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Their relationship is quite
rocky at the start and it can sometimes feel like Finch is stalking her but
Violet ends up falling for the mysterious boy and they have to be one of
my favourite book couples. I was "awwing" the
whole way through and the chemistry between the two characters was undeniable. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

The disappointments in this book for me were the other characters.
They lacked the likability and didn't leave much of an impression on
me. However saying that I think it was necessary as otherwise there would have
been too much to focus on. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Overall this book left me feeling like I had been stranded on a desert island
for days, it really messed with my emotions and made me think about how lucky
my life truly is. I think this book is good for anyone who likes quite an
intense read because it’s definitely not a quick read. As much as I
loved this book, for me I'm very fed up with the same format in the romance
genre. They always seem to try and make characters so different and intelligent
when to be quite honest I would like to read a book about average people, at
least then I can sort of hope it would happen to me. I have decided to give this
book a 9/10, because I loved the characters and the start of the book but the
ending was a little disappointing. </span></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
