Safe With Me by Kristen Proby : A Review!

I would say that this is more of a general review. I decided to write it after I finished reading the most recent book last night. Basically the series I am basing this review on is the With Me In Seattle Series by Kristen Proby, which has a total of 5 books so far and 1 novella.

Fall/ Autumn Nail Art!

Hi guys,

Actually on time for the season this time, unlike my summer nail art tutorial. This is just one of ta few ideas I have in my head for Fall/ Autumn Nail Art so if this post is well received as I hope it will be, expect to see another coming up!

Since leaves falling off the trees is the most noticeable aspect of this time of year, I thought why not go for the obvious this time around. Plus it looks cute too!

So if you want to spend the autumn months rocking a cute nail art design carry on reading!

The Fall/Autumn TV Shows I Can't Wait For!

Hi everyone!

So today I thought I would go down a slightly different direction. Normally I only post about books, movies and beauty but today since it's the right time of year for it I thought I would share with you all the Fall/ Autumn TV Shows that I can't wait for.

Simple Perfection by Abbi Glines : A Review!

Hi!

What's that no more books I did not finish? Well I've decided to give that series of posts a rest for a little bit mainly because I'm at Uni right now and therefore can't cart my book case round with me, making if difficult to track down all the books I didn't finish reading so, for now Books I Did Not Finish is over. I know you're all so disappointed! But never fear, I may slip one in here and there when I'm home for the weekend!

So instead today is a book review and a new release at that!

Simple Perfection (Rosemary Beach# 5)
by
Abbi Glines



Simple Perfection is the fifth book in the Rosemary Beach Series by Abbi Glines (other books in this series are, Fallen Too Far, Never Too Far, Twisted Perfection and Forever Too Far). Simple Perfection is the continuation of Woods (first seen in Fallen Too Far - Rush and Blaire's story) and Della's story from book 1 in the Perfection series, Twisted Perfection.

Did that make sense? A little confusing but let's role with it.

The Mortal Instruments City of Bones Film: A Review!

Finally!

It's a post that isn't a book review/tag/books I did not finish! It's still a review but for a film instead! And a very popular one at that. So a little background detail yesterday (Thursday 19th September 2013) I finally got around to watching the Mortal Instruments City of Bones movie.

I know shocking right? Considering how excited I was. Damn my busy schedule that appeared out of nowhere when this was first released!

The Mortal Instruments City of Bones: Movie


Tagline: There is a world hidden within our own.

Okay so when I sat down to watch this film, my expectations (despite the epic shambolic Rotten Tomatoes score) was still very high. I had done no research in to what fans thought how much money it made at the box office, until after I finished watching it. In hindsight I probably should have done all that before I watched it then I wouldn't have been writing notes like a raving lunatic through out the film about all the things that were just wrong! I know I've made it clear that I don't like books to be changed all that much when they go to the big screen but I do allow some scope like I loved The Hunger Games and parts of that were different. But this was so far off the mark it just stopped being funny. 

Warning this a spoilerific in depth review. If you want to read a none spoiler review on whether it's good or not, leave now. You have been warned.

One Tiny Lie vs Ten Tiny Breaths by K A Tucker : A Review!

Hi, everyone.

First apologies, I know I usually get my posts done and uploaded for 10am everyday so going by that this post is a little bit later than usual. However, like I said last week I have been busy but I am determined to keep to my schedule. Besides it is still Wednesday so at least I didn't miss a day!
We're still on track to keep up with the posting schedule I started in July, which quite frankly amazes me, I'm not the best at following through on my plans!

Any-who today's post is a review of sorts. And I just realised I have been posting a lot more about books recently, I hope you don't mind that. Any way, so today I thought I would do a comparison/ review of One Tiny Lie and Ten Tiny Breaths, both by K A Tucker, One Tiny Lie is Livie Cleary's story, whilst Ten Tiny Breaths is Kacey Cleary's story (but you knew this right because you know I love this book).

K A Tucker




I enjoyed both of these books let's just get that out there right now. This is by no means a bad review, however there is one that I like considerably more than the other, but that doesn't mean that the other isn't any good. So if you want to find out what the hell I'm harping on about or if you are considering reading these books and want to know a little more carry on reading!

Books I Did Not Finish! - 16/09/2013

Hi everybody, (As I typed that it sounded like Dr Nick from the Simpsons! You know what I mean? Anyway getting sidetracked there)

It's that time of the week again, Books I Did Not Finish!! I know you're all so very excited. Note sarcasm (especially in the specific case of this book, because the reason for not finishing the series is resoundingly pathetic go me!) If you've been paying attention (and by paying attention I mean you read my post on Friday) then you may have already had an inkling of which book/ series is being featured this week. Mainly because I actually told you. . . anyway slightly anti climatic but all the same this week I am looking at . . .

P C & Kristen Cast

Now I first read this book near enough straight after I read Twilight and fell in love. Needless to say the girl who reviewed this book way back in like 2008 probably wouldn't like it as much if she were to re-read it today. Why? Well because that was the girl who read Twilight 7 times and is now whole heartedly ashamed of that fact. 

Let's just get into it shall we?

Book Tag: Leave Me Alone I'm Reading!!

Hello Everybody!
I'm sorry for doing another Tag post, I'm just a little busy and up in the air at the moment but I still wanted to get a post up for you guys because I made a commitment god-damn it!

Any way this tag is obviously a book tag. It asks a bunch of questions about people you would kill off, couples/friendships you ship, which characters you would want to be for 24hrs. Well I have watched a few of these tag's on YouTube and they entertain me so I'm hoping they will entertain you to!

Ruin by Rachel Van Dyken: A Review!

Hello everyone,

If you are regular readers of my blog then you already know that I don't really write positive book reviews, hence why I decided to start doing a monthly book favourites, as my way of making up for that but also as a break from all the book bashing I seem to be so fond of doing.

However, every now and then you come across a book that you love so much that you just have to spread the word. So today I am doing a positive book review of . . . .

Books I Did Not Finish! - 09/09/2013

Hello Everyone, it is Monday and you know what that means!

It's time for another Book's I Did Not Finish. This week I am featuring a series, that I'm not sure really counts. Anyway. It's a series where as usual I freaking LOVED the first book, only to be somewhat let down by book 2. Yeah that's usually what happens. Only I know I downloaded the ebook of book 2, I remember starting it but I don't remember finishing it, and I also know I haven't read the last book, so it's getting featured, and with a little research, I'm going to try and decipher why I suddenly stopped reading book 2 and if I will continue on. So as you can tell today's instalment is slightly different form all my previous ones!

Today's book is . . . .

Tagline: Watched By Society. Trapped By Rules. Freed By Love?

Shall we get on in to this book then? (That made no sense but let's just pretend that it did. Will you do that for me? Please?)

Let's research and discover together, if I will ever finish this series!

Books I Did Not Finish - 02/09/2013

Hello everyone,

Happy September! It's not really that happy is it because we'll be heading back to school/ college/ university soon which isn't exactly fun. Unless you enjoy school which if you do all power to you I wish I did!

Anyway it's time for another Instalment of Books I Did Not Finish!. And honestly I don't really know why I never finished this book but let's just go with it okay?!

Northern Lights (The Golden Compass)
by
Phillip Pullman


Tagline: There are worlds beyond our own - the compass will show you the way . . .

This book is an international best seller, it's also a major motion picture, so it stands to reason that since I loved fantasy books I would pick this book up and give it a go. In hindsight I shouldn't have because up until that point my experience with this type of fantasy book hadn't been all that great. So it didn't surprise me really when I put it down and never picked it up again.
