Allegiant by Veronica Roth : A Review! **WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD**

This is the review I have been dreading writing. It's the book that I spent over a year longing and waiting for. It's also the book that once the ending was spoiled it took me a week after the release date to work up the courage to read it. Now having slept on it, I feel I'm in the right frame of mind to write an honest review.

Top 5 Books To Movies Tag!

Hello everyone,

I am forever banging on about my all time favourites books, and my all time least favourite books. But I've never talked about this topic. Which books do I want to see become a film. Honestly I don't know why I haven't done this tag before.


Maybe it's because sometimes I worry that doing Tag posts are a little unimaginative and a bit lazy, but we're here we're doing this, I mean why wouldn't you want to know which books I would love to see on the big screen! 

I can can guarantee you that not all of my top five favourite books will be on this list because some of them just wouldn't translate well on to the big screen or so I feel. 
Speaking of things translating well on to the big screen, can we just talk for a second about how insanely excited I am to hear that there is a film version of Wicked! in the works, now that is something I would definitely line up to see!!

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.

Book vs Film: Percy Jackson and The Sea of Monsters!

Hello everyone, today I will be doing a sort of review of the new Percy Jackson film, whilst simultaneously comparing it to the book.

And let me just tell you right now, you thought the first Percy Jackson film was different from the book? Trust me, somehow Sea of Monsters manages to change even more.

Let's watch the trailer:


Quite honestly the first time I saw the trailer I was just excited because I had no idea they were making another one. But then I re-read the book, and the issue I had before going to see this film was that the trailer alone was enough to tell me how different from the book this adaption was going to be, and that's not something that happens very often. 

Now then let's take a closer look at exactly what is different and whether or not I liked the film.
