I was expecting big things from this book after I'd seen so many people reading it. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed. I started reading the book a few months ago, and I couldn't get into it at all, but after hearing such good things I decided to push on in the hope that it might get better. The story revolves around a fifteen year old boy called Charlie, who feels as though he never really fits in and is quite socially awkward. After making a somewhat strange group of friends, Charlie finds himself still feeling as though he is on the outside of the group and still over analyses ... Read the Post...
University #1: Student Finance
Before I started this blog, I had created another aptly named The Journey To University, it's pretty probable that you've already worked out the topic. If you want to have a look at that, click the link. I don't post on that blog anymore as it was all part of a project for college, but it includes some pretty useful information and tips on topics from moving away to university, to help with accepting or declining your offers. After me wanting to start a series like this for a while and a great response on Twitter when I asked if people would like me to start a university series too, here ... Read the Post...
The Book Review #5 – I Heart Hollywood
I'm currently working my way through the "I Heart" series, and have already posted a review about the first book I Heart New York here. So, the second book brought out the same emotions as the first; it made me jealous, it made me cringe (for the main character Angela, nothing to do with the actual book!), it made me smile and even nervous for Angela at some points! For some reason it took me a while to get into the book. This might be because I've been quite busy recently with work, college and just life in general whereas when I bought the first book I had a few ... Read the Post...
The Book Review #4 – My Mad Fat Diary
Another Sunday, another book review! This time I'm talking about My Mad Fat Diary, the real life diary written by Rae Earl. The book was recently made into a series on E4, and I loved it. I have to be honest, the acting wasn't always the best, and the story line was a bit predictable but nonetheless I really enjoyed watching it, so when I saw the book I had to buy it! When my camera stops playing up, I'll upload an actual picture.I promise! I wasn't immediately sucked in to the book like I have been with others, but some of the best books start off slowly so I gave it a chance. ... Read the Post...
Pepper’s Story!
On the 9th April a small black cat followed my sister home from the bus stop, and decided to camp outside our house for the following few days. Eventually, this little stray cat became my little Pepper and I thought it'd be nice to write a post about how he came to be my cat! (This post might be a bit long....sorry!) After realising the cat had been sleeping in our garden and not actually going to a home, I messaged the local cat and dog shelter asking for advice. (If you're looking at adopting a cat or dog, or just want to help this great cause you can check out Millstream Animal Centre ... Read the Post...
