Prozac nation..

Hey guys, 

I recently watched the film 'Prozac nation' on the amazing Netflix, I decided to try and find a copy of the book because the film was so interesting. Luckily I found this book for such a cheap price, it's a little bit beat up but I like a messy book, shows how much it's been loved right? 

Elizabeth Wurtzel is such an amazing writer, I haven't gotten to the end of this book yet as I've been extremely busy with university but reading a page or ten on the way to university or in my spare time has been so interesting. I also love that the book is different to the film , I always get extremely mad when I watch a film and wish I had read the book first and then when I do read the book it's exactly the same. I prefer a film to be a directors interpretation of the book which I guess most films just have common interpretations! 

I'm going to carry on reading this on the train, in the bath, when I'm babysitting and generally whenever I get a spare moment away from assignments! But I highly recommend both book and film as they seem to be fantastic insights into a world that isn't explored very more of to this personal detail in society.

Thanks for ready,

Signing off,

Watt to read..

I can't seem to find anything I want to read, it's like I'm having a reading block! So it seems I've resorted back to Wattpad, never heard of it? It's a place were up and coming writers or people that just enjoy to write can share their work and trust me someone if it is amazing and some of it isn't the best! But i enjoy reading other peoples work and reading the bizarre and wonderful ideas of today's youth and of course the more maturer residence of Wattpad.
Wattpad encourages the freedom to share anything from poems to screenplays, novels to diaries it really is a great insight into what's current with teens and the general public. Which can also be really useful for those of you who are writing a novel and are wondering if it is right for the current market, due to the 'most popular' section onWattpad you can learn what everyone is reading and whether that applies to yourself.
So, using Wattpad when I don't have other books to read is so convenient because there's a range of genre's to choose from and most writers don't mind the criticism as long as it's constructed obviously!

So go on give it a go! :)
Thanks for reading!

Bridget Jones Mad about the Boy

It was a thoroughly enjoyable read!

Anyone can instantly connect with Bridget in this book, I've never read the first book 'Bridget Jones' Diary' by Helen Fielding. Although I have seen the films, Bridget Jones' Diary and The Edge of Reason I know it's not the same but they're brilliant films! I do wish I had and I may even go back and read it. Bridget's voice comes through in a comically and melancholy way through the use of diary entries and flashbacks. It's particularly authentic that the diary entries use contractions, taboos and abbreviations and the lack of perfect grammar gives the book an amazing edge. It almost feels like you know Bridget, you instantly spark a connection and relate to so many things she describes even if she is over 50 in this novel. She struggles with love, loss and single parenting disasters! I myself am a single non parent of 20 years of age so relating to a 50+ woman with 2 small children and with troubles of loss and heart ache was a real surprise to me for me to be agreeing and completely understanding some of the emotions and conundrums she encounters!
  It well and truly is the perfect summer read for those of you that will be jetting away to beautiful sandy beaches! As well as those of you who will (hopefully) enjoy the English weather! OR in all fairness where ever you are, it was a really good read and because it was so modern and related to events of the time that I knew about which was really refreshing.
  Now I just need something else to get my teeth or should i say eyes into! Any recommendations gals and guys would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for reading,
Megan :) x

Bridget is back..

Recently started reading the new Bridget Jones about a boy, and it's hilariously heartwarming, typical Bridgetisms. I really love the style of this book, it's short hand, almost notes sometimes, but you completely understand what is being said. I really cannot wait to get to the end of this book! But then I'm going to be a little bit sad when it's over! Even though she's a little older in this book I feel like i can relate to her melt downs it's so bizarre considering I'm a single 20 year old at university, but it really opened my mind to the what if's of life. I LOVE IT.


I also absolutely loved this quote on the back! I haven't gotten to her drunken texting antics yet but I cannot wait! it's honestly a good read so far and a little bit of a tear jerker and I haven't even read it all yet! 

An absolute must read this summer from my point of view!

University..

Seems to have taken over my life!

I can't actually remember the last book I fully read, the disappointing thing is I got a whole heap for Christmas (even though that was like 5 months ago) so it isn't like I haven't had the material or the time sometimes as well, considering I can hardly ever sleep! So I am going to read! I break off uni and finish exams in 2 weeks and I'll have the full summer to read! Slightly sad of me! But his summer isn't exactly the most eventful! So why not read a load of exciting books eh!
I guess watch this space! :)

Reflected in you- Sylvia Day

Hey bloggers!

This is the follow up to 'Bared to you' and whilst id been browsing on Amazon for my mum's Christmas present I came across the second book and frankly I impulse bought! I am shamefully a huge impulse buyer! It was only £3.84 which is a lot cheaper than the RRP price of £7.99! And surprisingly it's a better read than the first, it's more in-depth and interesting compared to the first there are a lot more twists and troubles for the character Eva, who is a stronger character in this than the first, she's a really likable character and Gideon is your perfect hard faced hunk! Although because of the series of events that take place in this book you begin you dislike his character and me personally I hope they'd break up all together just to see what would happen! Maybe I'm a bit too morbid eh!

They really grow as a couple and the book has hints of a thriller almost in it, because of Eva and Gideon's past. I read this book in a day and not because it was short, because it was addictive! i wanted to know why he was acting uncharacteristic and more about the other characters which this book does it adds more to the previous book and I loved it! I will definitely be buying the 3rd book which comes out later this month. But i advise you read 'Bared to you' before 'Reflected in you' otherwise you may be a tad lost!
Thanks for reading,
Love y'all

The return of the Kindle!

Hey Bloggers,

So, because I've been learning to drive and kept putting off doing my driving theory my mother took my kindle off of me! Horrible or what! But i can gladly say it's now back in my hands safe and sound!

You see I love a good paper/hardback as the next book worm but when you can't also get to charity shops for bargin books, and spending 5 pounds nearly every few days was crippling my bank due to my lack of a job and being a full time college student! The Kindle saved me so much money! it's cheaper and frankly there are so many more books I've found through it! Although it is my 3rd kindle! You see I'm incredibley clumsy and after a holiday in cuba about 3 years ago my first original kindle died, my favourite kindle at that! I had got sand in it and it just gave up! so luckily I had a guarantee on my beautiful baby and got it changed but that one soon went to the land of poorly electronics too. So now I have the Kindle touch and an extended guarantee of 3 years so when my mother took it off of me for about 3/4months you can understand why I was disheartened!

But once i'd charged it for a full 12 hours last night i turned it on to discover i have 198 books in my library! i was pretty happy to say the least, but once again with my doppiness then realised i'd read all of them, so now i'm going to go on the hunt for some bargin books on amazon! I recommend a kindle so much they're easy to use, cheap and easy to carry around!

love y'all
Meg
