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

Pride & Prejudice!

Hey Bloggers! I'm all about Classical novels this week!

 

 

This has got to be the ultimate classical female fiction right?! I love it! I adore the film also, I watch it every Christmas! :) Anyways, I'm writing a piece of coursework on Pride&Prejudice and although normally if I watch the film of a novel I'm totally unable to read the book afterwards it just ruins it! vise versa too! I cant read the novel then watch the film it just irritates me if they miss a specific part of the novel out then I've wasted my money because I didn't like it! But with Pride&Prejudice I'm completely loving it i think it's Jane Austen's style of writing i adore i may have to read a few others of hers!

What's even better is that I bought the study addition so it has extra margin room to write notes and has pointers all the way through which I loved as it really helped me understand certain aspects of the novel. I was so excited when it came through the post which was literally like 2 days after ordering it (that's amazon for ya!) as I was entirely expecting it to be so big and useful. The initial storyline of Pride & Prejudice is genius it's the typical love hate relationship between "Darcy" and "Lizzy" but also the fact that Jane Austen uses dialogue as a way of describing and characterising her characters is a huge love from me because personally many authors in our present time spend too much time describing and describing and describing their characters and it really bores me!

This was just a little post as i was really excited and happy with myself for reading a classic novel and loving it as there aren't many I like!
Thanks for reading!
Love y'all

The Dark Garden by Eden bradley

Hey bloggers!

I've recently bought a few bargain's from Asda! :) they do a 2 for 7 pound deal which is always good when the books usual price is 7.99! I'm always up for a bargain! Especially when it comes to books!

In my bargain buy I bought "The Dark Garden" by Eden Bradley, excuse the very poor quality of my photo!

You see I'm a bit of an impulse buyer if i like the sound of the first line or the look of the cover I buy! not even kidding i am ridiculous when it comes to something I love! This book seem to be quite humorous, mysterious yet maybe a tad erotic according to the blerb! I've read 50 shades and enjoyed them but didn't see why everyone was so excited/amazed at and frankly the last book was rushed if you ask me! But we aren't on about 50 shades we're on about 'The Dark Garden' which is a very raunchy, erotic book which I really did not expect! Don't get me wrong I haven't finished reading it yet but I got it yesterday and only have a few chapters left it's very likable and intriguing because it has a cute story, an erotic story and a dark story all wrapped into one.

If you liked 50 shades maybe you should read this it's not a copycat like most of the other stories out lately! But it does have elements of BDSM!
Oh! and I saw Jackie Collins new novel "The Powertrip" in ASDA and I'll still refuse to pay 10 pound, I know I'm going to read it in less than a day or two and I'm very unsure on whether I'll like it so whats the point!

So, I've finished it and it's a really good story line but I'm unsure on how there's going to be a second one unless it's about other characters but based on BDSM I'm not too sure! I liked the fact there were two different types of a love story and the growth of the characters it was an enjoyable read that I would really recommend! It's not just hardcore sex and it doesn't have cringey words that some poor books have it wad appropriate and I appriciated that because the one thing I detest in some books is if they use crude common words, we all know what I'm on about; I just personally think it ruins a book. On more than one occasion I've stopped reading a book due to this gross problem!

Sorry it's a short 'un! thought I'd tell you what I'm reading and see what you all think! :)
Thanks for reading guys!

Yes Jackie No Jackie?

So I'm wondering whether to read Jackie Collins new book "The Power Trip" I've read quite a few if not all of her books but I'm not sure how far this one can go? And personally I don't wanna pay £16.99 for a book! I'm used to cheap books i enjoy not a book i might not enjoy for a lot of money! Don't get me wrong if I really wanted to read it I would buy it but at that price it's a little much is it not? maybe I should just wait until it goes down in price! what can i say I'm a student I'm constantly on a budget!

But then i also keep thinking all her other books have been amazing so maybe I'm over reacting about the money situation and maybe I should just save up and see what all the fuss is about! Because you see if read 50 shades when it wasn't popular and was pretty cheap on my kindle so it never cost me a lot! I think it was about £8 for all three which i read in three days which is ridiculous i know!

I'm one of them readers that will read anything as long as I really into it :) so i guess i should give it a chance eh? money or no money! I'll post if I have read it or if iIhaven't! but gimme some ideas should I read it or shouldn't I? Does it deserve to go on my bookshelf?

sorry it was short!
love y'all

Wattpad "The best place to discover and share stories"

So, I have recently joined Wattpad.com and I was excited to say the least because I'm a huge fan of young people's work. I know I'm only 18 myself but to see a person of my age or younger writing books or viewing my work kind of makes me giddy. Don't get me wrong I appreciated anybodies view be it critical or praise, all views are constructive right? Wrong! So many people on Wattpad are overly critical of other peoples work, it's like they get a kick out of being harsh to others because their work isn't up to scratch whats that all about?! Confuses me! But I suppose you have to have a bad side to every good!

Many authors have been published and are actually earning a living because of Wattpad.com for instance Brittany Geragotelis who wrote and published her own book "Life's a witch" because of Wattpad.com and the huge 13 million fan base she got, writers like Geragotelis show that not only can writing on line be refreshing and relieving for others to see but also extremely successful and rewarding may it be the little comments you get on Wattpad.com or the many votes you receive, it could always lead to better things as Brittany Geragotelis has proved by her many popular novels.

So i highly recommend Wattpad.com if your aspiring to become a writer or even an editor because people on Wattpad.com hire others on Wattpad.com to edit their work it's crazy, almost like a publishing house and a book store all wrapped into one adaptable website! I say adaptable because you can get Watpad.com on your iphone, blackberry, ipad, laptop anything with Internet and I'm pretty sure you can get it!

I have started to write a teen fiction story you can all check it out if you want and tell me what you think, plus this might help you have an idea about Wattpad.com and how it runs. It is incredibly easy to figure out, and the best thing is that it's almost like a community if you get fans or maybe even friends they will make you book covers and give you enjoyable reviews about your work and your work gets spread around so easily. Although I do recommend writing your work whether it's poetry, plays or novels on word as it is far easier and you can just copy and paste! And on top of all this Wattpad.com is entirely free!

I have put the hyperlink at the bottom of the page and also my story so i hope you enjoy it there are so many different types of books you can read, comment or even write about yourself and i hope this was useful or encouraged you to publicly show your own work!
