Hello you lovely lot!

So, if you read my 'Holiday Books' post then you will know that I set myself the challenge of reading five books in to weeks. Update on that, I read one a bit...fail. However, as promised, I'm going to do reviews on them! I know I love reading reviews on books because it gives me an idea of whether it's something I should spend my hard earned money on! I will eventually get round to reading the books, even if I have to take them to Uni with me!

So, without further ado, I present to you..

Girl Online - Zoella/Zoe Sugg



Now, I won't lie, I only bought this because I love Zoe. However, now I'm so glad I did (even if I have only just read it, soz Zo).

I also have to admit that when I first started reading it a long long time ago (ok not that long but like a few months is a lot to an 18 year old...) I wasn't the biggest fan. Being 18, I'm not the ideal demographic, let's be honest, and that was kind of obvious.

Maybe it was the way it was written? I don't really know how to explain it! If I was thirteen I think it would have been more accessible to me maybe? It took me quite a while to get in to because it wasn't really written like the kind of books I read now.

However, once I DID get in to it, I was so invested in the story and in the characters and even though I knew what was going to happen at the end (ruined it for myself, well done Becky) I still loved going through all the twists and turns that lead to that ending!

This was most definitely a good choice for a holiday book I think! It was easy to read, had bits of comedy in it, places i recognised the names of and was just lovely! It also made me want to write so many blog posts since Penny is a blogger herself!

So, overall, I would recommend this book! If you have it and have tried to read it but haven't got thee, keep going! Once Penny meets Noah you get so gripped and it's so worth it! Looking back I think I should have waited for the paperback to come out as it would be a lot lighter but it did make some pretty instagrams when I first got it!

I'm still reading Eleanor and Park and with packing for Uni it's getting hard to find time but I will get there! If I haven't finished it by the time I move it is so coming with me (along with a few other books which I haven't decided on yet but I'm going to write a 'What I'm Taking To Uni' post soon so you'll see then!)

P.S. - This is my 50th blog post! It's crazy! I remember starting this in January thinking I would get so bored of it and I would give up but blogging is my favourite thing to do. I love just sitting down and writing about stuff! My blog blew up when Sprinkle of Glitter tweeted about it and I was so shocked! I like to think I write alright posts? Even if nobody's reading they're still enjoyable to write!

Thanks For Reading!!

Hello you lovely lot!

So, as you may, or may not know, I am on holiday at the moment!

I am in a lovely little village in Wales called Llangranog! This holiday is a bit bittersweet for me because it could be my last holiday with my Mum, Dad and Brother depending on how University goes. However, it is still one of my favourite places to go ever and as excited as I am about Uni, I'm enjoying my time here.

As an English Literature student I think it's a given that I like books. I haven't really had a chance to sit down with a good book and just read until a few weeks ago (and even when I did have the chance, I didn't take it, I sat in bed playing Sims..). So, I'm taking the chance, whilst I'm on holiday to get through as many of my books as I can so that I have less to take to University with me!

I bought 5 all together which may be a bit of a stretch as I'm only here for two weeks but I am already nearly on number 2 and I've been here 4 days so...go me. I thought I would just tell you all about the books I'be brought! I think they're great holiday books and hopefully good books in general!


1. Girl Online - Zoe Sugg

If you've read my blog posts before then it probably doesn't surprise you that I own this! I've had it since it came out and I did start reading it but then my exams took over and I forget all about it so I started it again the other day. I'm really enjoying it so far even though i spoiled it for myself by watching Zoe's vlog where she read the start of the second one! It's just a feel-good book I think. Being 18 I'm clearly not the ideal demographic but I'm still enjoying it, it's easy to read and just lovely really!


2. Eleanor & Park - Rainbow Rowell





I've heard so many good reviews about this! My best friend Natalie was the one who really made me want to read it because it appears we have the same taste in books and she loved it! So i bought it quite a while ago and it, once again, got pushed to the side thanks to exams! So I'm determined to give it a read!
