My Summer Reading List!

-

Hey Guys x

I have not had the chance to read for ages as I've been doing exams, so I was really excited to pick my summer reading books!

I said in a post last week that I had chosen the 11 books that I would be reading this summer, and put them in order.

I then went shopping on Friday, and couldn't resist buying two more (I actually bought 4 but 2 of them aren't in my 'Summer Reading' category)

So I thought that I'd show you the books that I'm going to be reading!

And hopefully, some of these books can make their way onto some of your summer reading lists too!

1. Nobody's Girl

 
This is the first book that I'm going to read. I always start my summer holidays by reading this book because I really love it and I always have to read it. I've spoken about it before so I won't go on about it again, but it really is an amazing book!
 
2. Ten Things We Shouldn't Have Done
 
 
Like 'Nobody's girl', this is always the second book that I read in my summer holidays. I always read the two of them together, just because I think that they go well together they're very light-hearted books. perfect for either staying at home or a nice beach holiday!
 
3. Dream A Little Dream
 




This is Giovanna's latest novel, it came out on Thursday and I immediately bought it on Friday because I was so excited to read it! I also bought it at Waterstones which means that I also get the exclusive short story within it, which I am also so excited to read!

4. His Other Life



This is one that I get more excited about every time I read the synopsis and I can't wait to review it! I did a book haul where I gave a brief synopsis of a lot of the books in this list, so read that if you want to see what it's about!

5. Saving Grace


This book is very similar to the last one in the fact that both women feel as if their husbands are keeping secrets from them. But as well as that, they're both called 'Grace'. How weird is that? I really can't wait to read this!

6. My True Love Gave To Me



I am so excited to read this book! It's a collection of love stories, which I immediately love! What I love most is that on the back cover, it says: "Long, cold nights are for falling in love" which makes me so happy!

7. P.S I Love You


I've read this before and I loved it so much that I had to get is again! This cover is beautiful and the story itself is really beautiful. It made me fall in love with Cecilia Ahern!

8. The Year I Met You


I bought this when I bought Giovanna's book on Friday as I had heard such great things about it! And I really do love Cecilia Ahern, so of course I was going to buy this! It seems like the classic love story that I always get obsessed with!

9. How To Fall In Love


From the title, you can probably tell why I bought this book! It's another Cecilia Ahern and I am so excited. It's about a woman who talks someone out of committing suicide, and I can only assume that they later fall in love, but don't quote me on that because I haven't read it yet!

10. The DUFF


I've seen this movie and I really enjoyed it. I bought the book before I saw the movie and always put off reading it. But after seeing how great the film was, I really can't wait to read this book! And then watching the movie again!

11. One Day
 
So many people have told me to read this! I've never seen the film but I've heard that the book is amazing, so of course I put it in this list. It looks really interesting and I like the fact that I can't really guess what it's going to be about - because the blurb is quite ambiguous!
 
12. The Rosie Effect
 
I am so annoyed with myself! Upon buying this book, I didn't realise that I was actually buying the sequel! So I haven't got the first book, and I don't know if I can read the second one without reading the first - but I'm going to try because this book looks great!
 
13. Shopaholic To The Stars
 
 
As a huge fan of Sophie Kinsella and the 'Shopaholic' series, I bought the newest Shopaholic book immediately because I am so excited to read it! Sophie Kinsella is one of my favourite, if not my absolute favourite authors and I am so excited to see what's going on next with Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) and her family!
 
14. Finding Audrey
 
And last but not least, the latest Sophie Kinsella book! I don't even really know what this is about to be honest, but it's by Sophie Kinsella, so I know that it will be completely epic!
 
All of these books (Bar the first two and 'P.S. I love You') will be reviewed when I finish read them!
 
Thank you for reading!

    So many great books to add to my "to read" list, thank you!! I've read The Rosie Project, which is the book before The Rosie Effect and it's really good although definitely an 'adult' book.
    I love Giovanna's books, I can't wait to read Dream A Little Dream :)

Wonka | Film Review

Young Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet) tries to follow his dreams to become a respected chocolatier, despite opposition at every turn . This film was never particularly high on my 'to-watch' list, but it was always on my radar, so I'm glad I've finally seen it. I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would, but I still definitely had problems with it! For a start, while I love the fact that it was a musical, I didn't actually like any of the actual songs. None of them really stood out (except the one that's already known) and having only seen the film yesterday, I can't remember any of them. In fact, while the songs didn't hurt the film, I also don't feel like they were completely necessary. I would have liked the film the same amount if it hadn't been a musical. Wonka is a really charming character, and Chalamet plays him really well. In fact, the entire cast is great - definitely the best thing about the film by a mile. The relationship b

Miller's Girl | Film Review

A creative writing assignment complicates the relationship between a teacher (Martin Freeman) and his student (Jenna Ortega). I heard about this film maybe once and remember being interested in it, but then I never heard anything about it again. So when I saw it was available to rent/buy on Prime Video, I decided to give it a shot.  I don't know what to make of this one. I didn't hate it, but there wasn't a lot to like. The only thing I did like was that Martin Freeman and Jenna Ortega worked really well together and had good chemistry. I'd love to see them work together again, in a film with a better plot and a less weird (platonic) relationship. The characters are written really weirdly. There were many moments when they said things that were just so unbelievable, especially Jenna Ortega's character, Cairo. Another odd aspect of the film was the tone - I could never tell if things were supposed to feel sinister or not because the film couldn't decide how it wa

American Psycho | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch. I'd seen this film once before watching it for the Bucket List. My memories of it weren't wholly positive - I didn't love the first watch, and while I didn't hate it, it wasn't a film that I was itching to watch again. Though saying that, I knew that I probably would watch it again eventually, because I knew how much of a classic it was. Like a lot of films I've watched for the Bucket List, I liked it more this time around than I did the first time, though I still didn't love it as much as I wanted to. But that being said, I did really enjoy it. The writing was great and Christian Bale was amazing in the role, as were the supporting actors. For me, though, the most iconic thing about this movie is its soundtrack. The songs used are amazing and fit the movie so well. They're used in such a unique, original way, that it feels like this alone makes the movie a classic. The film is really well made, and even though I don't love i

Snatch | 100 Movies Bucket List

I'd never heard of this film before last year, when I watched it for the first time, so this time around was my second watch. Guy Richie's movies tend to be a bit hit-or-miss for me. This is one of the only ones where I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other. I didn't love the story, it didn't hold my interest the whole way through. But one thing that I absolutely loved was the dialogue. It was smart, quippy and made the film a much more fun watch than the plot itself would suggest. Another thing I absolutely loved was Brad Pitt's performance. This was probably one of my favourite roles of his. He did a great job with the character, and it was really different to everything else I've seen him in. But that being said, all of the performances were great. For me, if I had to guess why this film is considered a classic, it would 100% be because of the script and performances, rather than the film as a whole. It was the script that kept me locked in and

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

-
Image
Hey Guys x Today's post might come out as more of a rant, which I'm OK with because I haven't ranted about something in a while! Last year, I started watching the show '8 Simple Rules' when it started playing on Comedy Central. It originally came on between 2002 and 2005 but I didn't watch it when it was first on. Anyway, I really got into it. There were only three seasons, so it was over before I wanted it to be. And I loved this show, and I still love it. Comedy Central doesn't play it anymore but if it did I would dive right back into it because I love a good sitcom. However, I have a major gripe with a plotline of the show, that got more prominent in season 2/3. Let me just explain the characters a bit, so you know who I'm taking about in case you never watched it. The show revolves around a family, Paul and Cate Hennessy, and their children Bridget, Kerry and Rory. In the second season, the father in the show died (due
