Book Haul | 3

Hey Guys x

Recently, I've been loving amazon for books. They always deliver conveniently so I can always arrange to be in when they come.

So in the last few weeks, I've been buying a few books, so I thought that I'd show you the books that I've bought!

If you've read any of them, let me know what you thought in the comments!

Sprinkle Of Glitter 2016 Diary




 


 
I am a huge fan of Louise, aka Sprinkle Of Glitter, so I was always going to buy her diary. What I love about it, however, is that it isn't just a normal diary. It's packed with pictures and inspirational quotes and advice and I just really love it. I can't wait to start using it next year!
 
One Hundred Names







I'm also a huge fan of Cecilia Ahern, so when I read the plot of this book, I bought it straight away! It's about a girl who makes a mistake at work that affects her personal life. She then finds a list if 100 names and has to discover the stories of the hundred people. This seems like it'll be a really nice read and I can't wait to start it!

Eleanor & Park



This book has such good reviews, I immediately knew as soon as I saw it that I'd have to buy it. I've read 'Fangirl' by the same author and loved it, so I know that I like her writing style. From what I can tell, it's an amazing love story and I can't wait to read it!

Shopaholic To The Rescue






Becky Brandon is back! Sophie Kinsella is, without a doubt, my favourite/ second favourite (after Giovanna Fletcher) author, so I was really excited when I heard that she was releasing another 'Shopaholic' novel, as this is my favourite book series ever! This time, it's Becky's turn to be the hero. This looks so funny, I hope it'll be a great addition to the series!

The Girl On The Train






This is a book that I have heard such good things about, I can't believe I haven't already read this! If you haven't heard about this, where have you been? Because it's been everywhere! It's about a woman who watches a couple on a train, but something happens that means that she's now involved in their lives! It's a thriller and it looks so good!

After You






And, last but not least, the one that I am most excited about! After You is the sequel to 'Me Before You' by Jojo Moyes, and that book was completely incredible! I've probably talked about it countless times! Anyway, this is the story of what happens after the events in the first book. I don't really know much about the plot, but I know that it's going to be amazing!

Thank you for reading

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

-

  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Holiday for Hire | Blogmas Day 20

  It's Blogmas day 20! After getting dumped right before going home for the holidays, Katie (Christie Leverette) hires a man to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her family. Finally a fake dating trope! A couple of the films this year have played with the theme, but this one really goes for it and I love that! But as much as I loved the premise, the film didn't really live up to it. However, one thing I loved as much as I loved the premise was Katie. Right from the beginning she was a character I could get behind and really root for. I also really loved Katie's roommate Sarah (Jeanne Lau) and I wish she had been given more to do, and more of a story. Why is she spending Christmas alone?? I tried not to look at the film from a point of realism, as this is a Christmas movie after all, but where was the sense of safety? The main couple are complete strangers at the start and it felt weird to see how quickly they trusted each other. And while I liked the characters intera...

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

-

  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...

Christmas on Ice | Blogmas Day 21

  It's Blogmas day 21! Former figure skater Courtney (Abigail Klein) teams up with former hockey player Noah (Ryan Cooper) to save the local ice skating rink from closing. I picked this one because it just seemed so quintessentially rom-com-y that I had no choice! And it also seemed like it would be really Christmassy, which is always important for a Christmas film. Unfortunately this one wasn't as romantic as it could have been. But I will say the Christmas part holds up - is there anything more Christmassy than ice skating?? My main gripe with the film is that I completely fell in love with a couple and was willing to spent all my time and energy on them. The only problem was, it wasn't the main couple! It was the side couple who were given no time! If the main couple of this film had been Beth (Caroline Portu) and Trevor (Matthew Grimaldi) this could have been a great Christmas movie. I really liked what little I saw of them and wanted so much more than the film gave us....
