Blogging Milestones!

-

Hey Guys x

I have hit a few blogging milestones in the past months.

First of all, I hit 200 blog posts. I did a post on this here and how much this meant to me personally, as someone who never normally sticks with one specific hobby.

Then, my views kept getting higher and higher. Currently, I have over 14,000 views, which is slightly overwhelming to fathom.

My blog link has been clicked on and viewed over 14,000 times! Even seeing how many views my posts get after being uploaded for 24 hours is completely amazing and really makes me happy. Not only the fact that I have written about something that I am passionate about, but the fact that you guys seem to get passionate about the things that I am passionate about is amazing!

And I love the fact that you enjoy reading my rambles and just spilling out whatever is in my head at whatever moments! So many of you guys have said that these are the posts of mine that you enjoy the most, so I will continue to ramble for a long time!

Next, I realised that I hit 600 comments. You can't see this because it's private for me to see, but obviously if you blog on blogger, you know that you can look at your 'overview' and see different things about your blog.

I logged on the other day to see that I had hit 600 comments. It is just amazing that so many people have taken to not only reading my posts, but to actually being bothered to comment their thoughts and opinions on it. That means a lot to me and I always encourage comments because to me, they are the only way to truly know that people like that you're doing.

Then comes the newest thing.

I am currently writing this on Sunday, although you're reading it on Monday because I'm uploading it tomorrow.

As of today, I hit 50 followers on Bloglovin' and 11 followers on google, bringing my blog to a total of 62 followers (although I think Bloglovin' is the best way to count followers).

With my blog, getting followers has never been the highest priority - views and comments are more important in terms of feedback.

But 50 freaking followers is amazing!!!

50 people deciding that they want to receive updates whenever I upload is just amazing to me and I actually kind of can't believe it!

I know that this may seem like nothing to you, but another thing about my blog is that gaining followers has been really slow. I have been waiting for so long to have a substantial amount of followers and have been trying not to compare myself to other people.

But hitting the milestone of 50 followers means more than the world to me.

I know that by the time you're reading this, I have probably lost followers and am on like 46 or something, but just hitting it in the first place makes me feel really happy about my blog, whether I keep that 50 or not.

So I just want to thank you for following, reading, commenting and sharing, if you've done any of those things.
I appreciate it more than you'll ever know and each of you mean the world to my, so thanks so much!

Thank you for reading!

Comment below a milestone that you hit, blogging or otherwise!

Keep Smiling - Lou xx

Venom: The Last Dance | Film Review

While on the run, Eddie Brock and Venom (Tom Hardy) are pursued by a dangerous military organisation. But when aliens from Venom's home world come to Earth, the pair have to make a devastating decision that will change their lives forever. I watched the first Venom movie when it came out years ago, didn't really like it that much, and subsequently didn't watch the second. But totally randomly last week I decided to re-watch the first movie, and ended up liking it enough to also watch the second. And as soon as I finished that, I went to the cinema to see this new one. I really liked this film - it was so much better than I thought it was going to be! My favourite thing about this franchise is the relationship between Eddie and Venom, and for me this film was the best version of the characters together. Because, while the comedic moments between the pair are still there, there's a lot more heart in this story than there has been previously, and this is especially evident

Smile 2 | Film Review

After a harrowing accident, popstar Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) is putting her life back together and embarking on a world tour. But after witnessing a suicide, she begins to experience strange occurrences - the strangest of which is a smile that seems to follow her wherever she goes...  Having absolutely loved the first film, I was so excited to see where this next one would take the storyline, and it seemed really promising! But my high expectations were probably why I ended up being so disappointed with the final result. I know that this is definitely an unpopular opinion, but I didn't really like this sequel. However, I did like how it began. It directly connects itself to the first film in a really interesting way, and that was fun to watch. Then it kind of went downhill. For me personally, I didn't love the character of Skye Riley. I didn't really feel connected to her, and it never felt like the film allowed me to get to know her that well. So as much as the events are

Book Review #138: Kill For Me, Kill For You by Steve Cavanagh

  After meeting by chance one evening, Amanda and Wendy realise they have something in common - they are both experiencing grief and want to make the men who destroyed their families pay. Knowing they can never exact the revenge they crave, they come up with an idea: if you kill for me, I'll kill for you... The premise of the book is deliberately vague, but I think the main idea of it is enough to give you a flavour of what the story is about. I have mixed feelings about this book. There's so many things about it that I really loved, but there are also a few things that I could have done without. To start off, the first two chapters are absolutely riveting. I feel like it took no time at all to bond and connect with the characters. Not only are the chapters exciting, but they're also really visceral. You feel like you're living in the scenes with the characters. It would have been amazing if the whole book had stayed like this. The story is told from two points of view,

Lagaan | 100 Movies Bucket List

Of all the movies I watched for the bucket list, this one was without a doubt the hardest to track down. Thankfully I managed to find it but it was looking impossible for a while! I ended up watching a version that didn't include the musical numbers, so I had to listen to the soundtrack separately, which felt really weird. But at the same time, I don't feel like anything was missing from the story by not having the songs in it. I'd never heard of the film before, but an almost 4-hour long movie about cricket wasn't exactly enticing. Thankfully the film is a lot more interesting than it sounds! There's a lot of underlying themes, and even when the scenes are about cricket, the game isn't really the most important thing. It was really fun spending time with these characters and seeing them interact. The one thing I didn't expect from this film was for it to be so uplifting. Even though it's not entirely sunshine and rainbows, you fall into step with this g

City of God | 100 Movies Bucket List

At this point in the bucket list we start getting to the films that are a bit harder to find. I had never heard of this film before seeing it on the list, and I didn't look it up before watching it (beyond searching for a platform to watch it on), so I had no idea what it was about. Sometimes when I'm watching the bucket list movies I write a couple of little notes to remind myself how I felt about it, as I don't give them full reviews. For this one, the only thing I wrote was 'harrowing' and I think that describes it well. The film doesn't shy away from anything troubling or uncomfortable, and it doesn't try to sugar-coat what the characters are going through, or what their lives were like. Apparently it's loosely based on true events and that feels really evident. Because of that, these characters feel extremely authentic. Whether you're familiar with their lives or not, you empathise and sympathise with them because it feels like you're watchi
