Bria Lou Reviews

Hey Guys x I am such a huge fan of Hazel Hayes - she inspires the woman in me, the writer in me and the film fanatic (and potential filmmaker) in me, and I was so excited to get her book. I was counting down the days until it arrived! This love story in reverse pulls us into the world of our protagonist, who begins the book by watching her boyfriend pack and move out of the home they once happily shared together. As we read, we delve further and further into this couple's past, not only seeing what made them break up, but also seeing what made them fall in love. Okay, so I have complex feelings about this book. I love the concept, and so many other things that I'll explore in more detail, but because of the way it was written (and a few other issues), I can't say that I loved it. I definitely liked it, though. I'll start with the things that I liked about the book. Hayes is a writer. This may be her debut novel, but this is not her first story, and that is so clear in t...

Hey Guys x I've done this post three times before, the last was in April last year so it's been a while! I love doing this because it allows you guys (and me) to see how my taste in YouTubers changes from year to year, and this one is particularly different because I've kind of been going off 'mainstream' YouTubers so to speak. And by 'Mainstream' I mean really popular ones with over a million subscribers. There are still some in here, but I'm also hoping to introduce you to some others that you've probably heard of but haven't given a chance! Anyway, without further ado, here are my current top 10 YouTubers! 10: Marcus Butler Subscribers: 4,176,928 Right now, I'm really liking Marcus' second channel, MoreMarcus, where he has been posting different videos every single day. I don't love every video that he does, but there are a few that I really do love, particularly when he reads fanfiction (which, as a fanfic writer myse...

Hey Guys x I have done this post twice already. But I realised that I haven't done one this year yet. And as my taste for YouTubers have changed so much within the last year, I thought that I would show you who I'm loving on the YouTube scene right now! It was so hard to decrease this list to just 10, and putting people in a rank order was really hard so don't read into it too much, because I had to leave a lot of my favourite YouTubers off the list! Also, please comment and let me know who you're loving! 10. Jim Chapman   Subscribers: 2,096,168   I am loving Jim at the moment, particularly his daily vlogs. I've said this before, but I just find having a peek at his life really interesting and I love the fact that he shares so much with his viewers! If you don't watch his daily vlogs, you really should!   Favourite Video: Don't Say It (With Tanya Burr)   9. Tanya Burr   Subscribers: 2,886,676   I have also been loving...

Hey Guys x It feels like I did my February Favourites post really recently, I can't believe a month has already passed! As I always say, I love doing these posts because I really enjoy getting together all of my favourite things so that I can share them with you guys. And this month, I have some amazing things to share! Favourite Movie: The Boy Next Door   If you haven't seen this, it's basically about a woman, who is considering getting back together with her ex husband (who she has a teenage son with), when she sleeps with a student. This turns out to be a big mistake as the student was not all he seemed. This is a really good film, if you haven't seen it, then seriously watch it. It's a thriller but it's just such an interesting film. Although, if you're looking for a light-hearted film, this is not it! It is very intense, so be prepared for that!   Favourite TV Show: Family Guy   You probably know that I love Family Guy already...

Hey Guys x I meant to put this up yesterday but I left it really late before I wrote it and then I thought there was no point, so I decided to write and upload it today instead. So, I have been loving a lot of things throughout February and I can't wait to recommend some of my favourite things to you! Favourite Film: Beauty and the Beast   I have been in complete Disney mode this month! My favourite Disney movie at the moment is Beauty and the Beast and I have been watching it so much lately that it has to be my favourite February movie! I assume most people have seen this, but if you haven't seen it, watch it now! Even if you have seen it, just watch it again!   Favourite TV Show: Brooklyn 99   I love this show so much! I know that a lot of people are getting into this now, but I loved it from the first season last year and I was so excited for the next one to start. Yes, I know it's another 'cop show' and we already have a tonne of these on ...
