  Here is another 'mystery' book, but to be honest, I enjoyed this book much more than ''The Missing" as it had more of a definite plot and it was a lot easier to understand. As I said before, mystery books are not the kind of books that I normally read. This book was actually a recommendation from my mum. She originally bought it for me, but ended up reading it herself. She immediately loved it and practically forced me to read it, causing me to love it too.   The book is about Tim Blake, a divorced single-father of a teenage daughter, Sydney. Sydney is staying with her dad while she works during the summer at a hotel. However, one day when Tim goes to pick Sydney up from work, the hotel workers and manager have never heard of her. That evening, she doesn't come home. So Tim looks for her, and keeps looking, spurred on by the fact that some very dangerous people are as keen to find Sydney as he is, and Tim knows that he needs to find her first.   ...

Last night, me and two of my friends went to see 'The Fault In Our Stars' film. I was so excited and was anticipating that I would cry, kind of like how I felt when I was about to read the book. We saw it 4 days after it came out here in the UK (It came out on the 19th) because we wanted to make sure that we were not in a crowded cinema, as the rustling and whispered talking of the people around you will ruin your viewing pleasure, and we were letting nothing ruin TFIOS.   This was my seat in the cinema just before the film started. I was so excited that I took many pictures, but this one was the only one that was light enough for you to actually be able to see anything!   Obviously I've already written a book review for the book, so I won't waste time by repeating the plot to you, but if you want to know the basic plot, check out my book review by clicking here: http://louleecutie.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/review-2-fault-in-our-stars-by-john.html   ...

I love books. I have too many books and will always choose to buy more rather than to give some away. Since my birthday, in December, until now, I have accumulated so many books that I haven't had a chance to read, so I thought I would use this post to show you some of the books that I have either bought or been given that I haven't had a chance to read.                                                         Joey Essex - Being Reem I am a big fan of TOWIE (The only way is Essex) and I enjoyed watching Joey when he was on it, so  knew that I had to buy his book. Although I haven't read it, I know that, as well as being light-hearted, he also touches on serious issues, such as the dea...

We all have our idols. Personally, I have had a good few idols in my life and these tend to change. By idols, I mean the celebrities (and youtubers) in our lives that we look up to. We have these idols for many different reasons. For example: They have our ideal body- They have our ideal career- We're in love with them-   We aspire to be just like them-     Or all of the above. But the point is, a lot of us need these idols to survive, we need someone who we can look up to and aspire to be like, so that we can plan our future around them, and this isn't a bad thing.   We just have to remember that, by basing our lives around celebrities, we are stopping ourselves from basing our lives around ourselves.   As well as this, all these things are subjective. We have different idols because we have different ideal body shapes, different career goals, different aspirational boyfriends and different people who we want to ...

This is the first novel that I am reviewing that is a thriller rather than romance or fantasy. As far as I know, this is one of Lisa McMann's most popular books, and I loved reading it. The book is about Kendall. She has OCD, and lives in a small town where everyone knows everyone. This makes it a surprise when someone disappears. Fast forward a few months and everyone has stopped talking about the strange incident. However, Kendall can't. And with her not-really-a-boyfriend Nico, she can't shake the feeling that something isn't right. Could this have something to do with new town residents Jacian and Marlena? Or is there a problem with Nico that Kendall just can't work out? The character of Kendall, as mentioned before, has really bad OCD, which is something that the author had first hand knowledge of as her daughter suffers from the same condition. I loved this element because it allowed people to be able to sympathise with Kendall and it made people reading...

 Before I start this post, I want to link two videos. They are both 'Zoella' videos in which she talks about anxiety in general and her own anxiety. I want to do this because I want you to know that I am in no way an expert on anxiety, and although Zoella isn't an expert either, she knows more about it than I do. Dealing With Panic Attacks And Anxiety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-iNOFD27G4 Anxiety Q&A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sjuk3WMZByo I have anxiety. I don't know if what I have is an anxiety disorder or just 'normal' anxiety, but it has always been a normal part of my life, and I've never really spoken to anyone in depth about it. From a young age, being in certain social situations has literally filled me with dread and to this day, this has never really changed. The older I get, the harder it becomes because I'm much more aware of it. For example, I may not have liked going to big parties when I was 10, but now I'm old...

I am a great lover of horror films, they are my favourite type of films to watch and there are some that I could literally watch over and over again! This was originally going to be one of my usual 'top 10' posts, but I kept remembering more movies and I couldn't narrow them down. Here are my top 15: 15) I Know What You Did Last Summer I haven't seen this film in a long time, but every time I watch it, I fall in love with it again. It is about a group of teenagers (Pictured above) have a road accident and end up running over a man in the road. They decide to throw his body into a river and forget that it ever happened. However, someone saw what they did, and they're going to make sure that the teenagers know it. It had the right amount of jump-moments while allowing me to sleep peacefully at night.
