My Top 10 YouTubers!

My favourite YouTubers! Many of you may not know this, but I am a huge fan of YouTubers. I literally spend all of the spare time that I have stalking them on twitter and watching/re-watching their videos. So I thought that I would put some of my favourites into this blog, by letting you know who I consider to be my top 10! 10. Tanya Burr Subscribers: 2,044,318 Tanya Burr is at number 10!

She now has a range of 'lips and nails' products on sale in Superdrug and it is hard not to be proud of her after seeing how hard she has worked for what she now has. Favourite Video: "'What is it?'

Then I saw the movie of 'My Sister's Keeper', and after a year of stopping myself, I bought the book and loved every page. But 'The Fault in our stars' was different. I had heard people mentioning it and seen people talking about it on twitter for absolutely ages before I even thought about buying the book. When I picked it up in a Waterstones one day, I didn't even know what it was about, I just knew that I had to read it. I opened the first page and was immediately catapulted into the story of Hazel Grace Lancaster, the main character. The story was set up so that the audience would feel sorry for her, but the best thing about Hazel was that...

Book Review #1 - Divergent by Veronica Roth

You need to read this I recently read Divergent by Veronica Roth. It is based on a girl called Tris (Beatrice) who lives in a dystopian society, forced at 16 to make a choice. To choose where she wants to spend the rest of her life. She has a choice between 5 factions that each represent different things: Amity represents kindness/peacefulness, Candor represents honesty, Erudite represents intelligence, Dauntless represents bravery and Abnegation represents selflessness. Born into Abnegation, Tris has to choose whether she wants to stay in her old faction or move into a new one. However, there's a problem. All students are made to take an aptitude test to see which faction best suits them. Tris finds out that she belongs to more than one faction. They call this 'Divergent'. Tris doesn't know why, but this is dangerous. The book shows Tris making her decision, and what the consequences of that decision entail. This is the biggest decision of her life and she doesn...
