Bria Lou Reviews

Hey Guys x So, a while ago, I interviewed a few people and they were all kind enough to send me back their answers. However, I haven't been uploading them because I don't want to do too many at one time. So if I've interviewed you, don't worry, I haven't forgotten! And if I haven't emailed you about an interview yet, you might have an email coming your way within the next month! Anyway, the wonderful Izzy K has agreed to be interviewed by me, so thank you so much Izzy, I really appreciate it! The Interview How and why did you pick your blog name?   I really wanted something personal for my blog so I decided to use my real name. However, I didn't want to use my full name because I was absolutely terrified that someone from my school would find it. That's why I compromised with "Izzy K".      What is the hardest thing about blogging? Honestly? I find the hardest thing is simply not being able to do it enough. If it was up ...

Hey Guys x Lately, I've been trying not to do tags, just because I've done a lot in the past, but I've been nominated and tagged in a few things over the last 2 weeks. This tag (as well as others) really stood out to me. I was tagged by the amazing Emma and you should all go and check out her blog because it's amazing! It was also created by Ariel , whose blog I've only just discovered, but I can already see it's amazing! The Rules T hank your nominator/s and link them in the post Link the creator Ariel Post your 8 photos of happiness (the photos can be anything that represents a moment, object, place or feeling that makes you happy) Pop in a brief description of the photo, why you chose it or let the photos do the talking! Spread the happiness and tag up to ten other bloggers! 1   This picture is from New Year's Eve. It's the first one in my photos of happiness because it just holds such happy memories for me. I was out with some of...

Hey Guys x Before I start the review, I just want to tell you that I've now put social media buttons into my blog on the right hand side for my twitter, google+, email and bloglovin', so hopefully it's easier for you to follow me (if that's what you want to do!) Anyway, back to the review! I read this book when it first came out, because I was just so excited to read a book by Carrie Hope Fletcher! She's now announced that she's writing a fiction novel which is coming out next year and I am so excited to read that! This book is exactly what it says on the cover, Carrie's 'Wonderings and reflections on growing up gracefully'. In other words, she's writing about some mistakes that she made while growing up, and giving her advice on the best way to not make the same mistakes that she did. For example, in 'Act 2' (because her book is set up as if it's a play - which comes from her theatre background!) she has two chapters, one c...

Hey Guys x First of all, sorry I didn't post on Friday. I was at my prom and didn't get home until 2 in the morning! But I'm going to do a whole post on my prom experience tomorrow! Anyway, it's that time of the month again where I show you everything that I've been completely loving! I hope some of my favourites become favourites of yours too! Favourite Movie: Jurassic World The last post that I did was actually a review of this film, so you can click here to see that! But I thought this film was completely amazing! Without a doubt the best film I've seen this year, and I've seen a lot of films! You don't have to see the other Jurassic Park movies to see this, which was great for me as I can't really remember them well! Everyone needs to go and see this movie! Favourite TV Show: The Big Bang Theory Because I've finished school, I've had a lot of free time on my hands. So over 2 days last week, I watched the whole of the late...

Hey Guys x First of all, I'm posting on a Wednesday, which I haven't done in ages! I don't know if I'm going to be posting every Wednesday like I did before but I wanted to post this week! So, on Sunday I went to see Jurassic World. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much. I'm not the biggest fan of the original Jurassic Park movies - not that I don't like them, but I've always been more interested in different types of movies. But my mind was completely changed after seeing this! It is about a woman called Claire, who is the operations manager of the Jurassic World theme park. She has invited her two nephews (Zach and Gray) to visit the park and stay with her for a few days. While working, she comes into contact with Owen, a Velociraptor expert and trainer, and tells him about the newest dinosaur in the park. This dinosaur has been genetically mutated to scare the children at the park. However, messing with nature always has consequences, an...

Hey Guys x I have not had the chance to read for ages as I've been doing exams, so I was really excited to pick my summer reading books! I said in a post last week that I had chosen the 11 books that I would be reading this summer, and put them in order. I then went shopping on Friday, and couldn't resist buying two more (I actually bought 4 but 2 of them aren't in my 'Summer Reading' category) So I thought that I'd show you the books that I'm going to be reading! And hopefully, some of these books can make their way onto some of your summer reading lists too! 1. Nobody's Girl   This is the first book that I'm going to read. I always start my summer holidays by reading this book because I really love it and I always have to read it. I've spoken about it before so I won't go on about it again, but it really is an amazing book!   2. Ten Things We Shouldn't Have Done     Like 'Nobody's girl', thi...

Hey Guys x I can't believe I finally get to say this... I'VE FINISHED MY EXAMS! I'm writing this on Thursday, just after my last exam has finished! To be honest, my last exam did not go well, but I'm not even thinking about it because I've finally finished! I honestly worked my arse off and because of that, I'm going to enjoy my time off, no matter how I think I've done! For those who may want to know, I did/do English literature, sociology and religious studies, and I have to say, it's probably been one of the hardest years academically. Everyone talks about the jump between AS and A2 in the UK education system, but you never really know how big the jump is until you're actually revising! The content is crazy! Anyway, this isn't going to be a very long post because I'm just giving an update. When I left the exam hall, a great weight was lifted from me. I had no more revision to do. I can finally focus on reading and wri...
