January Wrap Up

Hey guys

So it's came to the time of month where I talk about the books I've read during said month. So let's get into it.

Smoke and Mirrors by Elly Griffiths
This book was amazingly good! I had no idea where the book was going or who the murder was and I loved it. I don't normally like reading crime/mystery books, but with the help of this book that could change.
There is a series of these books called Stephens and Mephisto Mysteries and you don't necessarily have to read them in order, but it's probably best you do. This one ended up being good the second book and as soon as I finished it, I ordered the first book called The Zig Zag Girl. And I'll definitely be reading the others as well.
I gave this book a 5/5 on Goodreads.

The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher
I love Star Wars and I knew I would love this book too, and I did. I learnt quite a bit while reading this. A few things were about what the service was like but I learnt a lot about Carrie Fisher. I loved Carrie Fisher, I still do actually, but I didn't know a lot about her. So, because of this I understand her as an actual person who didn't have plans on becoming an actress and that it was a coincidence, and not just a pretty face that graced our TV screens.
There were some chapters that's were really long and it made it hard to get into at times. Which is why I've gave it a 4/5 on Goodreads.

The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
This book is amazing! There were so many great stories in here that I sometimes found it hard to put the book down. There were a few that I couldn't really get into and I had trouble putting a picture together in my head, but that was only about 3 stories, so I loved more than I didn't like.
I also love how at the end of every chapter there was a short story/poem to do with something in that story. I was quite sad that I finished it to be honest. But it probably doesn't help that the last line was "and that's the end of the Mowgli stories" (I'm sorry if that was a spoiler or anything, I don't think it is though since it doesn't really give anything away).
Overall I gave this a 4/5 on Goodreads.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
There isn't much I can say about this book that nobody knows already.
But I will say this, it's so much better than the film. There's so many characters in here that you don't get in the film, and it's a shame.
So it's no surprise that I have given this a 5/5 on Goodreads countless of times.

So that's the wrap up for this month. I don't this I did too bad considering 2 were quite longish books.
Also my February TBR will be next.

Till next time
Byeeeeeeee

Paper Towns - Book Talk *None Spoiler*

Hey guys, So this is my first official post on here about books so be prepared if it isn't 100% great, or even 50% for that matter, I will try to get better. Anyway, my first post is going to be a book discussion/talk about Paper Towns by John Green. For those of you who don't know this is what Paper Towns is about:         This is a YA book and it is about a boy called Quentin who has been in love with a girl called Margo since he was a kid. Margo is a legend around their school for her adventures. Then, one night she climbs through Q's bedroom window asking him to join her on an adventure full of revenge on her old friends. The next day Margo doesn't turn up to school along with the rest of the week. Q soon finds small clues about her disappearance specifically for him. With the help from his friends, Q sets off on an amazing road trip across America to go and find Margo. This is the first John Green book that I have read which was back in the start of...

Disney Movies To Books

Hey guys I've been into Disney Movies for the past week, they're all I've been watching, apart from the occasional horror. Big change of genres, I know haha. So because of my Disney binge faze part 100, I decided to make this. Descendants So this movie is about the children of 4 villains: Carlos son on Cruella De Vil, Jay son of Jafar, Evie daughter of The Evil Queen, and Mal daughter of Maleficent. They live on an island called The Isle Of The Lost, and it's where all the villains were banished to. Then there is Auradon where all the good people live, and the King and Queen are Adam and Belle. Their son, Ben, decides to make a proclamation to give the villain kids a chance of being good, he chooses Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos. Before they 4 leave the Isle, Maleficent has set a task for them. And that's to steal the Fairy Godmothers wand. If you like the film, you'll like... Isle Of The Lost by Melissa De La Cruz This is set just before the...

April TBR

Hey guys First of all I want to say sorry about not posting on Saturday, but I was unbelievably ill, and now I've really only gotten 100% better. I'll most likely do that planned post next month. I got this idea from BooksandLala ( Her video ). She made her son choose some books for her to read. One for the title, one for the cover, one for the synopsis, and one random book from her bookshelf. And I got inspired, so I got my mam to do the same for me! The first one that my mam chose (because of the title) was: Six Of Crows by Leigh Bardugo Katterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price - and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can't pull this alone... A convict with a thirst for revenge. A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager. A runaway with a privileged past. A ...
