I’m Back!!

Hello strangers,

I am back after about a year of not writing. I thought it was time for me to return after my last post about my personal struggles. I am here to stay and write some more!

What’s New ?

I’ve moved into my own house so as you can imagine its been a stressful journey. But it has been the best decision I have made. I am not fully set up in my home but slow and steady wins the race as they say.

I have returned from Scotland not long ago which was a beautiful place and would definitely return back.

Other than that not much else is new.

Book talk!

I am finally getting back into reading which I am so happy about due to it being a big passion of mine.

I have recently finished the high rated “If he had been with me” by Laura Nowlin. I will post a review at the beginning of this week coming. I have been re reading the Morganville series which is one of my favourites. I have a thing for vampire books so any good ones let me know in the comments 🙂

My current read is “Slated” which is part of a trilogy set. I am enjoying it so far it is providing me with dystopian vibes. Which is another genre I love! Shout out to the “Ugly series” I have much love for them.

I hope to reach my goal for 15 books this year which seems reachable even though it says i am 4 behind target. I read books quickly normally in 2/3 days.

That is all for now. Thank you for reading don’t forget to comment any Vampire or dystopian book recommendations in the comments!

Where my passion for reading started!

Hi readers I hope everyone is doing good this April!!! I have had a bad start to April with losing a job but I will keep moving forward! Today I’m going to talk about my reading passion. I hope you enjoy 🙂

Reading

I think reading became my passion when my English teacher provide a few of us with a book called “Noughts & Crosses” by Malorie Blackman. I will never forget the feeling of getting hooked into a good book! It lets u escape your reality and become part of another. I then read The Mortal Instrument series after and since then I have been so passionate about books and reading.

It is mainly what I started this blog for too as it provided me with space to review some of the books I was given to read. But a question for my readers is do you have a favourite author or book? As a true reader I could never pick but a favourite author is easy for me as I have loved and read all her books! The author is Sarah Dessen and I think I love her because she writes such good young adult stories that kept me hooked throughout. My favourite book of hers is “Lock and Key” it is such a lovely book about first love and I recommend to read!

Also, my passion lead me to Bookstagram. It created a platform for booklovers to connect there love for reading to each other. It helped me a lot through covid times being stuck at home all the time. I have not been active at all on it recently but that is due to my mental health and I hope to find the time to connect again with the lovely platform.

The image above is taken from recent holiday in Iceland and you can never take the bookworm away from me as I saw this bar and all around was books! It was like a dream for me. But I lost my reading due to my mental health struggle and I know I will return to reading many books again just within time!!!

That’s all for todays blog I hope you enjoy reading it:) Don’t forget to comment your favourite books and authors!!

Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini Book Review!

Hi to all my readers 🙂 This my first book review on one of my fav book series. So have a look see what you think.

The book is based on character of Helen who has weird nightmares and is drawn to Lucas who has no idea of their secrets. Fate drives this story about repeating of history, as Helen unlocks the secrets of her ancestry and she realises the myths are true.

From the title of the book Starcrossed suggests, from my point of view that people cannot be together for some reason. This is what the novel does it creates obstacles in which two people from different backgrounds face.

My view on the novel, is it set out background of the story and where it was going in the first few chapters. It creates hatred towards characters because of the past. “Meeting his eyes was an awakening” This quote so short and sweet as it gets straight to the point.

“Gorge-ousl! I can see why she’s got Luke’s panties in a twist, she said with a cheeky grin.” “No! That’s all done with!”

This is one of my fav quotes in the story. It allows to show the cheesy romance in the air and, the kind of character Helen is. It brings in Greek myths and all things Zeus etc…

The genre is Fantasy Romance one of my fav genres ha-ha. There are books like Percy Jackson that also, relate to Greek gods and myths but I feel that this series connected with me through the romance storyline and the plot unfolding through each chapter.

With all books there are negatives however, as my rating is 5* I don’t think it could get any better but, that maybe due to my love of these types of books. One thing makes book so great is the characters throughout the book and there are twists at every corner.

100% Recommend a read of this book! Don’t forget the other two DREAMLESS AND GODDESS!

Thanks for reading! 🙂 Maybe post new poem later or tomorrow

Beginner Writer!

Writing is a way to express emotions and feelings that some understand and others don’t. We all have creativity. Some choose to express through words and others like to draw or paint and more. Bellow are two poems i wrote to express my feelings not only to others but myself. Enjoy! 🙂

Crush

My eyes glistening with happiness and hate,

Blue icy eyes that dropped me in an ocean,

Chestnut hair so dark and mysterious with that irresistible attraction,

Crush me in your heart and love me.

Talking to those eyes I drowned right in you could speak anything,

One time I think I stopped breathing my heart felt no longer mine but yours,

That bitch liked him too well I will kill you and boil you!

Feeling that could lift my sprits with that one site howmuch I prayed you loved me back.

The special time of day which kept me on my toes for this feeling to acquire.

The talking stopped oh why you broke my heart and started to ignore me,

The tears never came however much I tried I just kept loving him.

Hate is what was supposed to come but I could never stoploving for my heart is stuck in that one beat.

Crush how ironic as you crushed my heart for some skinny bitch girl!

I loved you first why go for looks just because you will get a good fuck.

Karma is a bitch she dumped you for a better guy but still I feel you didn’t deserve it,

I loved you and still do and now my heart is stuck on you.

Ocean

Ocean, you call me to your waters.

Your smooth but ruff emotions glisten,

In the wet, cool, moist texture,

the rushing in and out of your waves.

The sleepless sound draws me in.

The emotions run high as you clash away.

The story keeps flowing through your veins.

By now people must be sick of you, yet it entertains.

No one can build you, yet you flow,

You provide life when no one else will,

Yet you still always frill.

I look in the blue and I see me.

You scare a lot through the lives you take.

I understand that it is not you that chooses,

yet the souls you take still leaves bruises.

I look in your water and I see the grief that always loses.

Thanks for reading. Hope to write more imaginative writing soon 🙂
