I remember loving the Mortal Engines books when I was younger; I was beginning to develop a proper taste in books, and it was hard to find dark books that were still suitable for an ten year old! My parents, my granny and I used to listen to the Mortal Engines audiobooks on long car […]

The MaddAddam Trilogy
One of my favourite series of books EVER, these are the books that introduced me to the wonderful world of Margaret Atwood. Since discovering her books, I have never read a single Atwood novel that wasn’t brilliant. Although these books are a trilogy, they manage to defy the usual pattern of the sequel being the […]
Top shows to binge watch
Firefly: There may be only one series of this, but it is impossible to deny its overall amazingness! Because it is written by Joss Whedon there are loads of great bits of dialogue and occasionally a hilarious joke, my personal favourites being Jayne’s hat and Shepherd Book’s hair. Orphan Black: Season Four of this has […]
Why Brooklyn Nine-Nine is the best show ever
It doesn’t have a laughter track. The characters are a diverse mix of people. However, their diversity does not provide the basis for individual characters’ plot lines. (Ahem, Modern Family…) Andy Samberg’s face. Enough said. It’s super quotable. I don’t know how many times my friends and I have said ‘samesies’ or ‘for reals’. Although I have to […]
Pitch Perfect 2 review
Apologies, but this post will be more of a rant than a review! So, I liked the original Pitch Perfect movie- it wasn’t particularly deep and meaningful, but had its moments, and overall it was a good feel good film. I don’t really see why a sequel was made- there was no need plot-wise, so […]
Top 5 books I have never finished
The House Of The Scorpion by Nancy Farmer: I’m not sure why I didn’t reach the end of this book; I actually really enjoyed what I did read of it. Maybe I will reread it soon… The Immortals by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell: I am ashamed to say that although I read all nine […]
Recent Reads
I haven’t written a book review in a while, so I thought I would share the books I have recently finished in a collection of mini reviews I Am The Cheese by Robert Cormier: This book is pretty good- it took me a while to get into it, but it’s worth it for the twist […]
Skincare routine
Just to let you know, I usually use products recommended for combination/oily skin, so please don’t use these products if you have dry skin! My skin is often acne prone and I get very dry lips. I have to be careful which products I use because lots of them make me break out. I have […]
Movie Review: Begin Again
I remember seeing the trailer for Begin Again whilst I was watching The 100! Honestly, I thought it looked extremely cheesy and cliched, and I thought I would never watch it… However the other day I was ill so I thought I’d check it out, and I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it! The […]
Naked palette vs dupe
So I’ve had the first Naked palette for about two years now, and I definitely use a few colours a whole lot more than the rest of the palette. Virgin- for highlighting my cupids bow and under my eyebrows. I use it over the top of a MAC prep and prime highlighter pen, but I don’t usually […]
