I just recently re-watched The Breakfast Club, which if you didn’t already know is a 80s film about five teenagers that have to attend Saturday detention.

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS OF ALL 3 BOOKS AHEAD – you have been warned! BOOK #1 Title: To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before Author: Jenny Han Page count: 421 Date published: 15 April 2014 Genre: Romance & Contemporary Rating: Synopsis: What if all the crushes you ever had found out how you felt about them… all at once? Sixteen-year-old Lara Jean Song keeps her love letters in a hatbox her mother gave her. They aren’t love letters that anyone else wrote for her; these are ones she’s written. One for every boy she’s ever loved—five in all. When she writes, she pours out her heart and soul and says all the things she would never say in real life, because her letters are for her eyes only. Until the day her secret letters are mailed, and suddenly, Lara Jean’s love life goes from imaginary to out of control. MY THOUGHTS I haven’t loved a book this much in such a long time. It was so amazingly good. I had the best time reading them all. This book is amazing. And you should go and read it. Lara Jean is the best. She loves to bake and read and wear quirky…

Name: Everything Everything Director: Stelle Meghie Writer: J. Mills Goodloe Release date: 19/05/2017 Rating Synopsis:  Maddy (Amandla Stenberg) is a smart, curious and imaginative 18-year-old who is unable to leave the protection of the hermetically-sealed environment within her house because of an illness. Olly (Nick Robinson) is the boy next door who won’t let that stop them from being together. Gazing through windows and talking only through texts, Maddy and Olly form a deep bond that leads them to risk everything to be together, even if it means losing everything. MY THOUGHTS (NO SPOILERS) I think the saying is pretty accuarte: the book is always better. I was really excited for this film, which is why I picked up the book in the first place. Click here for my review. I did like this movie, and it’s quite an accurate adaption. Stays very true to the book, but I didn’t feel the feelings I did while reading. It was sometimes a little awkward in scenes. And I feel that the screen cuts were sometimes a little confusing. Amandla played her part very well, and Nick did too. I was in a theatre of girls that were talking and laughing kind of…

  Title: Geekerella Author: Ashley Poston Page count: 320 Date published: 14 April 2017 Genre: Contemporary & Romance Rating: Synopsis: When geek girl Elle Wittimer sees a cosplay contest sponsored by the producers of Starfield, she has to enter. First prize is an invitation to the ExcelsiCon Cosplay Ball and a meet-and-greet with the actor slated to play Federation Prince Carmindor in the reboot. Elle’s been scraping together tips from her gig at the Magic Pumpkin food truck behind her stepmother’s back, and winning this contest could be her ticket out once and for all—not to mention a fangirl’s dream come true. Teen actor Darien Freeman is less than thrilled about this year’s ExcelsiCon. He used to live for conventions, but now they’re nothing but jaw-aching photo sessions and awkward meet-and-greets. Playing Federation Prince Carmindor is all he’s ever wanted, but the diehard Starfield fandom has already dismissed him as just another heartthrob. As ExcelsiCon draws near, closet nerd Darien feels more and more like a fake—until he meets a girl who shows him otherwise. MY THOUGHTS (SPOILERS AHEAD) I have to admit, I’d never read a read a Cinderella retelling before I read this book. I really loved it…

I’ve been seeing this tag go around, and I jumped at the opportunity to talk about anything related to Harry Potter. I haven’t been tagged by anyone, by I going to do it anyway. This tag was created by Zombie Goddess Beauty 1. What house are you in? Proudly Gryffindor. But it’s kind of a funny story (well at least it is in my eyes. Who am I? The master of laughter? hey, that rhymes). I feel that I have qualities that each house represents. I was first sorted into Gryffindor but made two other accounts and got Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. But I mainly recognise with Gryffindor. 2. What is your patronus? My patronus is a kingfisher. It’s some kind of bird. And it’s pretty, so I’m happy. I also got a mole and a grey mare. Don’t judge me. I don’t really like the mole either. 3. What is your wand? My wand is 10 3/4 inch spruce wood with a unicorn hair core. 4. What would your boggart be? This is actually a really hard question. I have a fear of heights and falling down, so something along those lines. 5. What position would you play in Quidditch?…

Has anyone else noticed that there are now so many books that are being created into tv shows? And how many tv shows are based on historical events? I’ve seen it a lot recently and thought it would be great to share with you and gain other’s thoughts. There are so many books, especially book series, that are now popular tv shows, a well-known one being Game of Thrones. I’ve heard phenomenal things about this tv shows and it has such a huge fanbase. And the show brings awareness to that time of the world it is set in. An important part of human history. And isn’t clever how people bring attention to that part of our history. In my opinion, I think it’s great that there are now so many tv shows based on such important parts of the past. Netflix now has a big chunk of historical tv shows to watch. The Crown, Reign, Vikings. These events are so important to many parts of history, and it’s awesome that they’ve found a way to tell these stories and targeted it in such a way that will attract viewers to learn this important information. Thousands and thousands of people across…

Episode Name: Awake, Arise or Be Forever Fallen Director: Amanda Row Writer: Jamie Gorenberg Running time: 43 min Release Date: 31/07/2017 Genre: Fantasy Rating: Synopsis After a devastating attack at the Institute, everyone is on high alert as the Shadowhunters close in on their hunt for Jonathan. Meanwhile, Simon and Maia help a new Downworlder as the Seelie Queen demands an answer from Magnus and Luke. MY THOUGHTS (SPOILERS AHEAD) – especially for City of Glass book So, the main focus of this episode was Max. I have mixed feelings about all that happened. I liked that the Lightwoods came together, but the rest that went down felt odd. Are there even medics in the Institute? The thing is, Max’s death was very important to the ending of CoG and most of those events play big roles in later books. I don’t know where that whole storyline is going to go, we’ll have to wait and see. Oh my gosh, Malec gave me the feels. I LOVED the Malec flashbacks. There were so good and felt so real and normal. I’m really intrigued to see where their relationship goes. Also, Maia and Simon are SO cute and I’m super pumped for…
