Books I'd Buy Right Now If Someone Handed Me A Fully Loaded Gift Card

Welcome back to my blog, lately I have had serious writing block, where I have just been writing names of blog posts and that's about it. So I wanted to ease my self back into blogging again by doing a fun kind of post. 

• Dorothy Koomson 

I am such a huge Dorothy Koomson fan. I love her books. 

• The Cupid Effect
• The Chocolate Run
• The Woman He Loved Before
• The Rose Petal Beach 
• The Flavors of Love
• That Girl From Nowhere

• Crossed and Reached by Ally Conde

Just so that could have the rest of the series on My Shelf, I have heard mixed views on the rest of the series

• Sarah Dessen's books

I have a love hate relationship with Sarah Dessen and would like to read more of her books. 

• Revenge Wears Prada by Lauren Wisebueger

I love The Devil Wears Prada and I haven't even read the second book. There is a lot of people that don't like the books but I want to make my own mind up. 

• Jacquline Wilson books

When I was younger I loved reading Jacqueline Wilson books, and I've always wanted to get all of her books.  If I had a fully loaded gift card I so would get all her books

• Complete the Lunar Chronicles 

Even though I am not a massive fan of the whole series so far (I've only read Cinder and Scarlet out of the three books I own) I still want to complete the series

• Anything related to Harry Potter

I mean I am such Potter head that if I could afford all of the Harry Potter related books I so would buy them all. 

• PS I Still Love You and Always and Forever, Lara Jean. Jenny Han 

I am not a massive fan of the first book, but want to read the last two just because I wanna know if it gets better 

• The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy. Jenny Han

I don't  know if I would like it but hey, I have a fully loaded gift card. So I could at least try. 

• An Abundance of Kathrines. John Green

Just because it's the only John Green book I don't own at the moment. 

• Girl Online: Going Solo and Girl Online: On Tour. Zoe Sugg

Just like the John Green books I don't own them and I have always liked owning the full set of books. 

• Carrie Hope Fletcher's Books

I haven't read any of Carrie's Novels yet, but would love to, so having a gift card would be perfect. 

So there we have it, the Books I'd Buy Right Now If Someone Handed Me A Fully Loaded Gift Card

Genre:

Started: July 4th 2017

Goodreads: 3*

Welcome to my review on Since Last Summer. The sequel to the last book review that I did. 

ABOUT THE BOOK

Rory is going to the Hamptons to spend the summer with her Boyfriend Conner, and her friend Isobel. This year will be different after the fall out of Isobel finds out about her true parents are, and the fact that Rory isn't working for the Rules this summer. 

REVIEW

I love the book, it such a cheese fest summer book and I love it. You know what going to happen, but still it's a great book for the summer. 

Even though it is a lot of cheese I like the fact that it's just normal teenage drama and that the main characters aren't quite as amazing as they seem to be to others. 

Even though I enjoyed the book It's just a typical teen romance etc, it's such a super easy summer read. 

NOPE. Book Tag

Welcome

To the Nope Book Tag. Like most book tags I do I want tagged to do it but this tag seemed really interesting. Yet on the other hand it was really hard to decide on which book fit for each question and then there were some that were so perfect for it. 

1. NOPE. Ending: 

A book ending that made you go NOPE either in denial, rage, or simply because the ending was crappy.

• Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. Pure and utter denial that something that i grew up with is over.  
• The Ice Cream Girls. Again another denial one. I mean I loved the book so when it ended I was heartbroken. 

2. NOPE. Protagonist: 

A main character you dislike and drives you crazy.

• Lara Jean from To All The Boys I've Loved Before. She drives me insane. That I just wanted to slap her 

3. NOPE. Series: 

A series that turned out to be one huge pile of NOPE. after you’ve invested all of that time and energy on it, or a series you gave up on because it wasn’t worth it anymore.

• Twilight Saga. Now let me start by explaining my self. Years ago when I was younger I had to complete the series either books or movies or what ever. So when I got the first book in the series I had to buy the rest. I couldn't find them anywhere in store so I went online and got them. Well that was a mistake. I hate the story, the plot line the romance everything about it.  And what's even more annoying is that the last two books are completely different then the first two in the fact the first two are more of a paperback kind of feeling

4. NOPE. Popular pairing: 

A “ship” you don’t support.

• I'm not really into ships anyway but I know people like the Scarlet and Wolf sip in Scarlet the second Lunar Chronicles book. For me personally it's the ship I like the least. 

5. NOPE. Plot twist: 

A plot twist you didn’t see coming or didn’t like.

• The twist in The Glass wives was really well written. There were so many yet they flowed well together 
• The plot twist at the end of The Ice Cream Girls was also really well done. 

6. NOPE. Protagonist action/decision: 

A character decision that made you shake your head NOPE.

• Peter's decision to stay in a relationship with Lara Jean. I mean is he crazy. Lara is such a winny baby. 

7. NOPE. Genre: 

A genre you will never read.

• I'm not sure if it's even a genre but I never want to read graphic novels. 

8. NOPE. Book format: 

Book formatting you hate and avoid buying until it comes out in a different edition

• I don't tend to skip out on books with a format. I don't like short Chapters but I'm sure any version of the book wouldn't change the chapter settings. 

9. NOPE. Trope: 

A trope that makes you go NOPE.

• At the moment it's vampires. I can't deal with them in any way shape or form. 

10. NOPE. Recommendation: 

A book recommendation that is constantly hyped and pushed at you that you simply refuse to read.

• I Have learned my lesson and I don't tend to buy hyped up books anymore. 

11. NOPE. Cliche/pet peeve: 

A cliche or writing pet peeve that always makes you roll your eyes.

• I always eye roll at books that have super short Chapters. I don't mind if it's one or two through the book. But every chapter annoys me

12. NOPE. Love interest: 

The love interest that’s not worthy of being one. A character you don’t think should have been a viable love interest.

• Honestly this is so hard. I think that most romances make the book the book it is. But that is me

13. NOPE. Book: 

A book that shouldn’t have existed that made you say NOPE.

• it's a whole series but the Twilight saga. That shit is so bad and the fact that someone wrote a fan fiction about it and it got published. 

14. NOPE. Villain: 

A scary villain/antagonist you would hate to cross and would make you run in the opposite direction.

• Greyback from the Harry Potter Series. I can deal with Voldemort and his death eaters, I can deal with the snatchers and the Dementors but the one thing that I know I couldn't deal with is Greyback.  

15. NOPE. Death: 

A character death that still haunts you.

Fred Weasley. Anyone who know me knows that A) I love Twins and B) Fred and George Weasley have been my favourite characters since I first ever read Harry Potter and it's been hard to find a character I love as much. Sure there's others I like but when Fred died a little bit of me went with him. 

16. NOPE. Author: 

An author you had a bad experience reading for and have decided to quit.

• I have read some bad books but i don't want to cut any authors out just because I have read a bad book by them.

Childhood Books

Welcome to this weeks Top 5 Wednesday. It feels like forever since I have done one. 

• Noddy
• Enid Blyton

I was obsessed with Noddy when I was younger. When I say obsessed I mean it was like major obsession. I had books, watch the tv shows, have toys, cups, plates, cutlery, I would make anything noddy if I could. My parents would say that everytime Noddy came on TV and my mum was in the other room I would scream for her and when she came in to see what was wrong I tell her to be quite because Noddy was on TV. She would stand at the door and watch me sing along to the theme song. Also when I was younger we would play a game called 'Where is Bumpy Dog' where every time we would go past a lot of trees we would make up stories about Bumpy Dog being lost in them and being chased by the gremlins and I'd have to roll down the window to let him in the car and hide him from them. 

• The Witches
• Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl was one of my favourite authors when I was a kid, and while most of my friends liked the BFG, I liked The Witches

• Vicky Angel
• Jacqueline Wilson 

I have no idea why I love this book so much, but I do. I mean it's a fantastic book that I would read over and over again. 

• The Suitcase Kid 
• Jacqueline Wilson

The Suitcase Kid was my favourite book as a kid. It stuck with me for ages after reading it and I loved re reading it all the time. 

• Harry Potter Series
• JK Rowling

Ok I know this is super corny, and everyone will want to put it down and won't, but I will. I remember reading the third book in 2002, when I was at a school I hated and just remembering that I wish I was at Hogwarts

Publisher: Poppy

Genre: Summer Romance. 

Started: June 2017

Finished: July 4th 2017

Goodreads: 4*

Welcome to another book review. This one is on the book Rules of Summer by Joanna Philbin

About The Book

Rory McShane decides to get out of town for a while, and agrees to be a summer errand girl for the Rules, a wealthy family who during the summer stay in the Hampton's

Isabel Rule is the youngest of the Rule family and feels like an out cast. She soon realizes why, and stands up to her mother more then she already did. 

Both girls are completely different but become fast friends. 

REVIEW

The book is such a classic summer book with love and friendship. 

What I like about this book is that two different young girls both have different experiences during their summers become friends. 

The book is so quick and simple to read because not only my age, but the theme of the book is just a typical summer romance book. 

I like this book as well because looks can be deceiving. When I first got it I thought it was going to be something completely different. So when I did read it the first time I was surprised. 

The themes of the book are just a classic summer novel.
