Book review
I recently finished the book Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, i had heard a lot of hype around this book and had to give it a go. And it didn't disappoint. Without giving away too much the book is about a girl called Cath, who is an introverted self proclaimed 'fangirl'. She writes fan-fiction and struggles adjusting the university life. I really related to this book because i am also very introverted and like to keep myself to myself so it really resented with me. There is romance, sister love, and humour within this book and i would definitely recommend it if you fancy an easy read. 


Current work
Having finished my first year of university i've found that having so much time on your hands can be boring. For a while I've been taking a creative break catching up on TV and just having time to catch my breath. Now i have started a new sketchbook for no particular thing just to try some new things and practice my drawing. I am in the process of drawing a pattern wolf. These are my results so far, its taking longer than i though because pattern work is so much detail.

This year i took a trip to Lanzerote and had some really amazing experiences. The location was beautiful the weather was glorious and it was genrally a really fun time. I also got a chance to do some really interesting photography. I love photography and being in such a beautiful setting was pure bliss for me. We went to a zoo called texas rancho which was very cowboy themed, but the animals, my favorite being the otters were aborable. We also went to the markets, into costa tequese market and go karting so genrally the holiday was a real memorable experience.

                                                Books books books.

I've recently bought some new books, even thought i have millions which i haven't yet read. I just love buying books.

 Its a pretty random collection starting with More Than This by Patrick ness, when i saw this in water stones i initially picked it up because of the cover, as you can tell from my blog i love the black/yellow combination. From what i can tell the book is about a boy who drowns and dies (i no cheery) but wakes up in another world. This kind of fantasy style book is right up my street.

Second i bought another because i loved the cover called If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch which sounds like a really interesting story line about a girl who lives in the woods with her sister and drug addict mother who are then found by a stranger. For some reason i thing of the film Mama which i hated but it sounds like a real page turner.

I then got Everyday by David Levithan, I have read 2 Levithan books before those being Will Grayson, Will Grayson and boy meets boy. I found his books through john green and really love the way he writes his characters. This seems to be about a boy who wakes up as a different person everyday, (i would love to do that).

Then theres Lets explore diabetes with owls by David Sedaris which to be honest i don't no much about. Apparently its life story of the author but i bought it because i really liked the name of it, and there were a lot of good reviews on goodreads.com 

Finally is a creepy book called Rats by James Herbert, and again this was a cover bye, which has a the corner missing from rat like bites. I have started reading this and so far its really creepy and gruesome about giant man eating rats. I started it on an airplane and stopped because it made me feel sick, but i will eventually pick it up again.

                                                    HI.
