Thursday Tracks: Hell Nos and Headphones by Hailee Steinfield

So I know that I run a book blog but I saw this feature on  Gone With The Words  and thought it would be interesting to tell you about my music tastes with the  Thursday Tracks  feature. So let's get started... The song that I am going to talk about this week is... Hell Nos and Headphones by Hailee Steinfield  Although Hailee Steinfield is most known for her acting, she released an EP called Haiz this year and it has been on repeat since it's release. The whole EP is amazing however this is my favourite song. Hope you enjoy this one.  What is you favourite song this week? Leave it in the comments below. See you soon,  Amy

To find more about Top 5 Wednesday’s you can join the  goodreads group  and discover the creator of the group  Lainey . So let’s get started… Number 5: Throne Of Glass by Sarah J. Maas   I know... I know... In my opinion, the Throne of Glass series is really hype up and I was expecting to read some really amazing book but I feel like I didn't. I did not really Celaena in the book however I have started to read some of The Assassin's Blade and I like her character more and do want to carry on with this series. I also hear it get's better?  Number 4: Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi   This is one that has been super hyped when I read it back in January and I thought I would be s

It's Tuesday which means that it is time for a Top Ten Tuesday post. This week's topic is my most anticipated releases for the first half of 2016.  The Top Ten Tuesday feature was created by The Broke and the Bookish and more about it can be found  here . Let's get started... Number 10: Square Root of Summer by  Harriet Reuter Hapgood   I have heard people get excited about this book and I am one of them. This book's premise seems interesting and the UK cover is pretty. I really want to read. Number  9: Beautiful Broken Things by Sara Barnard In the UK this book has been getting a lot of hype on the blogging scene where everyone is saying just how good it is and I want to get reading this. I actually have it from netgalley so I guess I can read it already. I need to get on it...

Book Reviews: Graphic Novels #1

* I have received an eARCs of these graphic novels in exchange for an honest review via NetGalley. This in no way affects my review * Graphic Novel Review #1: Title: Side-Kicked Author:  Russell Brettholtz Source:  NetGalley  Publisher: Magnetic Press Inc.  Rating:  2/5 stars Graphic Novel Review Summary: I thought I would really like this comic, it is one that I thought would interest me, being the premise was about trying to find sidekicks, and this is something I should enjoy being that I like books or graphic novels that do not focus on the chosen one however this one was not for me. I did not feel engaged with the story that after 10 pages, I did just want it to be finished. This being the case I did end up stopping at after this. The artwork also was not to my taste as well and I thought that it was quite normal and did not stand out. As I have been reading more graphic novels as of late this one was average and did not stand out from the crowd
