The Beautiful Blogger Award

So last week I was notified that I had been tagged to do the Beautiful Blogger award by the lovely Rambling Reads, so thank you so much for tagging me. This tag allows you to list some fact about yourself. The rules are as follows...

Rules:

Link the blogger who took the time to nominate you.

List seven random things about yourself.

Nominate seven beautiful, creative bloggers.

Notify the amazing people who you nominated for the award.

So let's get started...

1. I state my favourite book of all time has to be The Book Thief by Marcus Zusack.

2. I am currently studying for a History degree but I don't read much historical fiction.

3. I have a twin sister called Rebecca. I am older by one minute.

4. I am currently taking a film module at university which has made me more interested in black and white films as before I did not like them before. It has also made me more conscious of the production of a film and film's history.

5. Recently I have stopped comparing book to movie adaptations to each other because I know there are going to be different and they are different mediums so not everything from the book is going to fit in the film.

6. I really like indie films.

7. I have recently rediscovered my love of creating with the help of my Wreck This Journal.

8. I didn't think I could think of seven interesting facts about myself, I was wrong.

Hope you enjoyed the facts about myself and I hope you learnt something new about me!

As per, I am not going to tag anyone but if anyone wants to do this tag feel free.

What are seven facts about you? Leave them in the comments below.

See you soon,

My Reading Tastes Are Changing

For the last couple of years, I feel like this has become a reoccurring blog post but I want to talk about it now because I think something is actually happening in my reading life. My reading tastes are changing. I've felt it for a while. I haven't really been drawn to YA titles that much anymore especially contemporary. Being busy in my time, I have been really selective in the books that I pick up so for me: the shorter, the better. And when picking up shorter books, the less likely they are to be YA. The more I am exposed to more books, the more I get to read books that I connect to Some of the books that I have picked up have really surprised me because of how much I ended up enjoying them. I think as I grow older, I am looking for different stories, different experiences and different perspectives. These don't just fit the YA mould. I also have been really into different genres like horror and the occasional thriller which have not read from before and I'm interes

Favourite Graphic Novels & Manga of 2021

As I have read a lot of books this year, I always want to give graphic novels and manga their own celebration as they often get overlooked and do make up a lot of my reading. I also find that even though I read a lot of them, it takes a lot to convince me and make it a new favourite. So here are my best... Heartstopper Volume 4 by Alice Oseman Like everyone on the internet, I too am a massive Heartstopper fan and Volume 4 is no different. I love the relationship of Nick and Charlie and the side characters also make the series. This one also explores the way that mental health can impact romance and it still does justice to the story and does not fall into cliches. I am eagerly anticipating the final volume but I don't want it to be over. The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott by Zoe Thorogood One of the last graphic novels I read this year and the one that has the second amount of hype, The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott also leaves a lasting impression. I love a good Briti

Book Review: The Great Godden by Meg Rossoff

* I am reviewing this book which I was gifted for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. * Title: The Great Godden Author: Meg Rossoff Publisher: Bloomsbury Source: NetGalley ( Bookshop UK | Hive | Goodreads | Storygraph ) Book Summary: Everyone talks about falling in love like it’s the most miraculous, life-changing thing in the world. Something happens, they say, and you know … That’s what happened when I met Kit Godden. I looked into his eyes and I knew. Only everyone else knew too. Everyone else felt exactly the same way. This is the story of one family, one dreamy summer – the summer when everything changes. In a holiday house by the sea, our watchful narrator sees everything, including many things they shouldn’t, as their brother and sisters, parents and older cousins fill hot days with wine and games and planning a wedding. Enter two brothers – irresistible, charming, languidly sexy Kit and surly, silent Hugo. Suddenly there’s
