Hello internet! It's been a while since I uploaded a new blog post but I have been holidaying...attempting to get a tan (although no luck) hence the lack of bloggy things. However, in my time away I discovered a couple of pretty wholesome things which I would love to share with you all. I present to you the list of awesome things I have stumbled across in the month of February: 1. An online book blog thing called 'Epic Reads'. They review YA fiction, interview authors and editors and make rather hilarious and true videos about book nerd problems (holla all of those who can relate). You should totally check them out if you are into YA (young adult for the newbies) fiction and/or anything bookish. Click here. 2. Twinings Green Tea with Grapefruit and Pineapple. I am being honest when I say I think I have gone through about 3 boxes of this stuff. Question - is it weird I keep a teabag of this in my handbag...or is that completely normal? Comment below with your thoughts. 3. Hozier. Sweet baby cheeses. This man has got to be one of the best musicians of our time. Yes, that's a big statement and I'm sticking to it. Beautifully crafted melodies accompanied by raw and honest lyrics (not to mention his unique and distinctive vocal stylings) Hozier is definitely one of my favourite artists at the moment. If you don't believe me just listen to this...you can thank me later. 3. A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray. Calling all YA fans!! I picked up this book at my local library after hearing all the buzz about it through the Booktube sphere..and now I understand why. The story is based on the idea that there are an infinite amount of universes and from the very first decision we make in our lives the universe splits (bare with me...it gets easier to understand). From every decision we make from then on there are 2 possible pathways to follow and hence more and more parallel universes come to be...like a tree branch that keeps expanding. This story follows Marguerite, the daughter of two physicists who have created a device which allows you to jump between these parallel universes and inhabit yourself in an alternate universe. Pretty cool huh? We quickly come to find out that Marguerite's father has been murdered and the device stolen and all the evidence points to their young (brooding and mysterious) research assistant...also known as Paul. Determined to avenge her fathers death, Marguerite with the help of a fellow research assistant chase Paul through these parallel universes only for Marguerite to discover much more than she ever thought she would. This book is the first in a trilogy and I can't wait for the next one to be released!! That's all folks! Stay tuned for new children's book reviews as there will be plenty coming your way in the month of February. xx Ps. Let me know if you would like a book review on 'A Thousand Pieces of You' by Claudia Gray.
