Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone-A Book Review||❤

Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone
By J.K Rowling
Publication Date: June 30th 1997
Rating: 5 stars

Harry Potter thinks he is an ordinary boy - until he is rescued by an owl, taken to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, learns to play Quidditch and does battle in a deadly duel. The Reason: HARRY POTTER IS A WIZARD!

My Thoughts

This series is probably the first series I ever got into when I was in primary school. I was suddenly plunged into a world of Quiditch, spells and Draco Malfoy (swoons). This book made my imagination go wild and I started to believe that there was a different place where magic was real. Sadly, I didn't get my Hogwarts acceptance letter and didn't get to explore Diagon Alley (sobs to myself) but I do vow that in another life, if there is another, I will get my way through there and marry Malfoy!!

What I love about this book is that it is different. Who would've thought about such a cool concept and I love how we follow Harry and his friends through the whole year and as soon as it finishes you want another to carry on straight away and grab the next book. Each page has you hanging on every single line. It is not over complicated that you have to keep on raking in your head what happened in the page before, it isn't horribly written that is is driving you to chuck the book across the room and scream 'I give up' (naming no names *cough* Allegiant *cough*)  and not boring that I'm skimming past to find something interesting. Also, it has a hat which sings every single year (only in the books so you HAVE to read them!)

Overall, I do think you should read this book as it is mystical, magical and a hell load of fun! And to end to congratulate the author for such fabulous books........ TEN POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR!

Duplicity 

By N.K Traver

Publication Date: March 17th 2015

In private, seventeen-year-old Brandon hacks bank accounts just for the thrill of it. In public, he looks like any other tattooed bad boy with a fast car and devil-may-care attitude. He should know: he’s worked hard to maintain that façade. With inattentive parents who move constantly from city to city, he’s learned not to get tangled up in things like friends and relationships. So he’ll just keep living like a machine, all gears and wires.

Then two things shatter his carefully-built image: Emma, the kind, stubborn girl who insists on looking beneath the surface – and the small matter of a mirror reflection that starts moving by itself. Not only does Brandon’s reflection have a mind of its own, but it seems to be grooming him for something—washing the dye from his hair, yanking out his piercings, swapping his black shirts for … pastels. Then it tells him: it thinks it can live his life better, and it’s preparing to trade places.

And when it pulls Brandon through the looking-glass, not only will he need all his ill-gotten hacking skills to escape, but he’s going to have to face some hard truths about who he’s become. Otherwise he’ll be stuck in a digital hell until he’s old and gray, and no one will even know he's gone.

Why Am I Waiting This Wednesday?

Hold up, I think I just found a new book boyfriend to add to my list. He is a tattooed bad boy who hacks computers and drives fast boys. I'm in! There is a chance of him turning to his good side and that does make my heart swoon!

What are you waiting on?

Insurgent Trailer!||❤

The Insurgent Trailer has finally come out!! But....wait for it.....I found it boring. I thought that some parts of the trailer weren't actually in the book from what I remember. Also, I thought things were over dramatised that it actually was hilarious. COME ON TOBIAS YOU COULD'VE WAITED FOR THE TRAIN TO GO PAST!  

I won't lie but I am genuinely excited for this one. I hope it isn't as horrible as the book was. I have kind of high hopes for this film. I at first thought that the clip in the trailer when Tris is jumping off the building was a troll but nope, it is actually in the film. I don't really think I can take that part seriously!

Do you like the Divergent Series?

Zoella's Ghostwritten Book-My Opinion||❤

Hi guys,
So today I decided to talk about a topic which has been the talk on twitter and in the newspapers recently. We were all quite shocked when we found out that Zoella's book was actually ghostwritten. It caused rage and hate which was very much uneeded for. In my honest opinion I don't really mind it was ghost written it is not like it is uncommon to get help to write the book. At least it involved all of her ideas and maybe she just needed help because of her busy schedule to finish the book up.

I do not think I can judge Zoe in anyway possible as I have not read the book myself so I wouldn't know if the book actually 'screams ghostwritten.' What was the most interesting part about this was that people were enraged due to the fact that she didn't actually admit it herself (not entirely sure if she said so or not) and they expected her to have so much time in her hands to keep track of her youtube, beauty range and blog. I do think that people were overreacting to this completely and acted like Zoe didn't think of any of the characters or ideas. We all know the book is based on her blogging career and her personality but she did put a twist to it. There is nothing wrong with having your book ghostwritten as it has happened so many times before and isn't alien to any of us but as soon as Zoe's book is revealed to be ghostwritten then World War 3 started on twitter!

Although it isn't illegal to not mention or give credit to the ghostwriter, I do think that at least somewhere where the copyright part of the book is then maybe in tiny writing it should say their name and what they have helped to do. One ridiculous thing which did make me laugh was that somepeople wanted the ghostwriter's name plastered at the front of the book with the authors one!

What is your view on this?

The Start Of Me and You

By Emery Lord

Publication Date: 31st March 2015

It’s been a year since it happened—when Paige Hancock’s first boyfriend died in an accident. After shutting out the world for a year, Paige is finally ready for a second chance at high school . . . and she has a plan. First: Get her old crush, Ryan Chase, to date her—the perfect way to convince everyone she’s back to normal. Next: Join a club—simple, it’s high school after all. But when Ryan’s sweet, nerdy cousin, Max, moves to town and recruits Paige for the Quiz Bowl team (of all things!) her perfect plan is thrown for a serious loop. Will Paige be able to face her fears and finally open herself up to the life she was meant to live?

Brimming with heartfelt relationships and authentic high-school dynamics The Start of Me and You proves that it’s never too late for second chances.
