Solomon Creed - LoveReading Review



Solomon Creed By Simon Toyne

Love reading book review

By Emily Griffiths

I am a reader who has to be hooked on the first page.

I had to manage to get past the first page of Solomon Creed and was starting to get into the book. However due to time constraints and other commitments I could not finish the book by the review dead line.

With what I have read so far I have found that the language used was very detailed and it was very well written.

The only thing I would criticise about the book was how each chapters started, as due to the number of characters involved in the plot it was a bit confusing of which chapter was referring to what character, If on the chapters page there was clarification of a name of a character I would have understood it a bit better.

However despite that point and not having the time to read it all before the due date I shall continue to read this book in my own time and to see if my perceptions change further down the line.

Back into the swing of things!



So Hello

Finally we have had a book club meeting at last. It has felt like a life time since having the last meeting. I have missed the fellow book clubbers and to make things more exciting we have got ourself a few new members.

And most important thing of all is that a book of my choice has actually been picked out to read! I've been waiting since the start of the book club for one of my choices to be picked. So I am so happy with this.

Let me give you a summary of what this book is about!


Limpet, Steffan and Jared. Three best friends crammed into a clapped-out rust bucket of a car on a whirlwind road trip to forget their troubles and see out the end of the summer. But no matter how far they drive, they can’t escape the hidden secrets and slow-burning romance that could upset the balance of their friendship – perhaps forever
Doesn't this sound exciting!

Grey -E.L.James review

Grey is the fourth book from El James and is about Christian and Anastasia relationship (fifty shades of grey) but from Christians point of view. It is good to read it from his point of view as you can see and understand partly why he was the way he was. Also you see that he loves her from the first time he sees her even though he doesn't realise this till the very end of the book. I loved reading this book and I sympathised with Christian and was eager to get to the end to see how it ended. I felt that by reading this I got to know the character of Christian a little but more. El James left it as a cliffhanger so I hope there is another.

This book is an amazing read and I give it 5***** I loved it and can't wait to see if there is another one. Sorry it's a short review but don't want to spoil it for those that haven't read the book yet.

The Secret Of Ella & Micha Review.

Hey everyone.

First of all, I would just like to apologise that it has taken me so long to do this review. I actually finished this book, maybe a week and a half ago, but I've been super busy. What with doing overtime at work, and then with my family being away in Spain (lucky buggers) I've had to house sit too.

In all of the chaos this week has bought me, I have finally found a perfect little moment, for me to chill out and do this review for you :)

So, if you read my review for 'The Coincidence of Callie & Kayden' then you will know that I fell in love with the author Jessica Sorensen. Straight after I had finished book one in the Callie and Kayden series, I picked up the first book in the Ella & Micha series.

This book was lovely. I already kinda thought I would like it, but I loved it, and it just made my love for Jessica Sorensen even stronger. I felt as though I could relate to these characters maybe a bit more than those in the Callie & Kayden series.

This story is about two best friends, Ella & Micha, who sadly have to part ways after a devastating event that occurs in their lives. However, they don't stay parted for long, as Ella soon has to come back to her hometown and has to face seeing him again. The book is about their constant battle, between being best friends, and being a little bit more than that. I loved the fact that they were both bad-asses, I loved the fact that we could tell they soo wanted each other, I loved the fact that in some pages, the sexual tension between them is almost unbearable. Now, please note that this is not an erotica novel, but it does have some saucy scenes in it. No-where near as bad as FSOG etc, but just enough to tell you, that this thing is serious!!

I really enjoyed this book, there isn't one thing I could fault about it & as soon as pay day rolls around, I shall be buying the rest of the series. In fact, I'm probably more excited about carrying on this series, than the Callie & Kayden series. Don't get me wrong, I loved both books immensely, but something about Ella & Micha drew me in.

I gave this book 4 stars on GoodReads.

Until next time,
Happy Reading!

My weight loss journey

Hi I'm Sarah and I thought I'd share with you my weight loss journey. As I said in a previous blog recently I'm trying to lose weight and it's hard I've only been at it two weeks so while I'm so early in to it why not share with you people and let you know how I'm doing. I guess I should start with why I'm doing this. 
I've always been a big girl, I love my food too much especially chocolate crisps and all things junk. I had a child n said I would lose weight after. My son is now 3 so as you can see from the date I'm writing this, that's not really happened. 
I was getting dressed one day and caught a glimpse of my self naked and I really didn't like what I saw so decided to do something about it . I joined a slimming world group and started to see what I ate wasn't good for me. I hate going into a shop and seeing all the amazing things I can't wear because they don't do my size, so I have a target and when I get there then I'm going to reward myself with new clothes. I'm currently a size 20/22 and am aiming for a size 14. I know I can do it I just have to have the willpower to do it. 
So since starting this group I have lost 4 pound now I know it's not much but a loss is still a loss. So every time I do something great or lose a bit I'm going to reward my self and keep motivated to do this.  If you have any ideas on how to keep motivated please share and I will keep you all updated ! Thanks for reading this. Sarah x 

Forever bound beauty!


Hey beautiful people,
As you may all know we originally started this blog purely for our love of book which we shall continue but as our love for beauty and fashion is just as equal we have decided we would share all our beauty trick and fashions finds along the way too. 
We are four girl of different ages who all have different taste in beauty and fashion as well as book.
Kind of like the spice girls, you see if we was the same it would be boring.

I'm Diana I would say my style is girly but with comfort , I like to look sassy and smart even tho I don't always , as I'm writing this I'm in bambi pj lol so SASSY . Navy is my go to colour when I'm out on the town with being more curvy i feel it suit me more and is a little different to the LBD . A blazer or leather jacket are my fAvorite fashion items. My  make up I keep very simple but I change my lipstick to whatever my mood is the darker it is the more attitude I have .

I'm Danielle & I like girly outfits, with a sometimes subtle hint of grunge mixed in there. My favourite combo at the minute is my pale blue ripped skinny jeans, with a grey top, thats long in length, but is also backless, paired with my heeled black boots that feature cut outs and gold buckles. Like Diana, I am also curvy, usually wearing a size 16 - 18,  but that wont stop me from wearing what I like! I was a self-taught / training make up artist. Day to day, at work etc, I wear very minimal make-up, but occasionally when I go for a meal, I'll go full hog, with the contoured face and falsies & that's pretty much my style!

Hey I am Emily, I would say I have a hipster and edgy style, as I do like my beanie hats and pumps but I also like girly stuff as well. My favourite fashion item at the moment would be playsuits, I just love them, they are good to wear in the summer weather but also they are great for night out outfits. In regards to make up I like to keep it simple but appropriate for all occasions, I really do love lipsticks and decent mascara. Most of my cosmetics are from Rimmel, I did try MAC foundation and that made me break out in so many spots,so I would say its not always about the cost it's about finding the make up that is suitable for your skin and more on the lines of quality. My fashion icons that I look up to at the moment are Kendal and Kyle Jenner.

Hi I'm Sarah, I don't really have a style or a look, you see I'm a big girl and I guess i just put on what ever is comfortable and don't bother with makeup. I'm a big girl and don't think anything would suit me or make me look better. So I am in the middle of losing weight and I know that once I get to a size I am happy with I know what I want my style to be, I want to wear vintage as I look at some of their clothes and fall in love, some of the vintage dresses out there are gorgeous and when I'm the right size I know I can pull it off and look good. As for make up if I do wear any I like Browns and nice colours that don't really stand out. 
So that's what I think I'd like my style to be.  

Anyway that's a little about us so until next time stay BEAUTIFUL x 

Diana beauty favourite at the moment


I decide I would show some of my new beauty faves.
First is these Rimmel London apocalips I have 3 matte shades and 1 normal .
Matte1: 206 atomic rose
Matte 2: 405 orange-ology
Matte 3: 505 burning lava 
Normal: 102 nova 
These have amazing lasting wear to them and the feel really nice one , not sticky and too make me fall in love with these even more is they only cost me 95p what a bloody bargain lol.
The last lip product I am loving is Rimmel London Kate moss lipstick 03 which is a beautiful nude. 
I have found an amazing new face cream Olay complete radiance illumination which is a moisturising lotion with light reflecting particles and with spf 15 I don't Have to worry about those beautiful sun rays hitting my face.i swear this has made my skin better I will even have no foundation day now !!! 

The next product I have been loving is this hair oil called Semi D Lino Diamond Cristalli Liquidi this is like a drink of water for your hair , it hydrates As well As bringing shine and heat protection. A must for those who have damage or naturally dry hair.

Another thing I've been loving is a free sample of Clinique high impact mascara this thing gives me volume and length and I love it! I'll defo be buying the full size when this one runs out.

The last beauty favourite and has been a favourite for a while is montage jennesse mask I love all of these. They are a great way to destresss and a lovely little treat for yours skin with some many to choose from they will defo have one for everyone.

Anyway I'll see you all soon 
Bye xx

"A Midsummers Nightmare"
By Kody Keplinger

Hey It's Emily here.

Today I have decided to write a blog post on my current read, which is a book called "A Midsummers Nightmare" and it's By Kody Keplinger.

I like any type of genres but one of my most favourites is chick flick. This book is a total chick flick, those who love chick flicks will definitely love this book. I would class this book as a great summer read.

Kody does an outstanding job in portraying the characters in the story plot and also how she writes the book, she does it in an easy and simple way. As soon as I picked up this book I was in love and was instantly hooked.

Okay so maybe you want to know what it is about.... well here is the blurb just for you...

"Whitley's dream summer of shopping, partying and tanning on the beach has just turned into a nightmare. Because her dad didn't tell her he doesn't live by the beach any more, or that he's got himself a fiancée, a fiancée whose son just happens to be what-his-name from last week's drunken graduation party hook up.  As if summer couldn't get worse. Dad seems to forget Whitley's even there. She doesn't fit in with his perfect new country club family and Whitley does what any girl lucky enough to go all summer unsupervised does: she parties hard. So hard that she doesn't even notice the good things right under her nose"

I suggest you go and read it!
Oh and just to add I had a tweet from the author! ;)

The Coincidence of Callie & Kayden.

Hey.

So about an hour ago, I finished one of the best reads I have had this year so far.

'The Coincidence of Callie & Kayden' by Jessica Sorensen is a romance novel, about two young adults who have had very difficult pasts, coincidentally meeting again when they realise they're at the same college.

This book is incredible. I fell in love with all of the main characters, they're so relatable & I felt really attatched to this story. I knew I was going to love this book, after only reading 17 pages and already feeling a part of their world. It's such a good read and I would recommend this book to people who like the authours Cora Carmack and Abbi Glines. I love the relationship between Callie & Kayden, I also love the reason why they end up seeing each other a bit more too. Their relationship is adorable and all the way through the book, I fell in love with them more and I was sceaming at them, through the pages to JUST GET TOGETHER!!

I'm not going to go into to much detail as I don't want to ruin the story, should you now want to read it, but it faces some very touchy subjects about abuse, which some people may find upsetting to read about.

The book was easy to read & easy to follow. I loved it! So much so, I'm going to order the second book in this series tonight.

Overall, I gave this book 4 stars on GoodReads. The reason it wasn't a full 5 was simply because, I felt like the ending was very sudden. You don't see it coming, so I wasn't very satisfied when I turned the page over to realise that it had ended! However this story is enthralling & I now have a new favourite authour to add onto my list.

Until next time,
Happy Reading.
Danielle.

Precocious by Joanna Barnard

Hey everyone.

So today I finished Precocious by Joanna Barnard. I was kindly sent this book by LoveReading to review. This book is out in the UK in July.

It's about a woman who fell in love with her high school teacher when she was just 14, and how they meet again later on in their lives, when she is married and he is single, and a steamy love affair begins. However don't be fooled into thinking that this book is an erotica novel, as it isn't. This book faces some very serious issues, which some people may find challenging to read, however,  I personally really enjoyed this book. I found the main lead very relatable, and I became emotionally attatched to her. The book was written incredibly well & I couldn't put it down towards the end. It was so different to what I had been expecting but in a rather good way & one thing that made me really happy, was how the novel ended, it was truly satisfying.

I rated this book 3 stars on GoodReads, as at times I did feel like I wouldn't enjoy it, but as I got deeper into the story, it grew and grew on me.

Until next time,
Happy Reading,
Danielle.

Why I like reading

Hi ! 
This is a different kind of blog, I was sat at home thinking about why I like reading and why I started reading. So I thought I'd share with you because haven't you at some point wondered why you like reading? 
I learnt to read at a very young age like we all do but then I started reading story books at around 6 years old, I loved reading all different stories about adventures and clubs and solving mysteries. I think my first proper favourite books were the secret seven and famous five by Enid blyton, I loved how they solved mysteries especially when they set up a cave as their den! How cool would that of been ? And then as I got older I started reading more bigger books like the goosebumps books and the R.L.Stein books. They were horror and I kinda liked the fact you wouldn't know what came next. At this point I loved reading because it was fun to find the mysteries or the horror. As I got into my late teens I started reading Mills and Boons and discovered I loved romance and happy endings, it was around this time I started reading because I loved being a part of the fiction world and forgetting everything around me. When I read nothing else matters and up to this day I still feel like that, I love imagining it is me that falls in love with the troubled and dark Mr Grey or it is me that designs a replica of The dress. 
So that's a brief few words about why I loved reading and still do. 
Thanks for reading and if you have any questions please feel free to comment.

Burn For Burn Review.

Hey guys.

So, I recently decided to join up to my local library. Why I hadn't done this earlier, I honestly don't know. I picked up three books in total & the first one I read was 'Burn for Burn' by Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian & oh my goodness, what a book. I was so happy that I picked up this gem.

It's about 3 girls who all meet under very upsetting circumstances, they become friends, they learn each others secrets, as any group of friends do. They also learn what circumstances bought them together & they decide to get revenge on those who have hurt them.

I read this book in 2 days as I simply couldn't put it down! It was one of the best young adult novels I have read recently. The story really gripped me & although the story presents itself from all of the 3 girls perspectives, which can sometimes become complicated, its a really easy book to follow. Its simple yet intruiging. I think its so relateable, it reminded me of myself as a teenager and the struggles of school, friendship circles and boys! I fell in love with the three girls and I felt like a part of their circle. I would definitely recommend this book, its certainly one that I will now be purchasing, I'll be sad to see it go back to the library.

Burn for Burn is book one in a trilogy. I will be purchasing the whole set, as I cannot wait to see what happens next (its left on a bit of a cliff hanger, eep!) I rated this book 4 stars :)

Until next time,
Happy Reading.
Danielle.

The Dress by Kate Kerrigan -review

This book is about a dress but not just any dress. It's called The Dress and was made in the 1950s but that's not how the story starts. A girl called Lily is a fashion blogger and loves all things vintage so when she comes across an article about The Dress she decides to make a replica. This story is about love and friendship and also clothes! It follows the story of the original dress and how it came to be but also follows Lilly and how she makes the replica.

I was a bit debious when I received this book but because I loved the cover I decided to give it a go. How right was I ! It is an amazing book and follows two different stories. That of Frank and Joy, and then Lilly.  The fact that Kate has written it in two different times is very good and it's like you are finding out about The Dress from two different people. Reading this has made me think about clothes differently and made me want to look back at the clothes ladies wore in the fifties. It is an amazing story about not only clothes but love and all the happy little things that go with love. 

A book defiantly worth reading. 
5 stars

Review on 'To all the boys I've loved before'

This book is about a girl who has had a few crushes on five boys, one of whom she loves and after each one of her crushes ends she writes a letter saying goodbye but doesn't post them as they are for her as a way of moving on. She keeps them in a hat box hidden away. Suddenly one day they get posted to all the boys and then her life gets turned upside down. Some of the boys who gets a letter confront her and along the way one of them becomes her "boyfriend". She wants to make the boy she thinks she loves jealous and to her confusion she falls in love with the boy she is dating. She realises she doesn't love the other boy and tries to win the heart of the boy she loves. 

I really liked this book and was glad I purchased it. I enjoyed reading the letters and seeing how Lara wrote them. You could see they were meant for her eyes only as they were written like she was speaking to them. I loved that she was such a soulful character that took on the role of big sister and looked after kitty. The character of Josh was brilliant and I was really rooting for him and Lara to get together so when she started falling for Peter I was surprised. It was a match I didn't see coming and was glad Jenny did it that way. Jenny really wrote an amazing book and left me wanting to read more. I hope she carries this one on so you can see if the other boy got the letter. I liked how Jenny added really life parts in like the game of thrones character part, where josh States he wanted to be drogo. I also liked that Lara friend Chris' mum was part of a book club. It made me relate to me as I am into both those things and so was happy . I recommend this book to anyone who has been in love and wrote letters, I for one love writing letters and would often write them to my boyfriends. I gave this book 5*****. Well done Jenny!

You me and others by Fionnuala Kearney

I totally loved this book. It is about secrets, lies, trust and learning to move on. I'll write the blurb below so you get a summary of the book without me telling you about it. 

They say every family has skeletons in their closet.... 
But what happens when you open the door and they won't stop tumbling out ?
For Adam and Beth the first secret wasn't the last, it was just the beginning. 
You think you can imagine the worst thing that could happen to your family,but there are some secrets that change everything. 
And then the question is, how can you piece together a future when your past is being rewritten?

I loved how Fionnuala writes this story and I was gripped from the very beginning, I loved how she portrayed Adam and Beth, it's amazing from the beginning to the very end and you are left wondering after each chapter what will happen next. Beth is a fragile woman at the beginning but the more you read you see her getting stronger. 

As an overall I loved this book and can't wait to read more by Fionnuala !

Why I didn't like gone girl -Sarah

This is about why I don't like gone girl, it's not a bad review as I don't want to put people off reading it. I just couldn't get into it as I didn't like the way it was written he says then she writes in her diary, if gillian had started the woman's parts like he did I may have read it but I couldn't get the diary bit but when I watched the film I saw why the author did it how she did. The film was weird but good so I've decided not to entirely cast the book as a never to be read book so I will try and read it again now having a different view on how Gillian wrote it. I hope I haven't put you off the book I just wanted to give you my view on why I haven't read it yet. Thanks for reading .

Emily's Books Soon to Read

 
 
Emily's Choices
 
Here is some of the books that I am wanting to read soon.
 
 
 
1) Rain Girl by Gabi Kreslehner - I have chosen this book as I picked it as a choice at the book club however it did not get picked so I thought I would read it on my own accord.

Here is the blurb:
Veteran homicide detective Franza Oberwieser prefers her job in the winter. Summer is for growing, not for dying. So when the body of a beautiful young woman is found on the autobahn, dressed in a glittering party dress and bathed in June rain, Franza is determined to give her justice.
Revealing victims’ hidden lives is part of the job, but as Franza and her partner, Felix, peel back the layers shrouding the girl’s disturbing past, darker mysteries emerge. Everyone has something to hide—even Franza, who must face her own secrets to reveal the truth.
 


2) Still Alice by Lisa Genova - I have chosen to read this book as everyone is on about how good it is and the story plot fascinates me as I have got a personal interest into mental health and this book is all about that as it focuses on her memory.

Here is the blurb:

Alice Howland is proud of the life she worked so hard to build. At fifty, she's a cognitive psychology professor at Harvard and a renowned expert in linguistics, with a successful husband and three grown children. When she begins to grow forgetful and disoriented, she dismisses it for as long as she can until a tragic diagnosis changes her life - and her relationship with her family and the world around her - for ever.

Unable to care for herself, Alice struggles to find meaning and purpose as her concept of self gradually slips away. But Alice is a remarkable woman, and her family learn more about her and each other in their quest to hold on to the Alice they know. Her memory hanging by a frayed thread, she is living in the moment, living for each day. But she is still Alice.
 
 
 
3) Regarding Anna by Florence Osmund - I have chosen this book because it has got an hard hitting story plot which will fascinate me and intrigue me to want to read more. Due to the plot the emotion that will surround it will be vast and deep which I love, as I love books that show true emotion.
 
Here's the blurb:
Things that happen to you in the past can mold you into someone you’re not.

After recovering from the shock of her parents perishing in a tragic accident, Grace Lindroth discovers clues in their attic that cause her to believe the people she called Mom and Dad her whole life may not have been her real parents.

In her search for the truth, Grace encounters people whose actions cause her to be distrustful of just about everyone, making her mission that much more difficult but heightening her determination to uncover what she believes is essential for her to go on with her life.
Well that is all my choices for now - will keep you posted when I have read these books.


 

 

Sarah's books to be read soon

The books I want to read next are the ones below : respect by mandasue heller, little women by Louisa m.alcott and Kane and Abel by Jeffrey archer. 

First I'll explain about my first book , I've always loved crime and when I came across this one I knew I wanted to read it. I've since collected her other books but not read any yet as I've been reading other books. I'll paste a brief summary incase you decide you want to read it,

Chantelle has everything going against her. She's a good student who only wants to pass her exams and find a way out of the sink estate in Manchester where she grew up. But now her feckless mother has taken off for Spain with her latest boyfriend and she's single-handedly raising her tearaway nine-year-old brother Leon. She thinks her worst problem is the debt collectors at the door. But Leon has made some new friends: teenage gang members who have given him a mobile phone, a knife - and some drugs to hide in her flat.
A part-time job seems to be the answer to Chantelle's prayers. But the violence is about to come home to her - with a vengeance. And the only person who's offering any help seems to be just as bad as the people she's trying to escape from . . .

So as you can see its a good book!

Next is little women and normally I don't read books based in old times but I've always wanted to read it and from the picture you can see I've started it but then I had my book club books to read so stopped, below is a brief description. 

Classic novel of 19th-century family life during and after the Civil War, in a household with four sisters. Alcott based the March family largely on her own real-life family.

It doesn't give much away but that's the mystery of the book, you don't know what to expect. 

Lastly my third book is a book I started but then lost the book and only got it back as a Christmas present. I wouldn't normally read Jeffrey archer but a former book clubber recommended it so I thought I'll give it a try and it's one of those that looks good and from what I've read so far was good but till I pick it back up I'll not know! 

Born on the same day near the turn of the century on opposite sides of the world, both men are brought together by fate and the quest of a dream. These two men -- ambitious, powerful, ruthless -- are locked in a relentless struggle to build an empire, fuelled by their all-consuming hatred. Over 60 years and three generations, through war, marriage, fortune, and disaster, Kane and Abel battle for the success and triumph that only one man can have.

That is all three of my books and once I've read them I'll review them, hope you enjoyed reading this blog and maybe you decided to read one of these yourself!! 


Diana to be read soon books!


So here is a picture of my what I most wanna read soon, I have so many book I haven't read that I'm gonna try do a post like this every month to get me to read other book and not just the new one in my collection. 

First we have The longest ride by Nicholas Sparks personally I've never read any of Nicholas book , I've watched and loved most of the films from his book so I'm gonna give this a go and see  if he end up being one of my favourite author , I know he is Emily favourite so I'm sure he gonna end up being one of mine as we have similar taste in books . 

Secondly I have Girl online by Zoe Sugg , which appeals to me not only by the way it is written with text emails and blog post in it which always keeps me happy in a book but by the way it hilights panic attack and feeling not normal when suffering from anxiety which most people do suffer with these days . 
And thirdly I have Yours truly by Kirsty Greenwood , the plot of this book is amazing. It is about a girl that get hypnotised at her local pub and now can't tell white lie and we'll let be honest we all tell little white lie at time and the fort of not being able to would certainly get me into some hot mess lol! 
So these are my to be read books I hope you enjoyed this post I'll be reviewing these books as soon as they have been read. 
Thanks and keep reading.

Second Chance by Natasha Preston review.

Well what can I say about the amazing book apart from I was hooked the second I read it. 
I have read a couple of Natasha book before and always loved the way they are written and how easy you fall in love with each and every character. 
This book definitely has twist in it . 
I'm gonna paste the description below and then tell you what I rate it , why I love it so much and hopefully persuade you to go read it . 


Everyone deserves a second chance at happiness, and three years after Chloe Holland’s boyfriend dies in a bomb attack in London, she’s ready to move on. That is until the one person she can see herself moving forward with is the worst person she could ever imagine.


Logan Scott was the one Chloe turned to when Jace died, but she never imagined becoming close to him would leave her with the biggest dilemma she's ever faced. He makes her question everything. She makes him a better person. They push the limit of right and wrong.


Unfortunately, Chloe and Logan are perfect for each other.

I rated this book on good reads a five star and I truly believe it deserves that. 
The way the plot is written and the way Chloe and Logan love develops is beautiful. I can totally understand how hard it must of been to fall in love with your dead ex's brother . How his inner family handle there realtionship was really well , his outer family handle it not so well which is also very believe able . 
I truly recommend reading this book .
It only took me two day to read . 
 
Thanks and keep reading.

About Danielle.

Hey. 

My names Danielle & I'm also a member of the Forever Bound Book Club. So here's a little information about me for you guys. 

The first thing I learnt to do as a child, was to read. There are home videos of me from as little as 2 years old, holding & trying to read. At school, my reading advanced quickly & by the age of 13 I was hooked on books. 

I started to buy books, mainly crime & thrillers and now at the age of 22, I will read pretty much anything. From crime, to romance, from dystopian to fantasy. I will try anything once! 

I love reading and try and read as much as possible. I take my Kindle with me everywhere (even though I do prefer books!) & there's nothing more relaxing than having a bath, with a cup of tea and a good read. 

The book club is a great way for friends to come and gather to talk about something we all have in common, and we all love. It's a lovely, happy atmosphere and there's always plenty of giggles. It's a really fun few hours & it's great to know I'm not boring people with my obsession for reading. 

So, a little more about me quickly, as I said previously I'm 22, I currently live in Hinckley. I work for a company called The Works (whom sell books, not so good for my wages!) I have an amazing partner (who had never read a book before, but that has now changed & he's on his third book, lol!) I live with my mum, dad & sister who are also readers. I think that's all the info you need to know about me for now! 

Take care & speak soon book lovers.

About Emily

 
 
 
Me Me Me!
 


Hey I'm Emily. I would class myself as a book worm.
I love to read, it's been one of my passions since I was a child.

Reading for me is like an escape, you can enter a world that is fantasy and live it how you want to live it and you can bring characters to life.
 
One of my favourite authors is Nicholas Sparks. He has written so many books, out of the ones I have read so far they are so easy to get into, also not to mention most of them have been made into films, which is great.

So that's a little bit about me. I shall post reviews and updates in the near future.
Keep reading and keep in touch.

Hey, my name Diana and my love for books been getting bigger and bigger each year . The more book I read the more I fall in love with the book world . The way you can feel emotion toward a character overwhelms me . I truly love the feeling of a book and especially a series of book of course until it end and then that quite disappointing . 
In my spare time I split it between reading watching series and spending time with family and friends . 
I only started loving book from the age of about 18 , with always struggling to read and write at school it always put me off but now I'm older I just take my time and as long as the book has a good storyline I'm okay .
Anyway I'll leave it at that . I'm gonna start reviewing books I've read and hauling ones I've brought so you will be seeing or should I say reading a lot more from me .

About Sarah x

Hi I'm Sarah and this is a little about me and the things I like ! 
I have a little boy who I adore enderlessly and spend most of my time with, we are both into our books and although Kaiden  can't read properly he loves looking at them or me reading to him. 
Right about the many books I like ! 

I am into most books varying from romance to chick lit to mc books (for those that don't know what mc is its biker books with bad boys in!!) 
I love reading and have over 500 books on book and kindle format. 
My fave authors are lili St germain and callie hart, they both write bad boy books and they are written really well. There are some books that I wouldn't read which are war books or books wrote in the 1800 or below but I Have recently tried one and enjoyed it so I am slowly getting in to the idea of trying them. 

I like collecting series and have quite a few such as the James pattinson series and the Sylvia day series. 

My pet hate when it comes to books is when authors have a lot of books out and then they are published all different sizes ! They don't look right on my shelf - which makes them look out of place!! 

I'll leave it at that and if you have any suggestions on books to read please leave a blog ! 

Sunday 25 January 2015

Once upon a time there was a group called forever bound , we all loved to read and share our thoughts on each book we read together . But with our busy  Schedule sometime reading the whole book was too much and we just couldn't find time to fall in love with the characters . So they decided they needed a way to be able to talk about the books with those that hadn't read the book and that's is when they had this most magical Idea to start a BLOG !
