I thought I would do something a little different again, seeing as I'm in a bit of a reading slump at the moment and finding it quite hard to finish my current read. Until that time I'm going to be doing little things like these just to fill in the gaps! Here are some of my cute little quotes that i found on We Heart It !!!

Title: Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief Author:  Rick Riordan  Series or Standalone:  Series Genre: Young-adult Fantasy Format:  Paperback Publication Date:  January 1st 2005 Goodreads Summary: Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a greek god. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. Now I spend my time battling monsters and generally trying to stay alive. This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea. My Review: If you know me, you know how much I love my Greek Mythology and  this book just made me love it even more.  I enjoyed the whole concept of Camp Half Blood, which is the Camp that all Demi-Gods can go to to escape all of the monsters in the real world.  Rick's writing was very...

Title: Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children  Author:  Ransom Riggs Series or Standalone: Series  Genre: Young-adult fiction, dark fantasy Format:  Paperback Publication Date: June 7th 2011 Goodreads Summary: A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of curious photographs. A horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive. My Review: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was a very enjoyable read. I decided to read this book because it had been sitting on my shelf for a ve...

Hi everyone, today I thought I would do something a little different seeing as I haven't completed a book in awhile and I want to still keep posting here! I'm going to be sharing with you how I personally create my layout for a book review! First thing I do is pick up a book that I am keen to read or a book that I need to read for review or school. As I read, I will either make note of something I like or dislike in my review notebook or/and I will tab a quote or saying with a sticker that I find intriguing or amusing. After I finish the book I will then go on to my laptop and open up a new post for my blog and get everything I would like to include in the post before I write my review, like so: Title:  Author:   Series or Standalone:   Genre:  Format:   Publication Date: When I finish researching all of the following, I will then look up the Goodreads summary and insert that as well. I then gather all my notes I...
