Hello everyone!  I know it has been awhile :(  I went to Japan! My plan was to post while I was over there, but I went to Japan with school and it honestly just wasn't possible without driving myself crazy. I do this for fun, not as a chore so I wanted to keep it that way! I hopefully will get back into the rhythm of things soon and will be posting often and catching up on what I missed :) My time in Japan was amazing though, everyday was filled with something new and I had a ball.  I went to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and it was the most amazing experience I have ever had! I also bought some cute bookmarks which you can see on my instagram  here.

But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight.

Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he’s been emailing, will be compromised. With some messy dynamics emerging in his once tight-knit group of friends, and his email correspondence with Blue growing more flirtatious every day, Simon’s junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated. Now, change-averse Simon has to find a way to step out of his comfort zo...

Carlisle Cullen : Twilight I love Carlisle's history and how he came to be and I enjoyed learning about the history of how he became a "father" to all of the Cullen children. His story is interesting and the role he plays towards everyone is inspiring and I just love his character! 4. Lola's Dad's (Names Unknown) : Lola and the Boy Next Door  Although we do not know their names or very much of their background, we know they are awesome.

This book tag was created by the wonderful Hailey at  Hails Hearts NYC . She is by far my favourite booktuber! You should defiantly check her youtube out! I absolutely loved the idea of this tag as I play sims and it was just so creative! THE SIMS BOOK TAG 1. The original Sims: the best author debut. City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare. Her first published novel that was brilliant and has now turned into something huge and amazing! 2. The grim reaper: the saddest character death. No spoiling here, but someone from either Harry Potter or The Hunger Games. 3. Sims getting stuck: a character that just got in the way. I couldn't really think of a character for this one as I believe all charcters have a purpose in all books and even if they are just "filler" characters than that is there purpose. I don't think I have ever read a book and have thought that this particular character shouldn't have been in it. 4. Simlish: a book wi...

Happy Wednesday! This week's topics is: Favourite Character Names If you want to know everything about this T5W, you can  click on this   amazing link which will take you to Goodreads.   T5W was created by Lainey but is now managed by Samantha! 5. Sebastian - The Mortal Instruments Sebastian's character is a brilliantly amazing creation by Cassandra Clare, but his name is one that I love! I just adore the name Sebastian (even though it isn't his real name). I just feel attached to this name and it adds more intrigue to his persona.  4. Jem - The Infernal Devices Yes it is another Shadowhunter book and I am not even sorry because Jem is a very creative name and just quite pleasing to hear. I love the sound of the name and Jem as a character makes me even fonder of the name. 3. Kai - The Lunar Chronicles  Not only is Kai a cute 3 lettered name, but I feel as though the name suits him fantastically and describes him and his ...
