#Book Review 15 Winter Ghost.

Hello World.


It has become that time of year where I really enjoy the cold. Most importantly curling up and sitting with a book that is based around winter. 
Winter Ghost by Kate Mosse seemed right up my street. A book about snow and ghosts, I'm there. 

So Winter Ghost, is about a man who has lost someone very dear to him. He travels through the higher levels of France and comes across a remote town there. This is where he meets a woman during a holiday feast, they spend the whole night talking lost and grieving. When he wakes up she is gone and has no idea where she could be. Here comes a small adventure, hiking into mountains, into a cave where he find the young woman and the history behind it all.

If many of you guys was into Ghost Whisperer, then this is a book for you. I personally love a good little spirit story, where they send you messages in hope you will find out about their history and finding out what truly happened to them. It's the mystery inside the book that kept me turning every page. 

So a little review for you people this evening, whilst I hide in my house from the big winds in Britain.
Keep it safe world.

#BookReview 14 All The Bright Places.

Hello World,

I found out about this book through the Vlogger/Blogger Zoella. It was a book she had read and recommended through a favourite video. I watched the video and thought it sounded like a good book that would be easy to read and not overly enjoy. 


Oh boy, was I wrong..

All the bright places is about two characters who meet in an unlikely place and both develop a friendship through a geography project. Theodore (kudos to the name btw) has always shown an interest to killing himself and plans many ways to kill himself. Violet, believed she had it all. Popularity, friendships, boyfriend and an amazing sister. Until one day she loses her sister and she loses herself to grief. They meet on top of a bell tower and there begins the unlikely friendship between the two characters.


Reason why I loved this book. One: it really was an easy read. Two: it really was extremely gripping, I was immediately absorbed into this book. Drifting away into the world of the two characters. I was gripped into their lives and felt bonded with them. Yes, I did get emotionally attached to the characters like I always do when I read a book or watch a film. So it is not surprising that in the end I was drawn to tears. 

It's very rare to read a book that is very easy to read and completely captures your whole attention. I really did struggle to put it down. I was also woken up, after reading that book I felt inspired to get out there live a little more with a few more adventures and to keep trying to be more happy.

NB: I am currently feeling as I haven't done much from that new inspiration to live a happier life and to work. But then again, it only has been a couple of months since reading the book and these things take time and hard work. Which I am working on.

Believing.

Hello World,

Letter to October, started of amazing but unfortunately I lost touch. 


You can go far,
If you believe in yourself
To fly

I can try and call this a small come back into the writing world and into the Blogging World.
It's been a couple of weeks, that I wish I never had. I have always been wanting to write and been wanting to write on this page. Sadly though, emotions has gotten into the way. I suppose you can say, negativity has invaded my mind and has decided that everything and everyone is evil. I'm not even trying to put all the blame on me, I have been surrounded by negative people and it is hard to live with your life when they are constantly putting you down. It had me believing, that I am not even worth the time. 

So, I have been trying to make myself remember the positives. Turning on the light and start believing in myself to work hard at the dreams I want to achieve. #goodluck
