On the other side: by Carrie Hope Fletcher,#bookreview

Hello World,

Another book review from another book. I've actually read three other books from my last book review to this book review. Due to being lazy and not actually writing a review for them, they will be forgotten. I will however let you know the books and a brief yes I liked them or no.

Insurgent; Veronica Roth: Yes, I liked it and it was a quick read.
One Night Markovitch; Ayelet Gundar-Goshen: The story I found far to long and completely not what I was expecting after reading the back. But the writing style is beautiful it is quite poetic and just lovely to read.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child; J.K.Rowling and two other dudes, I can't remember the name and I am really sorry about that: There was too many emotions going on in one day when I read this book and by far it was difficult. 



Carrie Fletcher, is an actress, singer and Vlogger. I found her through YouTube ages ago and still call myself a fan. When she announced she was releasing a book based around her Blogging days. Does she still write on her blog? I never shown interest; One: I didn't know she had a blog and never really looked in it. Two: I really wasn't interested as it was around the beginning of dawn of everyone releasing books.
My opinion of people on YouTube and having the opportunity on having a book published went straight to the grave after reading Zoe Suggs first book Girl Online. You can read the review here. 

However, as soon as I heard Carrie was writing a fictional book and was having it published I immediately grew excited. I've always felt Carrie and I had similar taste and style in life, which is why I grew to be a fan. When I got my copy of the book, I was excited. The covers look beautiful, exactly the type of book I would want to stand proudly on my bookcase. 
The story inside, Carrie really did not disappoint me. I was surprised by the way the story had taken and also besotted by the characters. I enjoy books where you can connect with the characters and I really did with Evie Snow and Vincent Winters. I enjoyed reading the way Carrie allowed their relationship bloom and the way she made it into a fairy tale. In this book, you had magic, you had the wicked evil mother and a slight happy ending. It reminded me of The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, where the female gave up their happy endings for the sake of others. Please Note; that when I say these stories I mean the original fairy tale stories and not the sugar coated Disney versions. Although I am a Disney fan, so no hate there please.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good fairy tale and romance story.

Hello August, 

Today I finally opened my laptop, 
Only because I want to show you and the world that I finally was able to open my art pad and finally do something I loved and missed.
Painting is something I can call a form of meditation for me.
So, like everyone August they caught up in the reality of things and find themselves procrastinating from doing something, the love or hate, just anything. 
We forget who we are.


August, here is a few pictures I've done. Albeit a little rusty.

Hello August.

Hello August, 

Today I had a day where I could disappear from reality altogether. 

I finally had a day and no other reads, to sit and revisit my childhood. 

Today I read the new Harry Potter book. 

And as everyone will know, my Harry Potter fandom started when I was eleven years old.

August, Harry just made my emotion go crazy, there was tears, laughter, shock and so much more. I was sad to be reading this book. I was happy to be reading this. 

August, with your blustery winds and warm sunshine, I did what I did best. I read until the very end. 

Some people will call it a waste of a day. I can't call it that August, for I just lived years within a book, a story I thought had ended. 

Claire. 

August...

Hello August, 

I've never paid much heed to you,

Mainly because everyone enjoys yours company through summer days and holidays. 

Whereas I still hide behind bars of the working life. 

Today August you embraced us with needed rain and soaking our souls with a cooler air after July baked us in stuffy conditions. 

I will make an effort August to admire the beautiful nature that is in full bloom.  Before September becomes Autumn and the colours all change. 

I tend to love the orange of Autumn that I forget the beauty you provide us August. I forget the green in the leaves and the blue skies that sometimes comes. I forget the sounds of birds or chirping bugs. 

I'll remember this time August. I'll admire you more. 

Claire.
