Why I Read

welcome,
today I'm going to be talking about books.
lots and lots of book.
now listen, I know I said I wouldn't do anything basic like top-10-books or anything like that, and I'm not this blog is about why its important to read and how it's really helped me and yes i will be talking about some of my favirite books but there not books life girl online or everything, everything (both good books but not great.)
so, why is it important to reed.
in primary school, i had really bad spelling disclecsea with pretty much everything but what i always got wrong was my bs and ds. I was in a lot of extra help groups but they never helped. and now i know why . i didnt want to know what it was. as in when someone told me it was the wrong I would just say oh well no one cares or so? i could not be told anythng. i was a very stubborn child.
then there was high school. I had to learn to spell, i knew it but i didnt want to. so the summer holidays before school started i ordered about 12 books of amazon and challenged myself to reed them all before school started. and so it began. i finished them all in 2 weeks and damanded more, i was obsessed! weather it was the smell, the ideas or  the motovation it gave me, i loved it. Every single part of it. so after that, i started to delve into the authours reading there books then there friends then there sequels. soon i started joining online book cluds for free and seeing what they had to offer. when school started i had reed  over 25 books that summer; thats alot for 6 weeks!

after that, i found the love of my life; charity shops. there i found old books new books brand new books and scruffy books as well as loads of hidden treasures. And i was helping a cause so it was great! in two years ive built up quiet the collection. from reading 1 book a mounth to 2-3 a week.

then i started to see it, my spelling was getting better, much better!
it carried on like this for a while until, i got instagram.
i started carring about comments, likes and followers more than my love for reeding and this blog.
you know how i took 2 mounths off writing? that was because of instagram. okay, i didnt stop reeding completly but i started reeding books that just were not on my level. not that i was a genius but i was better than the shopoholic series. (what i was reeding)

about a mounth later i did a horrible thing to a friend and got my phone and instagram taken away well i took them away from myself and brought a nokia brick. then i went on holiday with my family and thats when i got back into reeding. without instagram and my phone, i had nothing else to do but read. That holiday i reed some of the best books ever;

-love Simon
-leah on the offbeat
-the upside of unrequited
-the murder on the orient express
-little woman
-13 minutes
-turtles all the way down

if that list looks like a little too much I recommend just reading 13 minutes and turtles all the way down


since then, I've not stopped reading. at the moment I'm reading miss Ps home for peculiar children and after that, I'm reading the perks of being a wallflower.
you can find all these books on Amazon.

please share this blog with anyone struggling with spelling.

so, next time your watching youtube for 10 hours straight, wander over to that untouched bookshelf of yours. 

see you monday,
                                   girl with thoughts

7 Songs that...

snow-dance-alana-tousignant.jpg (900×675) (fineartamerica.com) Dear Reader,  This is a book blog, with a strange amount of Taylor Swift references sure, but a book blog still.  Today, I choose to write about music!  These songs, the 7 favourites and 3 honourable mentions I have picked are unexplainably attached to my mind. In this blog, I try to explain.  Let's get started:  1. "Heroes" by David Bowie  Despite my adoration of Bowie, who I own 1/2 of his discography on vinyl,  several vintage collectors magazines of, and 4 thrifted posters hung up in my room of- my attachment to this song, funnily enough sprung from my love of a book- so I would say is a great number one for easing my regular readers into this change of brand (don't worry this is a one time thing). To those who have digested the novel/film: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, you will know the scene where these characters, some of my all time favourites, drive through a ...

Just for December by Laura Jane Williams

Just for December by Laura Jane Williams: review Dear reader,  To Start with, thank you so much for the lovely girls at Avon Harper Collins for gifting me this proof around the holidays! This book was absolutely delightful, and extremely well timed. I cracked open this book on the same day the skies decided to comply with Michael Bublé and while it might not be a white Christmas, as the rain seems to have washed it away now, it made to be pretty idyllic conditions to read this book. I went into this book feeling festive and ready for something to give me all the fuzzy Christmas feelings, which it provided along with a lot more feelings than I predicted. Williams manages to craft cliches and worn-out tropes to make them seem like nothing of the sort and in fact- revive them. Enemies to lovers has not been done so humanly in a very long time, and all you have to do to see that statement holds meaning is scroll through my other reviews and see that the enemies to lover’s trope...

Before the coffee gets cold a book talk (Non-spoiler! You're welcome)

Before the Coffee Gets Cold: Amazon.co.uk: Kawaguchi, Toshikazu, Trousselot, Geoffrey: 9781529029581: Books Dear Reader,  This review will not contain spoilers, so feel free to read if you haven't yet read the book, and with that let's begin:  These stories definitely build in intensity as you plough on, with subtly building engagement. The first two stories for me provided little interest, a point at which usually I would choose to DNF and call my loses. However, something about the writing, simple but almost translucent into the lives of these individuals, gave me the impression that it had more to give despite the seemingly stagnant story endings.  I think the best way to describe my growth to loving this book is recognising the beauty within its simplicity. As a predominantly YA reader myself, I couldn't help but expect this book to tie up in a perfect interloping knot at the end. My hope of this, I see now, may have blinded me to the crystal  humanity being bare...
