Hey Guys So another month has come and gone and we are now 3/4 of the way through the year which is madness. This means it is time for another monthly review. September has been a very busy month for me but an absolutely amazing one with me getting to go to some amazing events that happened. Firstly this month I attended the book event at The Glee Club for Carrie Hope Fletcher's debut novel On The Other Side which you can read about here to see in depth about the event. I would like to thank Carrie for taking the time to read the blog post I did and for sharing it with everyone. Sticking with the Carrie theme the second exciting thing that happened this month was that me and one of my friends went to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the Hippodrome in Birmingham and I loved it so much was amazing to see a film I loved during my childhood be played out in front of me. I loved Lee Mead and Carrie as Mr Potts and Truly there relationship on stage was lovely. My biggest surpri...

Hey Guys On Monday 12th September I attended Carrie Hope Fletcher's book signing for her fiction book On The Other Side at the Glee Club in Birmingham. This is the second time I have met Carrie and once again she was an absolute pleasure to listen too. I attended this event on my own, and I must stay that I think the Glee Club and the Waterstones team planned and hosted the event so well considering there was 350 people that turned up to this event and each one of those people had bought a ticket and a book. We were seated quite early as doors opened at 6 and I was in a seat by 6:30 with the event starting at 7, however there were people who turned up 10 minutes before the event and had to stand up because of all the seats that were taken which gives you an idea of how many people attended this event. Before the signing of the actual books, there was a 40 minute question and answer session with a representative from Waterstones asking Carrie questions about her book, being...

Hey Guys It's that time again for a end of month review and favourites, I cannot believe that it is September now as we speak. So August wasn't exciting like July was but this month I got a job, found out that I will be graduating in November apart from that I enjoyed my last month of summer freedom before having to deal with adult life. One thing that I was so excited about this month was the My Burberry Black campaign which featured Lily James and it is stunning and I cannot wait to smell the perfume. FILM: I went to the cinema 4 times this month which is better than previous months. I saw Finding Dory, Romeo and Juliet, Star Trek and Suicide Squad. I enjoyed Finding Dory for what it was I wouldn't see it again but I enjoyed it nonetheless and I did tear up quite a few times and baby Dory is the most adorable squish possible. Yes I am still harping on about this play but I went to see Kenneth Branagh's Romeo and Juliet in cinema which was the showing that was br...

Hey Guys Hope everyone is ok. Lately I have been in a very theatre mood so I thought I would list the best 5 shows I have seen on stage both play and musical. 1. Aladdin I only saw this show in June of this year as it only opened in May, and it was absolutely amazing. This is one of my favourite Disney movies and to see it on stage was magical, I have a whole blog post review on it which you can see here . I urge you to go and see it as it'll make you laugh and cry and the music is just fantastic. 2. Kenneth Branagh's Romeo and Juliet Once again I only saw this recently and it was really worth the wait it was amazing translation of the Shakespeare tragedy which is my personal favourite play. I recently saw this in cinema as well as unfortunately there was no Richard Madden when I saw it at the theatre. Again I have a review here so can read my in-depth thoughts on it but it was so good, the acting was flawless. 3. Wicked    I feel like this...

Hey Guys Can't believe August is here already so that means it is time for another monthly favourites this time for July. I spent a majority of July away I went to London with my best friend for a couple of days we went to see Romeo and Juliet, also out of the blue we got to see the premier for Star Trek: Beyond in Leicester Square which was amazing to experience. I then went on holiday down to Somerset for a week with my family, then I went on a group trip to have a tour of Wembley Stadium. PLAY: I feel like this is obvious but the best thing I did in July was go and see the Branagh Theatre Company production of Romeo and Juliet which stars Lily James, Richard Madden, Derek Jacobi and Meera Syal. Unfortunately we did not get to see Richard Madden due to his injury but that did not take away the fact that it was an absolute acting master class and an amazing interpretation of Shakespeare. My and my friend Amy did a full review which you can check out here  to see our thoughts...

On the 12 th July me and my best friend Amy went to watch Kenneth Branagh’s take on Romeo and Juliet at the Garrick Theatre in London. Anyone who knows me knows how excited of I have been to see this play and we had both waited 6 months to see this. There is a plethora of famous names in this notably Branagh reuniting his Cinderella couple of Lily James and Richard Madden as the star crossed lovers. Additionally, another Cinderella actor of Derek Jacobi undertaking the role of Mercutio and actress Meera Syal playing the Nurse. Unfortunately, due to injury Richard Madden did not perform which I have to admit was disappointing but as they say the show must go on, which it did amazingly well we were both in awe of the standard of acting we saw. The play is set in 1950s Verona and is very La Dolce Vita in style, however the traditional Shakespeare language is used and there is also a lot of added Italian in there which worked so well. The staging was phenomenal yet ve...

Hey Guys Today I'm going to talk about how the month of June went for me it was rather busy and hectic but thoroughly enjoyable at the same time. So this month I went to London then I went glamping in Chepstow with my boyfriend and some friends then I went to the Glee Club in Birmingham for a Comedy Night for a friend's birthday. Additionally, me and my boyfriend have a booked trip to Disneyland Paris for next February-March for my birthday, this will be my first time ever going to Disney which is an absolute dream come true. FILM: This month I watched one film in the cinema which was Alice Through The Looking Glass which I thoroughly enjoyed and thought had a lovely message about time. I also did see the first one before I saw this one and enjoyed that as well. I'd give them both a 4/5 stars, not my favourite but I still really enjoyed them nonetheless. BOOKS: I read three books this month which were The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan, Always with Love by Giov...
