T his is my non spoiler book ramble for London Belongs To Me by Jacquelyn Middleton, which I absolutely loved. Synopsis from Goodreads: Your flight is now boarding! Join Alex Sinclair for a life-changing, trans-Atlantic journey. London Belongs to Me is a coming-of-age story about friendship, following your dreams, and learning when to let go … and when to hang on. Meet Alex, a recent college graduate from Tallahassee, Florida in love with London, pop culture, and comic cons. It’s not easy being twenty-one-years-old, and Alex has never been the most popular girl.

Fleeing America after a devastating betrayal, she believes London is where she’ll be understood, where she belongs. But Alex’s past of panic attacks and broken relationships is hard to escape.

In the words of Albus Dumbledore "Another year gone" It's crazy to think it's already 2017, seriously where did 2016 go, it was a blur personally for me a good blur but a blur nonetheless. 2016 was a massive year of change for me as I finished university in the June and have been in my retail job since August. Also, I got to experience some amazing things such as seeing Romeo and Juliet on stage, I saw Aladdin, I got to see Ronan Keating perform live which is huge childhood dream come true, I also met one of my favourite people again in Carrie Hope Fletcher, as well as many more other things. I'm hoping 2017 can be filled with more exciting experiences that I cannot wait to share. This year I am FINALLY going to Disneyland Paris for my birthday end of February/ beginning of March. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge Disnerd and going to Disneyland is an absolute dream come true which I will be sharing as much as I can. Along with this in a couple of...

Hey Guys Today I am going to talk about the Live Action Cinderella Disney Big Sleeve edition which I recently purchased after seeing in it a vlog I was watching by Ellie Steadman after she was sent the Beauty and the Beast one. As soon as I saw it was Live Action Cinderella I had to buy it because it is my favourite Disney film. There are different ones you can buy which include Guardians of the Galaxy, Aladdin, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Finding Dory as well as Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast. It looks like a vinyl record which is in a sleeve with all the film details on the back like how long it is and what is on the discs as well as what is inside. I love how simple the design is by just using the shoe it is so beautiful. When taken out of the sleeve the front stays the same but the back slides off the show a gorgeous picture of Lily James as Cinderella fleeing from the ball, this picture is also the cover on the normal DVD edition. Once you open it up ...

Hey Guys I thought I would do something a little bit different and write a review about a very special pair of shoes that I bought from Irregular Choice. I wanted to wait until I had worn the shoes properly to be able to give an honest review about them. The shoes I am going to talk about are from Irregular Choice's Limited Edition Cinderella Collection, the ones I bought are the Sparkle On pair which are a high heeled and black sequinned. Sparkle On Firstly I want to talk about my experience of buying the shoes. Before that I want to say that I bought these shoes for a special reason and that was for my graduation day which was happening the following Thursday (2nd). I did queue up for these shoes when they were released at midday on Friday 28th October at the Irregular Choice in Birmingham however, these were not the pair I originally wanted as I actually wanted the Bibbidi Bobbidi pair. There was a decent queue outside the shop when I arrived and the shop had...

Hey Guys I thought I would share my love of reading a bit more on this blog by doing a monthly wrap up dedicated purely to the books I've read during each month whether I've read 1 book or 4 books, I will be sharing my in depth thoughts trying not to spoil them if I can avoid it but if it is sequels or series then sometimes they can be avoided, so approach with your own caution. I will also keep you updated on how I am progressing towards my Goodreads goal which is set at 40 books. The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo The first three books I read this month were the Grisha trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. These are made up of Shadow and Bone (Book 1), Siege and Storm (Book 2) and Ruin and Rising (Book 3). These books are about a girl called Alina Starkov who is just a plain ordinary girl until her best friend is brutally injured in an attack, where she unleashes a dormant power to save his life. This power could be used to save her war ridden country. She is then taken to the ro...

Hey Guys I did a post on the best 5 shows I have seen on stage which you can read here  which I wanted to follow that up by doing a Top 5 shows I want to see. 1. The Lion King I feel like all my theatre friends even my sister has seen this show apart from me. Unfortunately I missed out on the school trip for this when I was in Year 7 because I opted for something else. I am hoping this is the one most likely on this list that I am going to go and see soon. I am a huge lover of Disney if you didn't know and I like The Lion King it's not one of my favourites but I would put it on out of choice and I am intrigued to see how it is going to be done on stage and how good the music will sound. However, the tickets for this show are very expensive which puts me off just a little bit and is the main reason why I haven't seen it yet. Lion King is on at the Lyceum Theatre in London. 2. The Jersey Boys This is a musical that has been on my list for a very long time becaus...

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...
