I may be coming down with something ....

Hey there guys, so today I've been feelings pretty rubbish. I can't stop being cold and shivery and my throat has been hurting. I also had to go to school so I was even more miserable, with very boring classes today. So when I got home I made my first cuppa tea since last winter. See I love tea but I only drink it when it's cold so mostly in the winter to warm me up, so I don't really drink it in the summer. After a while I started to go cold again so I've had a nice warm shower and put my p.j's on and dressing gown with warm fluffy socks! This is either a sign of me being ill or it's winter, I can't decide. I also can't take non coated paracetamol and that's all we have in the cupboard. So little story for you, I very bravely went to take the two paracetamol that I'm supposed to take, the first one I swallowed and all is dandy, I then go to take the second one and I can't! I can can feel it start to dissolve in my mouth so I have no other choice but to spit it out in the sink and now I'm left with a very disgusting taste in my mouth :(.

I do like winter because I love winter clothes way more than summer clothes because I feel like they're a lot more comfy and snuggly and warm whereas summer clothes are a lot tighter and fitted (unless you have a flowy thing then obviously not). And of course Christmas is in winter. Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love the spirit of going Christmas shopping with all the decorations around the shopping center and being happy and excited to open your presents. I'm rambling a bit now but it kinda fits with the topic.... ish.

To wrap it up then (See what I did there? wrap it up? presents.... no okay) I'm slightly ill and I obviously had to share it with you guys to see if you have any remedies I could try to prevent my having a full blown cold because I really don't wan that!! So comment below and remedies or pick me ups you do when your feeling under the weather, and let me no if you agree with me about winter. Do you like it or do you hate it? I want to know :) Thanks for reading byee x

Book Review on Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver,Linger and Forever Series.

Hey there guys, now when I read these books it took me a while but not as long as books usually take me because sadly and annoyingly I'm a very slow reader, but these books captured my attention enough for me to read them rather fast, and because I enjoyed them so much I was dieing to review them so other people can go check them out and give them a little read because seriously they are absolutely amazing. So lets get to it....                                                                                                                                                      

 In the picture above are the three books in order, starting with Shiver. I'm going to give you a brief outline of what they're about because I think it's best to start there. So the books are about a pack of wolves living in Minnesota. The leader Beck owns a house on the edge of the woods, this is because the wolves turn into their human forms during the summer and then turn into their wolf forms during the winter. There's a girl named Grace who also lives on the edge of the woods and is often left to her own devices as her parents are busy and don't pay her much attention. In the first book,Shiver, the reader is met with Grace being attacked by the wolves.

 Throughout the book it flicks between Grace and Sam's point of view. Sam is one of the wolves and as the books develop we find that he was taken in by Beck when he was younger. I don't want to give too much away in case you decide to read them so I'm missing bits out and giving an overall thought on the series.
The books have many shocking moment that leave you craving more which is one of the ways Maggie creates the characters lives and story lines they lead. As it was a while ago since I read them I can't quite remember what happened in each book but I remember what happens throughout the series. The reader eventually find out that the wolves that attacked Grace were from the same pack that Sam was from and that he saved her from them. Sam has this power that none of the others can do, he can make himself turn human. Another fact that Maggie reveals is that when they reach a certain age they stay in their wolf from till they die, Beck who Sam looks up to as a father figure has reached that age and is now I wolf, we learn how much he impacts on Sam and the rest of the pack. The way Maggie Stiefvater has written the books you literally don't want to put them down, they entice you and you become apart of the word and characters within. She bring emotion with her writing which is important to this type of story line as there is a love story within.I strongly recommend these books and they cost £7.99 for each one, I got mine from Waterstones but you can buy them online. I know I haven't gone into much detail but I didn't want to spoil it for those who decide to read them. Thanks for reading x
