Synopsis
Audrey is over romance. Since her parents' relationship imploded her mother's been catatonic, so she takes a cinema job to get out of the house. But there she meets wannabe film-maker Harry. Nobody expects Audrey and Harry to fall in love as hard and fast as they do. But that doesn't mean things are easy. Because real love isn't like the movies...

The greatest love story ever told doesn't feature kissing in the snow or racing to airports. It features pain and confusion and hope and wonder and a ban on cheesy clichés. Oh, and zombies...

Manchester Christmas Markets

 
Last Thursday me and some friends decided to have a wander around the Christmas Markets as it's my first time experiencing them so of course I took my camera along with me to snap a few pictures. There's nothing like a Christmas market to get you in the festive mood and everywhere looked wonderful. The stalls were crammed with Christmas themed gifts and trinkets and don't even get me started on the food stalls. The German section smelt amazing and it took a lot of will power to not just buy everything and forget about the calories.

My Favourite Christmas Adverts

It's officially November which means it's pretty much Christmas and therefore time to start getting into the festive mood. It's also that time when all the Christmas adverts are released and it's honestly one of my favourite parts of the build up to Christmas. The John Lewis advert pretty much kicks off when everybody can start getting excited but whilst watching this years advert, I started thinking back on all my favourite Christmas adverts that have been released over the past few years and I decided to share them with you.

My September Wishlist

I have a bit of a problem when it comes to online shopping, I'm pretty good at refraining myself from actually buying anything but I like to constantly scroll through websites and add things to my mental wishlist. I like to imagine that I have an infinite amount of money and then look for things that I'd buy with it, most of it stuff that I don't even need. I then empty my basket after realising that my total comes to around £500. Money which I definately do not have.
However, I have compiled a pretty sensible list of items that i've found that I'd love to buy if I had the money to do so.

My Biggest Worries About Starting University

Most Anticipated September 2017 Book Releases

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

There are so many good books being released this month that I decided to do a little roundup of the ones that I’m most excited about. The majority of my selection are young adult but there are a couple of adult and nonfiction books in there as well. So, here are my top 12 September 2017 book releases.

Introductions

I’ve wanted to start a blog for years. There’s been times where I’ve created one, posted once or twice and then completely forgotten about it or just lost interest. But today I’ve decided to take the plunge and stick to it this time. 

So, why now? Well, I’m starting university in just under two weeks and I wanted somewhere to document this new chapter in my life. I knew I’d struggle to keep a written diary due to countless failed attempts in the past but I also like the idea of sharing my thoughts and feelings with the world. I’ve seen how close the blogger community has become and hopefully I might become part of it one day.
