I Am Number Four by Pitacus Lore


I bought this book recently and it took me less than 2 days to read it, it was that good. Although it is seen as a sci fi book, which is not normally my thing, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is can also sometimes be found in the childrens book section, however so was Harry Potter and the Twilight Saga, so don't let that put you off.

It's about a guy who's being hunted... him and nine others (now only 6 left ) are the only hope for the  survival of their planet ( I don't want to give too much away, but their not human)  It's full of action and adventure and it kept me gripped till the very end. It's also got love and friendship it an American High School.

There is planned to be more books, and this book is about to be released as a film. The film staring not only the gorgeous Alex Pettyfer as John Smith, but also Dianna Agron (or known to most of us as Quinn Fabray from Glee) as his love interest Sarah. I am very excited about this new film. It was released 23rd February, so quickly read the book and then go see the film.
Here's the trailer:


The book's amazing and it looks like the film will be to. Enjoy :)

The Six Nations


You make just think that I have gone mad, Rugby? whats so good about that?? But during the past couple of weeks I have been loving the six nations! The Six Nations being a rugby tornament including England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy (there are 6 of them, hint the SIX nations) Now your still probably thinking why would I want to waste my saturday afternoon watching the rugby. I'll tell you why - the men. Beafy guys in tight shorts running around and tackling each other, what girl wouldn't want to watch that??? I mean seriously. sometimes there's even a bit accident, someone starts bleeding coz they got punched in the face or someone breaks a bone.. its quite addictive and way more dangerous than football.

Now we have the why? sorted out now we move on to the what? and the how? Ok so most of you probably don't understand rugby, you probably don't even understand football (mentioning no names...uh Hannah!!) so I have found a quick and easy to understand girls guide to rugby. It's on a blog called Bookshelf Boyfriend and includes most you need to know about rugby. Heres the web address: http://www.bookshelfboyfriend.com/motoring/articles.php?article_id=176 However if you have no intention to actually understand the game then just sit and admire the muscles ;)

If you live in England all the games are available to watch live on the BBC. The list of all the games, times and dates can be found here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/4797831.stm. I believe some of the games are also available on BBC America or you can watch them at a later date on BBC iplayer : http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/

If you are now thinking about watching a bit of the six nations then there are plently more matches to go. Here is a clip of the highlights in the England Vs Wales game to get you started.



Enjoy :)

Next's Kitten Heels

At the moment Next have a gorgeous range of kitten heels, that I adore. Next generally has a good range of shoes, but these are really something.
As they are kitten heels, the heel is not too high, and therfore they are really comfortable to walk in for long periods of time. They are available in a range of styles, my favourites being , Bow Kitten Shoes (Navy) and Red Floral Print Kitten Heels, but I personally like them all.

I have bought the navy ones with a bow, but at only £25 I am thinking about buying another pair as well. These shoes look perfect with skirts if your dressing up but they also look amazing with jeans. They really add a classy touch to every outfit.

You can order these online from the next website:
http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/women/shoesandboots/42
or you can buy them from your nearest next store.

I hope you enjoy the shoes

Cath Kidston Phone Cases

I have fallen in love with the new blackberry and iphone cases from Cath Kidston, they have introducted some new prints however still have some of the retro other prints from the normal bags and purses. They fit perfectly to my blackberry and come with a magnetic strip that locks your blackberry if you have forgotten to lock it before putting it in the case to save battery. these cases are cute and actually practical and i would recommend them to everyone!! blog 028

Musical futures

A couple of weeks ago I applied for role of Musical Futures Champion; amazingly I was accepted ! was 1 out of 20 in the whole of the UK! On the 21st of January, I went on a training day. It included learning about what our role as a musical futures champion would be, this was to encourage young musical talent, who put their music up on a schools sight almost a safe version of YouTube called NUMU. We have to comment using lots of positives and encouragement but also constructive criticism to help the talent improve. The course consisted of some people explaining techniques about how to approach the people about their music, about how it would feel to get the feedback and being given the confidence and praise by your peers about your music. Personally I found it really helpful and inspiring to meet my fellow champions that managed to get to the final stages to talk to the young talent of today.
My friend's favourite song is Lucky by Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz. It is truly beautiful and i highly recommend listening to it !
It was recently replayed by Glee ,so it has become a new playlist favourite !
I actually love it, its so cute its an acoustic duet about a couple. It really shows off both their voices and if you haven't heard Colbie Caillat's voice yet here's a couple of her best songs is Bubbly or Oxygen they are stunning!

They have quite a high platform for the heel that's the secret for keeping them comfortable.
