I haven’t had a lot of time in May to love things due to my last exam being on the 18th of May. I wish I had the opportunity to read more books this month but I had to read Tess of the D’Urbervilles, Middlemarch and The Picture of Dorian Gray again for University and then I have finally finished Cinder now.
Books
Cinder
Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl.
Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.
I HAVE FINISHED IT AND ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! *Review to follow*
Random stuff
- I have also been loving my beautiful MacBook Air which I cheekily purchased for myself and even more I love my mint blue keyboard cover and case for it, maybe this is why I have been blogging so much because I just love typing on it.
- My daisy sandals from Primark – (in the picture) I love them soo much. They are pretty and cheap so I couldn’t go wrong.
- MUA- Undress Your Skin – I am still in love with this highlighter, I just put more and more on my face like ‘la la la so glittery and shiny.’
- Hollister Wild Chase perfume.
TV shows
- Reign (on Netflix) – I am finally up to date with the show, I love this show. I use to watch The Tudors when I was younger and I adored that, I do love a historical tv show. Oh, the scandal. If you don’t know, this show follows the life of Queen Mary of Scotts and her life in France married to Francis II of France. It is awesome!!
- Teen wolf (season one and two) I know I am late in joining this fandom, but for years, I have been meaning to watch it. So, I have only watched up to season 2 because that is what is on Netflix…I will catch up with the other seasons soon.
- Orphan Black (week episodes) This is one of my favourite shows ever, it follows the lives of clones and it is really clever in its depiction. All of the clones are played by the wonderful Tatiana Maslany. Each clone has extremely different characteristics and it is soo majestic to watch her play all of them.
- Full House- WATCH TRAILER HERE I use to watch this when I younger and loved it soo much, I got to watch the family grow up over eight seasons and was ecstatic to learn that ‘Fuller House’ was coming out and that it featured the original cast grown up.
- (many years later) Fuller House – one season at the moment, the family are back (except Michelle – aka – Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) I love it, it is the same girl in each gif.
Just appears that I have been watching a lot of Netflix and avoiding responsibility…yep sounds about right. Do you like any of the stuff I have mentioned?
Once I find a show on netflix I love, I don’t do anything other than watch it so I’m avoiding it for now while I’m back into reading and blogging. I’m sure one day in my life I will be able to manage all the things I love to do but at the moment it seems its one thing at a time ahah 😛

I remember watching some of the older ones when I was younger, but I don’t remember many. I know I never watched them all. It’s a good show though. I loved how in the first one they all made fun of the Olsens!

Yeah I found that hilarious, they made digs at other times throughout the series as well. I do think they could have made the effort to come back, even if it was just for the first episode. 😀

I’ve watched reign since the beginning, I still mourn for francis, the love they had was amazing. I know they were following history but I really think they should have gone off the path for this show. I continue to watch because of Mary and Kathryn. They are amazing together. I’ve also been watching teen wolf from the beginning. Love every piece of it. I watched full house as a kid. One show I really suggest binge watching if you haven’t seen it already is pretty little liars. I just did in April all 5 seasons just in two week! The 6th season is coming soon and they are working in the 7th and finally season which starts in July I believe. I refused for so long to watch it. I don’t know why. Maybe because I thought it was going to be stupid, well now I feel like the stupid one.This whole time missing out on a great show.

Thanks for the awesome comment, yeah I miss Francis soo much. 😭😭😭 I’m glad that they made Francis and Mary happy again before he died because she was really annoying me with her affair. I do love Teen Wolf. I use to watch full house when I was younger as well. Ah Pretty Little Liars, I LOVE THAT SHOW! I’ve watched that since the beginning 💖 Who’s your favourite little liar? It is amazing, you should check out ‘How to get away with murder’ if you like PLL x

I will definitely have to check that out. My favorite Pretty Little Liar would be Hannah for some reason I connect with her even though I didn’t grow up fat I didn’t have those issues. but I kind of connect with each one of them in a different way I feel like Emily is shy, and driven. Allison is that bully girl and I was kind of a bully in high school sorry my bad. The knowledge that Spencer has it’s something that I strive for every day and then Aria always likes dating an older man, older men can be more mature. I never dated a teacher but I understand love the way she does. So definitely Hannah or aria. LOL and yes I am so glad Mary and francis were happy together and found their way back to each other because it was killing me. I almost stopped watching the show because of her Affair it was ridiculous.
