First off, I loved the cover and at first i found myself intrigued by the story and Gris but as I continued to read this I found myself having a difficult time getting through it as it appeared to become a dull read and maybe that's my fault as I went in with the expectation of getting at least the creeps but it didn't happen. I will warn readers that this does contain some self-harm issues which at times can be very descriptive.

"I have been seeing Caraval featured on so many blogs and instagram accounts, I couldn't just not read it. I've read, “A MUST READ”, so many times; I knew I had to get my hands on it...

And I loved it! LOVE, LOVES, LOVED IT!

It was everything a book should be: fun, diverse characters; steady plot; twist and turns (let me tell you, there were so many twists- I got dizzy); romance; suspense; adventure! I read this book in one sitting; only stopping to use the bathroom once and another time to grab a quick snack (a handful of pink Starbursts). It was that good."

This book was really interesting, and I enjoyed reading it. I had trouble reading some of the history stuff (but that's probably because I just don't have a lot of patience). I kept thinking "okay, I believe you, now show me how!

The instructions were rather clear, but I would have liked more drawings. I felt like the whole book was history and information--which is important--but that only a little bit of it was actually instructional. It would have been easier to read it if the information had been better mixed in to the instructional.

On a side-note, as a sci-fi/fantasy writer, this book makes an excellent inspiration/source for writing about the supernatural!
  
The short stories in this are brilliant. There were a few that I ended up skipping (mainly just because I didn’t get along with the style of them) but I did read the majority of the short stories.

My favourites were by Jenny Han, Rainbow Rowell and David Levithan. They were all so festive and really got me in the festive spirit.

I also love the binding of this book! The page edges are a bright pink which is completely my colour! I also love hardbacks that have a bookmark in them – they are lifesavers!

I can’t believe that a collection with as many big names as this actually exists! I was in heaven while reading it!

Not enough good shows to stream (0 more)
I love Netflix since I love to binge watch my shows. However, it seems that once I finished a show, there is rarely anything else I want to watch. Its easy to blow through so many episodes and be left with next to nothing that interests you. I wish they had a ton my shows streaming. I do love the kids only section and profile you can make. This has helped keep my 1 year old entertained and when she does change the show, I don't have to worry about it being a show with inappropriate behaviors or words.

I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

I don’t know why I requested this novel. There is nothing in the description that would interest me in this novel. Honestly, I couldn’t have cared less about the story itself. It didn’t interest me at all. However, the characters were what got me. I loved them to distraction. They were overflowing with personality. Katie had strength and it was a joy to read her and Liam interact.

Overall the novel was a cute read but it is the characters that really make the story. While I wasn’t impressed with the novel as a whole, I did like the dialogue and character interactions.

One of Favourites
It’s a uniquely refreshing horror movie that actually scared me the first time I watched it, might have also had to do with the fact I was a kid but hey ho XD Now I seen it so many times I might not get scared but the thrill sure still remains.
I loved the characters and the atmosphere, the way Silent Hill was also presented came fairly close to the games as well.
The monsters were fun to watch, especially Pyramid Head and his morbid abilities to deskin a human in a matter of seconds hehe
Overall I can’t fault this movie, I definitely understand the fan following of the whole franchise.
