The US trailer for the film (which makes it look a bit like a grindhouse film, but these things happen).

I really LOVED this book. I've been on a poetry/verse style kick lately so this caught my eye immediately. The flow of the story worked really well and the illustrations added a lot to it. I learned a lot, and I found it hard to put down. I would love to see more like this.

"I spend quite a bit of time in England and I've gor quite a few English mates so passed me on to Loyle Carner. I just love it. The last verse really caught me-it sounds very deep and sad and beautiful, all at the same time. He's got an amazing voice and it's an awesome combination with Jorja Smith."

This book deserves all the hype it gets. For a story that takes place mainly in a minute this book will be with me for a lifetime. I read it in 1 sitting devouring the lines written in verse while pulling the strings of my soul. Relevant, important stories to be shared and light to be shed on such a soul crushing subject.

Moonrise by Sarah Crossan
Having discovered Sarah Crossan and the style of writing in verse earlier this year, I was keen to read her latest book. Moonrise is told from the point of view of Joe. His brother Ed is on death row in Texas for murdering a policeman and the story starts as the date of execution is set.
I love the medium of verse as a writing tool – Crossan is able to convey emotions and tell a story in far less words than a conventional novel. The topic of the death penalty is interesting and thought provoking and its perfectly pitched for the young adult audience it is aimed at (but is also of interest to adults too).
If you fancy something a bit different, I would recommend this or any of Crossan’s books wholeheartedly.
  
Grace has stayed behind in the Lake District to get to know Peter better. However, a round of burglaries is making him withdraw. And Grace is working as a consultant on a play that is plagued with problems. Should she have stayed behind? Another fun caper with two likable leads.

I received a copy of American Royals from Random House Books for Young Readers through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I thought this book had a great premise but was a little disappointed at the lack of history. All we got is that in this verse it is a faux pas to drink tea.
Okayyyy.
The characters are great but there's that lack of communication trope so present in ya novels.

Piece of Me by Britney Spears

"This is my favorite Britney record, and Blackout is one of my favorite albums of all time. I remember hearing this song and thinking the lyrics were incredible, especially the part about sneaking away to the Philippines. It elevated my love for Britney because it was personal and kind of a ’Fuck you’ as well. The auto-tuned verse made it sound like it was from the future. It hasn’t dated at all"
