Looking For Alaska

   Hi everyone! Just a quick note to update you all on my book shelf details! I couldn't resist the Gold 10th Anniversary edition of Looking For Alaska by John Green I found in my local bookstore...I bought it today and was honestly shaking while I was walking to the checkout!

I am currently reading (and enjoying) Ticket To Love by Dawn Porter, so look out for a review soon!

Book-haul Alert!

   Beth and I made a mistake today by going to the library. It turns out bibliophiles should stay far, far away from any building that holds a large quantity of books. It will only end in bloodshed and tears.

Well, not literally. But still. It isn't a pretty sight.

   Anyway, we visited our local library today and borrowed a few books. And every book we saw, we ended up making an excuse as to why we should have it. We had to limit ourselves in the end to the amount we could actually take, because I'm sure if we could we would have taken the whole young adult/teenage section. That's bad, isn't it? I probably shouldn't admit that. Oh well.

But this post is just something of a warning: you are going to be getting a lot of reviews soon.

   Hopefully the books I've borrowed will manage to knock me out of this reading slump that I'm still stuck in. Although saying that, I've been able to read stories on Wattpad, just not actual physical, published books. Strange, I know.

We'll be posting soon, so check back on us.

Thanks!

Review: An English Boy in New York by T.S. Easton

    

 An English Boy in New York is a book by T.S. Easton, first published in 2014 by Hot Key Books.

Before I start, I will issue a warning to all readers. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. Basically, this book was a really good read, and I cannot fault the writing, but I do have some criticism with the facts, so let's start with that.

At one point in the book it mentions that New York is 4 hours ahead from England. In real life, New York is 5 hours behind. But it then goes on to say that if it was 2pm in New York, it would be 6pm in England, meaning New York would be 4 hours behind. One more thing I noticed was when Ben (the main character) listed countries within Great Britain, there was no mention of Wales. But, alas, these are petty mistakes for me to point out, so I will continue with my review.

I believe An English Boy in New York is the sequel to Boys Don't Knit, thus, it is about Ben, a teenage boy who loves to knit. Ben has recently won a trip to New York to take part in KnitFair USA, and only has one person to take with him...with his girlfriend, Megan, unable to go...who will join him on the trip of a lifetime?

I loved this book, and once Ben got to New York, I could not put this down. To show you how much I enjoyed it, I read it in under 24 hours (along with doing other normal day-to-day things)!

To laugh, cringe and drop a few stitches with Ben, read An English Boy in New York!

We're on Wattpad!

   Wattpad. The holy grail for story writers and their readers. 
   
   If you don't know what Wattpad is, it's basically where anybody can either post their stories, or read stories written by other people. If you're thinking this doesn't sound too great, trust me when I say it is. I suggest you drop everything you're doing right now (well, not literally, and not until you finish reading this post ;D ) and check out Wattpad. I can pretty much guarantee you won't regret it.

If you do know what Wattpad is, congratulations! You belong to the awesome family already.

   Now newcomers, I won't lie to you: there are grammar mistakes, but there are bound to be! These stories aren't being edited, and they're not being made perfect. But they are amazing. Or at least most of them are. It's just the same as picking up a book that's been published; you either like it or you don't. Some are a hit and miss while others just call to you. 

So if you don't have Wattpad, I think you should go get it. Like, now.

Warning: binge reading may ensue.

   And if you already have Wattpad, go give The Perks in Our Stars (@the_perksinour_stars) a follow! 

Thanks!
