Hello, i'm back! Long time no blog! Oops. For that i can only apologise. Anyway, new year new me and all that.
So that's it, 2015 is over! At the start of the year I decided I would try to read 50 books. Unfortunately I was unable to achieve that. However, I managed to read 30 books and I am pretty pleased with myself! You can catch my previous update here. I thought I would do the last update of 2015 now! Instead of setting myself another goal, i'm just going to keep reading as I was this year. My book reviews have been pretty popular, so I think i'm going to continue to post reviews in 2016.
So lets get on it!


'The Woman Who Went To Bed For A Year' by Sue Townsend was the first book I read this time round and i'm afraid to say that I was very disappointed. I found that it didn't really have a plot to it, and I really struggled to finish it! It was really boring, and sadly not for me.


'Dark Places' by Gillian Flynn was another book I read. It was, interesting to say the least. After reading 'Gone Girl', I was eager to read more of her books. This is a 'who done it' style book, and it revolves around a girl trying to find out who killed her family many years ago. It was very weird, and original. I actually quite liked it, although it took a bit of time to get into. However, I guessed the murderer long before the end so I wasn't really kept guessing, which is what I look for in a book. Overall though, it was a solid read.


I then decided to re-read a book I read a few years ago, as the film was coming out. It is 'Paper Towns' by John Green. I really like this book. Because I was re-reading it I managed to whizz through it, and I loved it just as much as I did the first time. It's my second favourite John Green book (after Looking For Alaska), a great read, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy read.



I then decided to read a series, after seeing one of my good friends read it earlier on in the year. It's 'The Selection' Series by Kiera Cass. I wasn't expecting much from them, as I thought they were just a typical book about royals, but oh my God. I was hooked on them! They were so gripping, and I read all four of them within a week. They are basically about a competition that the royals run to see who will be the Prince's wife. Sounds rotten, but it was so much more than what it seems! I don't want to ruin anything because it needs to be read to be believed, but if you're looking for a new series to get obsessed with, then look no further than these! They reminded me a bit of The Hunger Games, but I actually think I might prefer them!


'The Book Thief' by Markus Zusak was another book I read. I have to admit, I really struggled with this. It's had so many amazing reviews, and I just wanted to be obsessed with it, like so many others were. However, I wasn't. It wasn't bad, it was far from it, it just dragged a little bit, and it took me ages to finish, because I could not get into it. It was very emotional, and I did cry, and it was very well written, it just wasn't really for me unfortunately.

I did a style post not that long ago all about Perrie Edward's style, and I thought it was about time I do another one of the girls from Little Mix! I picked Jade Thirlwall, purely because her style is so unique, and beautiful. She knows exactly what suits her but isn't afraid to take risks! Have a look below!

















Isn't she beautiful.

Hello world! So, it's been a while.. over a month in fact! For that, I can only apologise. I haven't had any free time, and any free time I have had, i've spent sleeping, or socialising. Juggling a 9-5 every day uni course, a magazine club and a part time job, I have found it extremely difficult to manage my time. However, I feel like I am getting into a routine now. It's just taken some time.
I am happy that I took this time out of blogging, because I definitely would be behind on my uni work if I did. Graphic Design is intense! I wouldn't change it for the world though.
I have also moved back up to Dundee in a flat with my friends, and I love my new space. I especially love the bed, I really like what i've done with it, it's very me.
So, I just wanted to write this post really just to say, hey, I am alive! I will get back to blogging, i've got many posts lined up.
Speak soon!

The first photo I took on a disposable camera in years! I visited the runs of the Roman Bath house in my hometown of Bearsden with one of my close friends Cara. History really interests me, particularly the Romans, so this was right up my street!

Taken in Dundee. I went to a child's play park with two of my uni friends, and we had a blast! It was fun acting like little kids for a bit, just being silly, and enjoying ourselves! This is me on the flying fox.

Another photo at the play park. This is me (on the left), and Helen (right) on one of those climbing frames. Believe it or not, it was actually pretty high, and hard to get up to! I can't believe little kids don't hurt themselves on it!

I walked past this door one day in Dundee, on my favourite street (see photo later on) and I loved it! I loved the vibrant yellow against the stone wall, so of course that was getting captured on camera!

Another photo of Dundee. This is of a park. It has a bandstand in the middle, and it's so tranquil here. I've came here a few times now and it's just great for thinking, and spending time with friends. A really nice place.

This is a view of the park I mentioned in the last photo, but it gives you a better idea of how big and peaceful this space is.

As I mentioned in the yellow door photo, I have a favourite street in Dundee, and this is it! This photo doesn't do it much justice but it's a really long, narrow, cobbled street with little doors in the wall. What's better? It's called 'Strawberry Bank'. I think it is really beautiful, and I feel a sense of calm when i'm here. (Oh, it also leads to the park.)

I went to the Botanic Garden's in Dundee with Helen and Rachel and Rachel took this very artsy shot of me walking down a stone path. I love this shot, as it really captures just how beautiful my surroundings were.

Another shot of the Botanic Gardens, this time an adorable river with a cute little bridge to cross over. I thought this was so picturesque.

The same shot of the cobbled path but this time without me in it. I really love this, and I would love to have something similar to this in my back garden!

(l-r) Rachel, Myself, Helen. This is a shameless selfie that we took while we were at the Botanic Gardens. We just wanted to capture this moment, an unplanned day out with some great people.

There was a greenhouse in the Botanic Gardens, and in it was a pond, with fish in it. You can't really see the fish in this, but it looked beautiful.

Trees! This was also in the greenhouse, but I just loved how it was full of trees, and so captivating! It made me feel like I was in the Amazon Rainforest!

 So that's part one! Stay tuned for part two coming soon!
Thanks for reading!
