Writer's block sucks!

I haven't posted anything for a while, because I've been suffering from a severe case of writers block. Both the blogging kind and the novel writing kind. I mean my hands wanted to write/type but my head just couldn't think of what to say. it was a very frustrating few weeks to say the least. my mom has also been advising me to get a job which has also taken up some time, a waste of time,as no one actually wants to hire me mostly because i have no experience. at the moment i am reading the study trilogy; so far I'm up to magic study. they are quite a good series to read, especially if you like magic. which i do ! anyway sorry for the ramble, hope you are all reading something good, bye for now x

Reading mojo

After worrying that I'd lost my reading mojo, ' cause i was reading half a book, getting bored and then ignoring it for a few weeks; I forced myself to read 5 books in a week. And i loved it !!! Reading makes me happy, its my way of escaping 'real' life and going to a place where anything can happen and the bad stuff is sorted out over night. Its magical to be in someone else's head and to focus on their problems (End of the world, Killer zombies, wars between werewolves and vampires, the main character is actually at the centre of a thousand year old prophecy etc.) instead of your own. Anyway its nice to be my geeky, soppy romantic bookworm self again Xx

Gobsmacked in Tescos !!!

The other day i walked into tescos and i thought i was going to faint from shock, when i picked up a book called Blood Ransom and realised it was THE sequel to Blood Ties (By Sophie McKenzie). The last time i heard anything about a sequel was on the author's website and she had written that although there was a plan to write a second book she had a long list of other things that required her attention first. So i think it's fair to say i was a bit shocked and excited when i saw the aforementioned sequel already published...And it was part of Tescos fantastic buy one get one free book offer (on a large selection of yellow stickered books). Not only that but the sequel to Beautiful Creatures (By Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl) was also out and thankfully it was a yellow stickered book too...That was a very good day x x x

Waterstones...

Ever tried to get a job at Waterstones...let me tell you it ain't easy. A few days ago i applied for a booksellers position and was unfortunately denied. Again. I also applied last year and wasn't accepted, it may sound irrational but it makes it hard to shop in there, probably because it rakes up the feeling of rejection. Oh well, always next time. Plus they do sell one of my favourite past times...Books! which kinda makes up for not giving me the job :-)

Sequels from my favourite store !!!

I've just recently bought the sequels to Fallen (By Lauren Kate) and Cresendo (By Becca Fitzpatrick) from waterstones. There was a buy one get one free offer and i just couldn't resist, so i begged my mum for the £10 and promised i would pay her back.
