It's a Kind of Magic by Carole Matthews is a romance novel with a magical twist, as it is aptly named. The story, however, was not what I expected based on the blurb. The colourful, romantic and magical cover drew me in and promised intrigue. I couldn't wait to read it, but was I in for a surprise.

Contrary to my usual reading habits, I first watched Howl's Moving Castle, many years before even acquiring the book. It was weird, random, made little sense, and was absolutely wonderful. My hopes when reading the book would be that there would be some kind of explanation to the story but that it would be equally wonderful and magical.

The story follows young Sophie Hatter who is put under a curse by a witch. She sets out to discover herself and finds a new home in Howl's Moving Castle. Evil rumours are spread about Howl and so she should be wary as she enters the magical, random and utterly ridiculous castle.

It has taken me a while to jump on to the bandwagon of this series, written by Sarah J. Maas. I had heard so many great things about it that I was scared it wouldn't meet my expectations. I was afraid that the characters would be one dimensional, fall into the usual love triangle trap, and a story that had more or less been done before. So how did my expectations affect my reading of the book, and did it meet these fears of mine?

It's been a long journey. Five Percy Jackson and the Olympian (PJO) books, and finally, five books in the Heroes of Olympus (HoO) series. Ten books set in a wonderfully magical world, yet was this highly anticipated book everything we expected it be, and how was the series overall?

October 12th - 18th is Teen Read Week! We're currently in the middle of it but are you celebrating it? There are a few reasons as to why you should, one of these reasons being that the ambassador, whom I'm sure many of you will recognise, has recorded an introduction to tell you why this initiative is so important.

To celebrate the release of the film, The Giver, I decided to read the book before going to see the film. I had heard a mixture of opinions about the book and thought I'd make my own opinion on it. 

The Giver takes place in a seemingly Utopian society and follows a young boy named Jonas. There were reviews saying that this one was the best books they had ever read, and others claiming that it was slow paced and boring. Here's my opinion:

I am not a huge fan of Autobiographical books. I have only ever read one in my entire life and whereas it was entertaining enough, I still prefer to live my world of fantasy. There is one autobiography, however, that I just absolutely must get my hands on and I'm sure many of you will agree, especially after watching the unique book trailer to advertise it. Neil Patrick Harris is releasing an autobiography, but it's not like any you've ever read before...

Stephen King is a horror mogul and you would be hard pressed to find someone who does not know his name. Many films and television shows have been adapted from his books, with some of them becoming hit classics. With at least 50 novels under his belt, he is still writing and releasing books left, right and centre, with his most recent future release being Revival, due out November 2014. Today, we will be looking at his latest book, Mr Mercedes, a crime thriller novel that was released 3rd June 2014.
