Books I've read

 

 

The Dog Detectives: Lost in London by Fin & Zoa

Children's, Picture book

(All the major London landmarks are explored in this hide and seek read...check out my review right here on the site!)

9/10

Debutantes by Cora Harrison

Young Adult

(Out of all the books I've read based in the 1920s, this is by far my favourite!  My review...)

10/10

Run! The Elephant Weigh's a Ton! by Adam Frost

7 years +

(The funny thing is I looked at pictures of baby elephants a few days before reading about this cute one...)

9/10

Secrets, Lies & Locker 62 by Lil Chase

Young Adult

(A prime example of how NOT to treat people...)

8/10

 

Read but not finished

Suzunari! Vol 1 by Shoko Iwami

Manga, Young Adult

(Suddenly having an almost identical twin with cat ears and a tail, plus a sometimes simplistic view of the world makes life interesting...)

 

Started

Fury by Elizabeth Miles

Young Adult

(It's the ONE series I prefer the antagonists to the protagonists...)

Watched

Winx, Season 1

I never get bored watching the girls fight evil and have fun!

Chocolat & Vanilla (Sugar Sugar Rune)

French version

It's rather crazy! But great fun to watch. The story does seem to focus more on Chocolat - she is my favourite character.

H2O: Just Add Water

So I read the synopsis of every remaining episode...and I'm so excited about what will happen! It's so fun and the girls have a lot to cope with using their mermaid powers for good.

Covert Affairs: Season 1

This is rather like Alias, which I have and am slowly watching. A big difference is that it is the real CIA so there's slightly less deception than in Alias. In some ways it's a bit happier than Alias, which is why I'm able to watch more than 1 episode in a week (which is all I can stand for Alias). It stars an actress I like, Piper Perabo (or something like that) - she was in Coyote Ugly which I don't like anymore at all (best not to get me started on that film) but I do love this. So much fun! Would prefer if she wore a few more conservative clothes, but it's livable.

 

 

 

Shugo Chara!

Currently this is the most watched anime for me. It is that bit cheerier than Winx - well, it's overall animation style is cuter and brighter than Winx, even when the story gets dark there's so many laughs to be had. It's what I need at the moment. Open Heart!!! (that only makes sense if you've seen it...) Elu makes me laugh - as does everyone else.
