Books I've Read

Secrets and Sapphires by Leila Rasheed

Young Adult, Historical

(A mixture of Downton, BBC version of Pride and Prejudice, and lots more breath holding twists...)

10/10

Reread
A lot since when I'm ill/at hospitals I reread books, as I know what to expect and know I'll get laughs (& tears)...

Sweethearts: Ice Dreams by Jo Cotterill

Children's, 10 years +

(Yet again I related a lot to the overworking Tania...)

10/10

Sweetharts: Model Behaviour by Jo Cotterill

Children's, 10 years +

(I love how such a fashion conscious Lola gets scrubbing in an animal sanctuary and discovers her softer side [as well as friends' shallow side]!)

10/10

Sweethearts: Deep Water by Jo Cotterill

Children's, 10 years +

(This one had me in tears at many points; Pearl goes through an awful lot!) 

10/10

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer

Young Adult

(I'm quite the fang girl now. I adore the movies. Some parts are dire - ditto in the book - but they make me laugh, roll my eyes, and are enjoyable, which is the point of a book, isn't it? For a series I didn't expect to enjoy, it's light and fluffy [to me] because I know it so well. Although I haven't reread it many times, the movies are really true to the books [so far] so it was fun to spot the differences. And yes I couldn't resist my earlier pun!) 

9/10

Watched 

Lilpri

REWATCH! - Anime

10/10

(I think the girls will be learning a new song soon - I know the next one is really interesting!) 

Shugo Chara!

REWATCH! - Anime

10/10

(Utau is slowly getting more screen time and Amu recently got her heart rod weapon in her Amulet Heart transformation, which was pretty cool.) 

Winx: Season 2

REWATCH! - French Anime

10/10

(This never fails to make me smile!) 

Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure
REWATCH! - Film

8/10

(This is my least favourite of the series, but I'm rewatching them as a copy of the latest movie on its way to me. Tink is in mega trouble because she got made with a friend...) 

Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue

REWATCH! - Film

10/10

(I love how Tink's friends play such a big role in this film - there's a good insight to all of their characters, and parts made me cry...) 

H20 Just Add Water: Season 2

REWATCH! - Drama

10/10

(After dreaming about being a mermaid last night [with 2 other girls] and hiding our powers from people [somehow having magical objects], it was a no-brainer that I'd be watching this today! I don't hate Catherine as much this time - she is a bit of a madam at times, but she makes a good enemy for the girls.) 

Vampire Diaries: Season 1

Drama

10/10

(Only I saw one episode of this since I need cheerier things at the moment...) 

Star Trek Enterprise: Season 1

Sci-fi Drama

9/10

(I enjoy watching this from time to time, especially when they have to dress up in the local costumes. Today's episode was a pretty one!) 

Played

Yes, I'm back into gaming for now! 

Final Fantasy 13

REPLAY! - Role-play Game

8/10

(Currently, haven't completed it before; I think I'm understanding the battle system a bit more, which is making fights a little easier.) 

Final Fantasy 13-2

Role-play game

10/10

(First time playing it; the parts which weren't right with FF13 are extremely right in this sequel! Totally adore it, can't get enough of it, especially with Sereh as the main protagonist.)
